Lexus IS-F review
The Germans have long dominated the V8 super saloon sector, and with 4-door and cabrio models of the new BMW M3 and the Mercedes C63 AMG landing next year this would seem set to continue. But here comes Lexus, presenting its newest model, the IS-F. The new model doesn’t look wild, with its Fast And The Furious body-kit and quirky, vertically stacked exhausts. With an 8-speed automatic gearbox, with a locking torque converter for faster shifting and a 5-litre 417bhp V8 engine it certainly has the firepower, too. Can it really surpass the M3 and C63? It looks good and is just what Lexus needs to inject some spark into the brand. Do you like it?
