Leaping Lexus: New Lexus IS 350C F-Sport @ the Track

[SmilesNFun]

i like the part where he weaved thru the cones

[therealWTFproduction]

@wolfmotha77 haha poser? how so.

[Cluberda]

@wolfmotha77 Only problem with a IS-F is that it isn't a convertible...

[subzero92MK]

absolutely awesome!how much is it?

[therealWTFproduction]

@subzero92MK The one I bought was 58k. Like half what I payed for my Is-f. And personally I like the f sport 350c better.

[subzero92MK]

@therealWTFproduction 58k usd?

[therealWTFproduction]

@subzero92MK My isf?!?! No it was 74k. But if your talking about the 350c I got mine for 54k but I buy a lot from keys so they got me a discount. But yes USD

[subzero92MK]

@therealWTFproduction mmm so it's something like 45k €

[therealWTFproduction]

@subzero92MK yes

[subzero92MK]

@therealWTFproduction it's the same price as a mercedes

[therealWTFproduction]

@subzero92MK Really?

[subzero92MK]

@therealWTFproduction yep, a new E class costs around 40k €

[ambientflier]

Heh, this thing is actually slower than their test of the G37 Convertible...

[mbciptr]

I think they took it too far... they brought the sportcross is a few years back and that didn't attract too much attention and now the same thing with their convt. looks way out of proportion in the back...

[alightning22]

What's with the squeaky breaks at 1:06 - 1:12 on a $ 50,000 Lexus?? A bit sad!

[AliGhanizad]

@alightning22 , if i buy this car and my car has that sound when its new i would force them to have a recall on it, lol. Sucks to be a 50k car and still squek like an old car. shittttttttttttt

[jojo0827]

@alightning22 my car has SUPER squeaky brakes when its cold... it IS sad :( wah.

[therealWTFproduction]

@alightning22 It's normal for high performance brakes to squeak rarely.

[IDKWHOITWAS55]

wow... these videos actually seem better without the annoying Narrator.

[mbs240]

does anyone else realize how the exhaust is twice as loud as the engine? it sounds like a ricer. when it's going slow it sounds like the engine is in full rev. why would they do that to a car that has a nice engine sound.

[mrjost55]

what are you talking about....the exhaust is part of the engine, unless you're saying that it's a fake sound

[mbs240]

yes thats what i'm saying. it has an exhaust that's louder than the engine.

[eddyyan913]

the turbo just kicked in

[nfusco618]

Not too bad considering it's a heavy hardtop 'vert.

[sspope]

Squeaky breaks? On a new Lexus? Ouch...

[mak450]

those were some awful looking launches...even by edmunds standards...

[lordvs666]

what the F*ck lexus, my suv can do better then that! lol

[Atheismrulez]

No, it can't.

[lordvs666]

Grand Cherokee srt8? Really, maybe you should drive that high price slow shit.

[tranceme24]

Is it me or is that a lot of body roll... looks sexy tho

[Domman56]

the Coupe is slower than the regular IS350 Sedan? that doesn't make any kind of sense

[abm89]

it is a convertible, so i bet it has a lot of extra weight.

[weed46]

It makes because this this kind of cars, because are convertible, they are more heavy and have less body rigity than the closed models like the sedan.

[Domman56]

it would if you were talkin coupe to convertibl but this is a sedan vs a 2 door convertible. So the weight should be aroun the same. Plus the Convertible has the F-Sport accesories which should make it a little quicker

[weed46]

It isn't the same

Lexus IS350 sedan - 1599kg

Lexus IS350 convertible - 1760kg

[Vietplaya1987]

Epic Fail from Toyota. This is a perfect car for someone dont care about cars or dont know anything about cars.

[BlackTransAmdude]

Is the F-sport new? Because i never heard of it. If it isn't new than DAMN em i late?

[shoelover10]

sorry, I will never buy any lexus or toyota product! IMO, they are pos!

[Bugatti252mph]

The problem is that most Americans think that toyotas are sent from God

[shoelover10]

I know. I'm not saying that I hate Asian brands at all, but when it comes to Toyota products, they can all be crushed and I wouldn't shed a tear.

[Bugatti252mph]

I would lobby for a national holiday if that were to happen. Crush a Toyota Day

[cody07217342]

is it convertable???

cuz i think its a good looking lexus

but no thanks on the convertable

[EmsiGemsi]

It's a convertable, it says so in the description.

[TurboVoiture2000]

Squeaky brakes? Car sounds very nice!

[EnigmaNZ1]

The backend was all over the place on the slalom. Never seen a car bounce around so much.

[AlexRmF]

the car looks ok, and I think it's one of those rare cases when a car looks better in real life than it does on film

[nofear24t]

Its ugly as hell and slow as hell and cannot handle at all..... BMW 335i convet all the way

[L3XIS250]

@nofear24t

lol. the IS is meant to be owned as a sedan. the C is for women. put an IS350 up to a 335i sedan and it wins in looks, power, and with the F sport accessories it will handle better than the 335i sedan. It may not FEEL as connected to the road, but it will outperform.

[Storvick1011]

335i would rape that car

[nofear24t]

@L3XIS250 Hahaha obviously you are biased toward lexus so arguing with you would be a waste of time. But the only way the 350 beats the 335i is on paper and that is because lexus pumps up their stats and that is a known fact from history.

[aieljose]

it's funny u say that cause the 335i has almost identical slalom and skidpad numbers.

[nofear24t]

@aieljose But look at that body roll it is horrible especially since this has the F package. Lets see this v. the M package on a 335i vert. Lexus cannot compete with BMW no matter how hard they try.

[Scarfaceweedman]

wipe your mouth off, you're talking shit!

