Many people like me waiting and wondering which car will be the next victim of an "F" logo on it. Anyways back to the IS-F, this car has a 5.0-liter direct-injected V8, which will give you 350 lb-ft of torque and 400 hp!! Not like its huge engine its time from 0 to 60 is right under 4.9 seconds. This car also comes with the world’s first eight-speed "direct sport-shift" which is also in the Lexus LS 460. The engineers at Lexus also developed a thing called the torque-converter lock-up control that makes every single shift completed smooth and unnoticeable.
What also makes this car stand out are the BBS wheels which were specially designed for Lexus. Another awesome feature of this car is that it comes with Brembo brakes, many people don’t know that which is because Lexus actually put their logo on the caliper.
The only thing that worries me is the competition that it is going to face, with cars such as the new BMW M3. Both cars gave great performance and what really sets them apart is their appearance. So there will be some noticeable variation in the buyers of these cars since the BMW is a 2-door and the Lexus is 4-door. I predict that the people that will buy a Lexus over the BMW is maybe because they have kids or simply just need the space. Overall this car is simply indescribable and I can’t wait to go to a dealer and test-drive one of these things for myself.
