Lexus IS F - Pictures

The IS-F is going to compete with the likes of the BMW M3, Jaguar XFR and Audi S4.

The styling differances between the standard IS and the IS-F are subtle, the IS-F get wider arches and a bulging bonnet to accomodate for the large V8 engine. 

Inside theres not much difference between the standard car, besides some leather and suede seats and a few F badges. 

The interior does get the usual Lexus kit such as sat-nav. 

The front seats are mounted quite high and taller drivers may struggle for head room. 

The Lexus is equipped with a 5.0-litre V8 engine which produces more than enough power to compete with it's rivals, although the IS-F isn't as composed as a M3 in the corner's. 

The engine is coupled to a 8-speed gearbox with paddleshift's, which changes through the gears smoothly. 

The customer should worry about reliabilty as Lexus has a excellent record on reliabilty.
