Lexus IS250 F-SPORT

Lexus has been working overtime to overcome its stodgy image. While the two generations of the IS sedan have lured enthusiasts to the brand, Toyota's luxury division knew it needed to up the excitement factor if it really wanted to compete with the likes of BMW. First came the V-8-powered IS-F - the first Japanese luxury sedan with the cojones to compete with rides like the M3 and RS4. But not every wannabe Lexus owner can afford the car's $60K price tag, and Lexus wants to make sure that a broader range of consumer can enjoy the company's new dedication to sport tuning.

So Lexus introduced its line of F-Sport performance accessories at the 2007 SEMA show in Las Vegas. Think of F-Sport as Lexus' version of TRD or Nismo: factory-engineered products designed to enhance performance while maintaining factory-levels of reliability.

This F SPORT package just improves the excellent car it already is.

Its what the japanese are for,

Quality reliabilty and engineering

and then to tope it all off

use their expertise in modifiying the cars.

Remember the SUPRA, Mitsubishi 3000gt

those were the cars that gave JAPAN its name.

F stands for Fuji. Thats what I heard from Lexus (IS F)

@PzownedProductions The 2ZZ-GE probably wouldn't have been "refined" enough for a Lexus...even if it's the baby.

@Caseybat94 there is a is350 for that with 306hp and 277tq no stick shift tho but quick as shit off the line ppl launching them in high 4's to 60mph

All those "performance" upgrades and it still sucks. Come on Toyota, 204CHP out of a 2.5L V6? Should have just thrown a 2ZZ-GE in the damn thing.
