Reviews

"The car is, quite simply, a monster: Acceleration is brutal, the brakes are wicked-strong, and handling grip is immense..."—Motor Trend²

"The IS-F misses the marque; it’s a sort of designer-label STI, or an Evo’s dandy city cousin. Get kaizening on this one, Lexus. Otherwise that “F” may come to stand for… nothing much."³

"A 5.0-liter, 416-hp V-8 readily paints two stripes of rubber and runs down M3s. Handling is also sharper. The first Lexus to run low-four-second 0-60 times definitely isn't boring."⁴
