IS-F High-Performance Luxury Sedan - Lexus Unveils the M3 Rival
The all-new 2008 Lexus IS-F high-performance luxury sedan will deliver more than 400 horsepower from a 5.0-liter V8 engine when it goes into production. The exciting new car makes a dramatic statement of Lexus performance.
The "F" designation was first conceived nearly 20 years ago with a project internally coded "Circle-F," with the "F" standing for "flagship." This was the original code for what became the Lexus Division. The Circle-F designation further evolved into the code name Flagship One, or F1, and the first F1 concept developed into Lexus' first vehicle, the LS. Since then, the "F" code has come to signify a special vehicle program within Lexus that falls outside the normal engineering and development process.
Lexus IS-F Performance Sedan
Much of the development of the new Lexus IS-F took place at Fuji Speedway and the Higashi-Fuji Technical Center in Japan. The Lexus IS-F is based on the proven rear-wheel-drive Lexus IS, which is equipped with a double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension. As well as the IS performs, Lexus engineers demanded much more of the all-new IS-F. The result is a performance tuned 5.0-liter V8 engine, topped with specially engineered heads fed by a two-stage intake system, that produces 400-plus horsepower and more than 350 lb-ft of torque. The all-new IS-F is equipped with engine-oil and transmission-fluid coolers for high-speed performance and a cylinder head-scavenging oil pump for high g-force driving.
The Lexus IS-F engine is mated to the world's first eight-speed direct sport-shift transmission. A new torque-converter lock-up control was developed that allows for a direct, crisp gear change through the constant lock-up of the torque converter in second through eighth gears. In Drive mode, the IS-F transmission performs with great smoothness, and the torque converter allows for great launch ability for fast standing-start acceleration that will register a zero-to-60 time in less than 4.9 seconds.
This unique transmission also features an advanced Manual mode. A pair of paddles located within a fingertip's reach behind the steering wheel enables the driver to make ultra-fast up-shift gear changes within a tenth of a second. Downshifts are accompanied by automated and incredibly precise throttle blips to match engine RPM to vehicle speed.
The impressive acceleration achieved by the Lexus IS-F requires it be equipped with heavy-duty Brembo brakes designed to the specifications of the Lexus engineering team. Huge, 14.2-inch cross-drilled front discs are gripped by rigid, powerful six-piston aluminum calipers, while 13.6-inch rear cross-drilled discs feature two-piston calipers. High-friction brake pads are equipped on all four wheels. The brakes are finished with the Lexus name displayed on the calipers, a first for a Lexus production vehicle.
The IS-F features custom-designed 19-inch forged alloy wheels as standard. The wheels were built to Lexus specifications by BBS and are surrounded by high-performance sport tires.
The attention to performance also extends to a modified suspension that lowers the entire car by more than a half-inch when compared to the base IS, and one full inch when compared to IS models equipped with 18-inch wheels. This specially modified suspension allows for an exciting and energetic drive, whether on a race track or the streets.
The IS-F features an all-new three-mode version of Lexus' Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system. In addition to the Normal mode, the new VDIM features a Sport mode that allows the driver to push the car even further before its braking-, throttle- and steering-control systems kick in. The third VDIM system mode is Off, which allows the driver to push the IS-F to its ultimate level of handling performance.
The attention to performance is complemented by modified styling cues that differentiate the IS-F from the standard IS. Lexus engineers provided the IS-F with a dual-exhaust system and quad-tail pipes, wider front fenders, and a larger grille and rear spoiler. Both the hood and lower intake were enlarged to accommodate and cool the V8 engine.
Like the exterior, the interior of the IS-F receives unique styling with aluminized composite trim and special surface treatments. The instrument panel includes an oil-temperature gauge and shift indicator-lights, while the "F" logo is showcased on the steering wheel and rear-center console.
In addition to the usual Lexus standards of comfort and convenience, the interior of the IS-F features specially shaped and trimmed seats, which hold the driver comfortably and securely in place. The special sport seats are available in black or a unique high-contrast white and black trim.
"The intent of creating the IS-F was not to be a competitor to other performance-sport sedans," said Carter. "Rather, the goal was to create a true performance sedan in a uniquely Lexus way-one that is totally authentic with a unique interpretation of raw driving thrill at all speeds and provides a whole new definition of 'usable power.'"
The IS-F will arrive at Lexus dealerships in early 2008.

По мне так колхоз, жабры сделали убогие, выхлоп тоже убогий, передний бампер не в кассу.
Обычный ис лучше, а точнее цельно выглядит, а этот как будто в гараже собрали петя и ваня. :(

Интересно, а заставить все эти лошади нормально ехать Lexus сможет? Судя по тому, как едет обычный IS250, это будет не очень просто.

Лично я не могу понять, во-первых жабры после колес вообще не понятно откуда, во-вторых нахрен было делать этот бампер аля БМВ и Мазда Мпс.
Расположения труб может и хорошее, но как это сделано тут, просто убого.
Надеюсь это всего лишь прототип.
А так Колхоз, ужоснах и как хотите.
В общем ниЗачет.Вся машина какая-то кривая получилась. :?

А мне понравился, вообще альтезза и IS мне очень нравятся что в новом что в старом кузове, и от альтеззы у меня остались хорошие впечатления, хотя минусов тоже полно главный - очень слабый движок 3S.

The Lexus IS in ALMS!

Considering the fact that the US market has always been a strategical place for Lexus, it is no surprise to see the "Race Ready" version of the super sedan Lexus IS make its debut next year in the ALMS (American Le Mans Series) alongside the Porsche 997 GT3, Panoz Esperante, Dodge Viper or the dominating Ferrari F430GT (champion).

The GT2 category which already was the most interesting last year (the Corvette had no competition in GT1, same for the Audi R10 in LMP1 despite outstanding performances from the Porsche Spyder in LMP...2) is getting even better with the Lexus IS 350GT. As you can see, Lexus decided to go for the 3.5 liter V6 instead of the IS-F 8 cylinders motor. The V6 should produce something between 450 to 500 horsepower.

А мне нравится, как он выглядит. Лексус не изменил своим последним дизайнерским тенденциям, а только усугубил некоторые черты, возможно доведя их до абсурда ради аэродинамики, эстетики, еще Бог весть чего... Но это ему к лицу :wink:
