Fuji Speedway has one of the longest straights in motorsports. At the end of this straight, "Turn 1" can only be negotiated after massive deceleration—which made Fuji the ideal location to test the IS F's brakes to the limit. The result is a Brembo® braking system specifically crafted for the hungry IS F.
At the heart of the IS F is an exclusive, naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 engine that combines the thrilling sports performance you expect from an “F” model with the qualities of a premiumcar.When it comes to delivering heart-stopping performance the 416 HP from the IS F's 5.0-liter V8 enginedelivers a 0-to-60 time of just 4.6 seconds. It's engineered to enhance high-rpm breathing, so while the driver gets a crunch of power down low, it also keeps building as revs rise, for a sense of unlimited acceleration that can't be measured in numbers.
The ISC300 features VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management), an advanced integrated control system that combines sophisticated active safety functions with optimized stability and control, as standard for all models. VDIM integrates operation of system such as TRC (Traction Control System), and ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) with EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) which normally operate independently. In addition, it consolidates control of the EPS (Electric Power Steering).
The lightweight aluminum roof is opened and closed by operating a single switch. The smooth series of movements, which requires only a short time to complete, is even artistic in its beauty.The status of the hardtop is indicated on the multi-information display, allowing you to verify the completion of operation from the driver’s seat. In addition, the hardtop interlinks with theLexus parking assist sensor, which detects obstacles near the vehicle, to help assure safety during opening and closing.
Lexus focuses on developing basic performance so that drivers can enjoy the feeling of being at one with the vehicle. Our engineers optimized the body’s overall rigidity balance, taking into account the vehicles characteristics as a convertible. In addition to the extensive use of high tensile steel sheeting for cross members and other structural elements, the IS300C delivers exceptional torsional rigidity and light weight through innovations such as effective placement of floor braces to increase coupling rigidity and a thick rocker structure.
The 3.0 litre V6 engine and super intelligent 6-speed automatic transmission incorporate numerous state-of-the-art Lexus technologies to create imposing power and smooth, sharp acceleration. Just touch the accelerator, and your intentions combine with the car’s natural response and handling to foster instantaneous driving pleasure.
Incorporating an electronically-controlled Active Torque Control AWD (All Wheel Drive) system, it not only provides excellent off-road driveability, but also sporty and stable on-road driving performance. Fuel-efficient front-wheeldrive is used during normal driving. When starting or accelerating, and whendriving on slippery road surfaces, the system optimally distributes torque to the rear wheels according to the status of the vehicle.
Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and meticulous tuning, the RX350’s 3.5-liter V6 engine features easy handling in the low-speed range and an unconstrained acceleration feel in the high-speed range. The super intelligent 6-speed automatic transmission <6 Super ECT (Electronic Controlled Transmission)> not only delivers smooth starting and acceleration performance,but also contributes to the excellent fuel economy, contributing to the excellent driving performance and showcasing Lexus’s distinctive power and smoothness under various conditions.
To inspire unconstrained confident driving and provide easy access to the exceptional driving pleasure, it features VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management), an advanced integrated control system that combines sophisticated active safety functions with optimized stability and control. VDIM integrates operation of systems such as TRC (Traction Control System), VSC (Vehicle Stability Control), and ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) with EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) which normally operate independently. In addition, it consolidates control of the EPS (Electric Power Steering).
It integrates control of multiple systems so you can tune the performance of the IS to suit your driving style. Selecting Eco Mode changes the engine output, throttle control and air conditioning characteristics required for fuel-efficient eco-driving. Sport/Sport S Mode refines the powertrain settings and amount of EPS (Electric Power Steering) steering assist for excellent acceleration and sports steering feel. In addition, Sport S+ Mode refines the powertrain and chassis settings for dynamic sports driving.
