According to the Japanese car magazine “Best Car”, Lexus is working on a possible upgrade to their IS-F (our review here :
Lexus IS-F, Road and Track Test Drive. A bit like Nissan with its GT-R Spec V, the IS-F Evo will work to tweak the "Best Car" announced 435hp, including overall performance and weight reduction. "Best Car" also stated the IS-F Evo will also feature carbon fiber parts to reduce weight to approximately 140kg.
Not as excited as an M3, the IS-F has however some good potential, and we welcome a move like this from Toyota… Now if only they would get rid of their horrible gear box with a mind of its own on their New IS-F Evo, they would make my day!
