| Straße Test |
Introduced in 2008, the Lexus IS-F is a high-performance version of the IS sport sedan. It was the first production model to wear the brand’s "F" designation, heralding more exclusive vehicles offering track-ready performance.
The attractive IS-F features a more aggressive grille with lower vents to enhance engine breathing and matching vents for brake cooling, while flared wheel arches house the oversized tires needed to pump all that extra power to the pavement. Some of the add-ons to the 2009 Lexus IS-F sedan’s exterior appear unrefined, but the interior is flawless; a console covered in aluminum-look trim splits four bucket seats. Backseats, however, don’t provide enough head- or legroom.
