All 2010 Lexus IS F models are powered by a specially designed and carefully tuned five-litre, 32 valve V8 that delivers 416 peak horsepower and up to 371 lb-ft of torque. The heart of the beast is coupled to a slick eight-speed sport direct shift transmission with metal plated paddle shifters that features the fastest shift times allowed on a street-legal production car.
But power is no use unless it can be harnessed. A complete array of handling and control technologies and systems ensure that the Beast is no brute. These include highly responsive electric progressive rate power steering, a specially designed, anti-dive and anti-squat front suspension, the Sport Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management system (Sport VDIM) specially tuned to the IS F, Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, and a full suite of braking technologies – from the power assisted antilock braking system with Brake Assist and Electronic Brake Force Distribution to BREMBO high friction brake pads acting on massive 14.2” front and 13.6” rear disc brakes with drilled rotors.
