The new IS features an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) option that distributes power as needed to all four corners. The aerodynamic design of the IS slices through air and wind with one of the lowest drag coefficients in its class. The result is enhanced high-speed ride quality, improved fuel economy, and reduced wind noise. Standard leather trim inside the IS cabin is no exception. The IS comes with a soft, leather-trimmed interior. Other standard features include a leather-trimmed shift knob and steering wheel with built-in audio controls, as well as a center console with sliding armrest, storage bin and accessory outlet. You also have a choice of available golden brown or dark gray bird's-eye maple wood trim.

?Everything about the IS starts from within—at the power plant. It’s why Lexus pored over every millimeter of the engine—tuning, refining even inventing technology to build a vehicle for speed. Case in point: crankshafts and connecting rods. In racing, they’re nearly always made of forged metal. It’s more expensive, but it makes engines stronger and lighter than conventional castings, allowing them to rev faster and withstand the stress and challenges of the track. Ordinary production vehicles don’t need forged metal. But the IS Line is far from ordinary. The IS F, in fact, is the fastest production vehicle we’ve ever built, and it features a forged metal crankshaft, connecting rods and other racing technologies. Forged aluminum wheels, a high-compression aluminum engine and lightweight titanium intake valves just add to the list. Go ahead. Put it in gear and push it to 60. You’ll understand what we’re talking about in exactly 4.6 seconds.

One of the easiest ways to take stock of a vehicle is to measure acceleration. And in the case of the IS , it’s one of the fastest ways. The IS 350 puts its 306 horsepower1 to work racing from 0 to 60 in just 5.6 seconds.1,2 And the ISF , with explosive 416 horsepower,1 rockets to 60 in a blistering 4.6.1,2 Beyond sheer speed, all the IS 350 and IS 250 vehicles benefit from dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence. This system continuously monitors both the engine’s speed and load and then responds by delivering fuel efficiency and
optimum performance over its entire operating range. For example, the torque is increased at lower speeds for stronger thrust. And the power is amplified at higher speeds for better
acceleration. By making the IS engine more intelligent, and even lowering exhaust emissions, the vehicle becomes more efficient—as well as more powerful.

To grab the attention of performance purists, we not only built a vehicle steeped in racing technology, we truly put it to the test. From Europe to Asia to North America, the entire IS Line challenged many of the world’s most heralded tracks. The IS’s successful testing trials, for example, were held in Germany. And the IS F, through extensive travel and research, became the most thoroughly track-tested production Lexus ever. The IS F’s logo is even inspired by Turn 1 of Japan’s punishing Fuji Speedway. Clearly, the IS is about to change what a luxury car is capable of.
