An F logo, located on each front fender of the Roadster, indicates the vehicles status as a part of the new F marque. The name is derived from the original F designation for the first Lexus LS prototype. That vehicle was internally coded Circle-F, with the F standing for flagship. The Circle-F designation further evolved into the code name Flagship One, or F1, and the first F1 concept developed into Lexus first vehicle, the LS. Since then, the F code has come to signify a special vehicle program within Lexus that falls outside the normal engineering and development process. In addition, Fuji Speedway is the IS Fs home circuit, and the shape of the F-logo was inspired by many of the tracks turns. The all-new Lexus IS F sport sedan is the first production vehicle to carry the F marque.

The rear is marked by a pair of wrap-around, arrowhead-shaped taillights that bracket a pair of large grilles. These grilles vent the heated air from the cars two rear-mounted radiators into the LF-A Roadsters aerodynamic wake. The radiators are fed cool air by two large intake ducts mounted just above the rear wheel wells. This aft radiator positioning not only allowed the designers to keep the cars front profile low and tight but also aided the LF-As chassis engineers in their search for optimal weight distribution.

Helping to provide balance and scale to the design, which features an overall length of 175.6 inches and a wheelbase of 102.6 inches, are high-performance tires on turbine-styled alloy wheels. The front tires are 265/35R20s, while the rears are 305/30R20s. Like the LF-A coupe, the brakes consist of 14.2-inch cross-drilled, vented discs up front, and 13.6-inch cross-drilled, vented discs at the rear. The front brake calipers are six-piston units and the rear calipers use four pistons each.
