Lexus IS-F, Road and Track Test Drive
Lexus, as the premium car manufacturer of giant Toyota has always been chasing down the big dogs of the automotive market, especially those three coming from Germany that the whole world knows and respects. In 2005, Lexus brought a new “IS” to the table, rocking a new design and mechanical parts to go against the BMW 3 series and the likes…the IS250 and IS350 proved to be excellent cars but something was still missing…a high performance version to compete with the M3 or C63 AMG from Mercedes Benz. Lexus has finally done it and their car is the IS-F.

***UPDATE*** Now the review includes a 8 Minutes Video on Road and Track at the Fuji SpeedWay, Enjoy

Lexus IS-F, Road and Track Test Drive, text and video review HERE.

I saw one the other day and did not like the fake exhaust tips.

Well those vertical exhaust tailpipes are now getting quite famous with a lot of other high performance car manufacturers namely - the new Ferrari California GT and the next-gen Acura/Honda NSX having just applied them to their cars.
Lexus has done a great job on the IS-F, a very convincing alternative to it's Euro-counterparts.
Especially like the subtle aggressive stance and those gun-metal alloy wheels.
