Guys, dont be fooled by the 8 speed tranny, in sport mode, and with hard driving, if the computer "senses" a heavy foot and plenty of steering input, it only lets you use 6. The 8th speed is for housewives not to kill themselves when they accidentally floor it, it's a means of making that 5.0 V8 more docile for everyday use. Just one of the things that makes it brilliant. I wont swop mine for anything but an LFA, or a GTR, seeing as I will never afford the LFA....:-)
Oh my God. After the AMG v8's this is the one of the best noises i've ever heard. Yamaha really pulled it off in this AND in the LF-A. These guys know what they're doing. The one thing I don't like is the bell ringing everytime you change the f****** gear!
@Jn183 ... That's stupid on Lexus part, isn't the main reason one gets a manual transmission so that you can decide when to shift and not the computer...ugh
@Toyota4Life is like looking for something economic and luxurius plus fast =Lexus ISF looking for something luxurios fast and exiting =M3 either coupe or sedan Economic refering to the MPG
Even the $ 300,000 USD Ferrari 458 F1 style paddle shift is NOT moving along with the steering wheel like the Lexus! To me, it is a big turn off to know! and with the new Lambo LP-700 just came out. it really made the Ferrari or any Ferrari look like the sissy cars! LOL !!!
Idiots, the fact that it has 8 gears is what adds to how FAST it is. Because it has 8 gears, the gear ratios are smaller, so it shifts faster, by having this it lets the lexus stay in higher rpms and in the high horsepower powerband. When you have 6 gears for example on the same Lexus ISF, it would be slower, because each time you shift the rpm starts from a lower number, rather than being at higher rpms, like i said, it stays in the powerband much better with MORE GEARS.
Get with program the ISF isnt the only car that has more then 6 speeds on the market... and the more gears can also help give better MPG... get out the stone age.
@Toyota4Life it is not the only car with more than 6 gears on the market audi,volkswagen,skoda,SEAT,BMW,Nissan,Infiniti,Ferrari, Mercedes have models with 7 speds or more
AWESOMELY edited, but i must note that i have been sorely disappointed by Toyota/lexus' decision when it's come to making sport/fast cars again. The IS-F didn't really come close to beating the M3 (it's main contender) when it came to performance and looks (if you ask me). The LFA is a engineering marvel, yet it's price tag is an unreasonable step up from the IS-F, and performance you can buy a for 1/4 of the cost and almost* do the same. Long live the supra, if they only recreated it...
How the fuck does a 416 hp RWD, track tuned suspension, track tested braking system, one of the best paddles shifters in the business, top speed from the factory show floor at 170 mph, the best sounding V8 to ever come out of japan, TQ that pushes you hard into the seat, easily light up the tires... have no soul ?
The problem isnt the car... it has more then enough soul... YOU dont know what soul is.
Yeah great job... well done this video..! and i reaaaly enjoyed when i heard the sound of the 416 horses in the engine! And that's 1 of my favorite dashboards nice colors and lights.... In the exterior i love the chrome exhausts and the front lights... SO YES! I LIKE THIS LEXUS. OR I SHOULD SAY..... THIS IS- F !!!
@robertjdm If you dont care then why are u watching a lexus video fukin stupid piece of shit . take your overpriced german car dats not guna last a 100,000 miles n shove it up ur ass!
@xlEctacylx89 And what did I say? Don't reply to me in ebonics! And why are you looking at Lexus videos? You'll NEVER own one, you can't even speak proper english. Fucking spear chucker! Or you will get one in your moms name but live in a shit house with shit credit.
@xlEctacylx89 Sorry man I have no idea what you just said! English, not ebonics! And I drive a BMW! And I'm not American! Tosser! You're 21, you live at your moms house, you have shit credit, no way in hell you drive a 2010 GS 350. Lmfao! You suck at life, you should kill yourself!
@xlEctacylx89 Excuse me... but you are calling 3 series from bmw a pussyass? a 335is or even a 335i would SMOKE your so called GS 350. Don't mess with BMW's
Great vid, and for the most part a great car, but YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME with that god damn rev-limit beeping that can't be switched off!!!! Wow, some people at Toyota need to be murdered gangsta-style for that.
@xEffrumx GTR?..is that even in the same price range? also i think the s4 produces the least bhp out of all those cars, of course the legendary quattro system probably makes up for that...im not sure.
@LeapinAbys why aston martin or maserati.... i was just saying that brian records expensive fast as shit cars... this time he recorded a not so expensive sports car thats not that fast...
You should start doing Reviews.....you know, show the Interior, feautures, exterior, exhaust, under the hood and a test drive to top them all off. Just a suggestion.
Not worth $60K or $70K once you add all the extras and then TTL. (That's Tax, Title, and License) for those outside of the USA. I'm looking to get a BMW 335d which only has 265HP and a whopping 425ft..lbs. of torque. It's $50K and it would take this Lexus off the line due to the 100+ ft..lbs. more of torque. I'm a diesel man now.. They're clean and more fuel efficient than these V8 gas guzzlers..
I completely agree with this. Its a nice looking car but it is not worth the 60k starting price. M3>Isf. If i wanted a over priced 4 door i would get a c63 amg.