[nofear24t]

@Scarfaceweedman Truth hurts!!!

[jpc0401]

i think lexus should put better brakes.....

[zuneluvr]

were the breaks squeaking during the test!?!?!

[Howie262]

Not bad, but why buy this over your rival BMW, Mercedes, or Audi??

this is actualy more expensive then some of those choices....

Either 3 get better prefromance, are sexier, and have hundred year old heratages......

lexus is what like 20 years old..... :/

no affence, but this does look terrible, i mean it looks like the car has some sort of desease... or somthing...

imagine picking up a date in this...... XD

or i should say.... Last date ;).

[jdmman007]

good sound but looks like their has body roll on the skippad , also brake noise is a unacceptable problem

[J4AProductions]

insideline you should do motorcycle vids

[ivanlai0225]

looks stupid

[jasonbadler]

i like it

[mp5wes]

at 0:05 and 0:14-0:16, man, the driver must love hitting cones all the time. looks nice, but ive seen how the trunk looks like with the top down and its very small

[geedunk13]

sounds good

[Caseybat94]

why are lexuses so slow????? except the lfa, but like the is250 fsport is350...all so slow!!!

[SKStylez]

not a bad sound

[ndyt]

good numbers but plain and unattractive.

[tommybrown2068]

@ndyt ..exactly..they could have done more with the design. Lacks direction.

[wence80]

I could beat it in a genesis coupe...! uhh that is a Hyundai!

[filipinofantasy]

squeaky brakes

[Kevinkim7]

ill take the bmw 335i convertible

[TheSnowMiser111]

306 hp in a V6? That is some impressive engineering. Nice going lexus.

[biglandfarm]

take a look at a subaru wrx sti, its a 4 cylinder boxer engine....300+ horsepower.

[wnnarace]

well it is turbo

[flippytunes]

yeah but that engine is turbo charged...

[sspope]

It also has a turbolag about as huge as Fuji.

[sengsiang]

@sspope turbolag? lol. idiot. lexus has not turbo cars. only ur dog has turbo

[bennychan723]

its a joke.....u dont get it....????

[sspope]

Also, don't forget to check the comment I'm replying to, you completely retarded moron.

Merry Christmas

[anthony6151]

Not really. Nissan's VQ37 makes more than 330hp and it's a V6.

[sterlingnobles]

The NISMO 370z makes 350 hp from the VQ37 engine!

[sspope]

That's nothing special these days.

[bootsmonster22]

0 to 60 time... not impressed.

[sTeadFasT96]

Mind you it is indeed a hardtop convertible.

[letascreatures]

heard that brake noise when? the brake pads have to be replaced even if they were new, because some "expert" did overbrake. You can't ..or better said you shouldn't try full stop from 60mph if you don't have to with brake pads that ain't at least 500 miles in use.

[NigguhJason]

The quarter mile is pretty good considering this is a heavy convertible. Hard top convertible too. Also it sounds throaty for a V6 because of the F-Sport exhaust system. Those aren't the stock ones you get with the IS350C.

[maserati199]

That sound is pretty damn good for a V6

[suprahmed]

nice throaty sound of the V6, i wish they made a coupe tho..

[mhd86]

it seems very sluggish, the sound is not bad though.

[thebossisheretostay]

knoc 0.9 second off the 0-60 and it would be competitive

[adogg619]

It looks like 2 door vehicles are going to make a comeback.

[zootoo63]

quite*

[quatlen]

yes, thank you.

[gasfgiop]

is that a V6 I'm hearing?

[kaystarRAW]

@gasfgiop all is350's are v6

[gasfgiop]

good to know :)

[GlockNinja]

The hip and ass look like a 80's Toyota Celica. The front looks like a cheap Hyiandai. I hope its priced like it. Because I wouldn't spend luxury sports price for it.

[barbuniya]

they realy srart to go hard..

[siamiam]

pretty good numbers, id love to see lexus make it a non drop top coupe version of the IS-x series

[imking7]

dumbass how much is the total

[CJAEY]

Its pretty quick...

Just kind of funky looking, easily would take a sedan over the convertible but thats just ME

[imking7]

tru

[DavidWood17]

sounds good, but numbers arnt worth the pay. get a bmw 3 w/ magnaflow and basicall the same thing haha

[rudolphna54]

Squealy brakes. Haha toyota quality.

[juutuub0]

major wobble in slalom but sounds great.

[imking7]

so slow comared to a m3 m3 is 4.4 this 5.6 price might be differENT you dont know

[Mikedelike]

true man, i like the m3 much better and i think its much faster

[carsaregood911]

It IS much faster, but remember this is just an IS350 C which is in competition with the 335i. If there were as IS-F C that would be compared to the M3.

[88Mitsuomi88]

did you happen to know that this is not a 5,6 litre? its a 3,5l V6, so no shit sherlock its slower than the bimmer....

[RyanEnterprise]

These Lexus IS350's are able to achieve 4.5. Give me a break. Look online and see some of the proof. The IS-F is the full blown deal, but IS350's can achieve similar #'s.

[Mike117]

the m3 is a 4.0 and this is a 3.5 liter v6 dumbshit

[MarkModern]

Ininiti G37 wanna be

[Mike117]

who would want to be like a G37? ew

[exoticcar2009]

Wow does it in the same time as the untuned, all stock 2007-2010 Toyota Camry V6. I would've expected better performance figures

[WTCHME]

Yeah REALLY slow car... The only reason it handles somewhat decently is because this has the F-Sport package.. Imagine its results without the fancy tyres and suspension?

[eknito007]

Not bad...

[triplebat]

sick car

[BEEMERFAN79]

Man that engine sounds good.

[qwertss]

Sounds great!
