Created in 2007 as a dedicated factory tuner sedan, the Lexus IS F is high-caliber in both performance and luxury. Dressed up with 19-inch forged aluminum wheels by BBS, Brembo brakes, dual chrome-tipped exhaust and special "F” badging, the 2011 Lexus IS F outer sports bravado is coupled with more radical bodywork. Inside of the 2011 IS F, aluminum pedals and hard-finished aluminized composite trim surrounds perforated leather seating with optional Alcantara inserts. New for 2011, a two-tone orange and black interior scheme can be matched with one of six exterior colors of the Lexus IS F. High technology equipment found as standard features on the 2011 Lexus IS F includes a 13-speaker premium audio system, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free phone as well as MP3 players, HomeLink transceiver and SmartAccess key-free entry and start. Among the most noteworthy item in the 2011 Lexus IS F is the 342 horsepower, 5-liter V-8 engine connected through an 8-speed automatic transmission. A TORSEN limited-slip differential was added last year to the IS F for effective performance grip. Zero to sixty mile per hour acceleration for the 2011 Lexus IS F is slated at 4.6 seconds.
