2008 Lexus Is on 2040-cars
North Sandwich, New Hampshire, United States
For more pictures email at: leenalvvanaria@clubrenault.net .
For sale is my 2008 Lexus ISF.
Needs nothing mechanically or cosmetically. Touchscreen and everything electronic works fine.
I can lower the asking price if you want some of the aftermarket parts removed and replaced with the OEM.
This price reflects everything on the car right now.
The ISF is rare, and considered by many a future classic and collector car.
For a Japanese luxury sports sedan nothing can touch this car other than the mighty GTR.
It is a blast to drive, and has plenty of power when needed. The car was used for marketing and as a show vehicle
for our company, driven by me the owner. Always maintained well and detailed often, garaged for the winters. Check
out the beastcoast.us feature on it.
Included Modifications (Unless you want them removed and the price dropped)
RARE Greddy Titanium Exhaust- $4,000.00 retail value
ISC N1 Coilovers- $1,288.00 retail value
Tom's and Seibon carbon fiber splitter, spoiler, hood and fenders- $3,000.00 retail value
Note: Unless noted this car comes with the OEM wheels, not the wheels in the pictures.
Any questions let me know.
Model Overview
Lexus has a well-founded reputation for building solid, quiet, reliable luxury cars that, while not dull, are by no
means adventuresome. Apparently, the company has gotten bored with the status quo and has upped the ante
considerably with the 2008 IS F.The IS F is based on the successful V6-powered IS 350, which itself is based on the
company's GS platform--a chassis designed to accommodate a V8. And that's what Lexus has taken advantage of,
inserting beneath the IS F's bulbous hood a 5.0L V8 derived from the 4.6L unit found in GS and LS models.
Internally, the unit makes use of a forged crankshaft, titanium intake valves, and aluminum cylinder heads.In this
guise, the engine puts out 416 horsepower and 371 lb-ft of torque, good to propel the car from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4
seconds, and on to a claimed top speed of 170 mph. All that power is put to the 19-inch rear wheels through an
eight-speed transmission, which can be utilized as either a fully automatic unit, or as a Sport Direct-Shift manual
with paddle shifters, which provides a seamless run through the gears. And, with its lowered stance and sport-tuned
suspension, the IS F performs just as competently in the turns as it does on the straights.Outside, the IS F
features bi-xenon HID headlights, integrated fog lamps, power mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, extended, ventilated
front fenders, quad chrome exhaust tips, a rear spoiler, and special "F" badging.Inside, the IS F sacrifices
nothing in the way of luxury. Standard features include a 13-speaker, six-disc, premium audio system, a power
moonroof, power windows and locks, a power tilt and telescopic steering wheel, and heated, leather-trimmed front
sport seats with 10-way power adjustability. Accents in aluminum and blue with "F" badging highlight the
cabin.Seven optional packages are available, and each includes DVD navigation and a Mark Levinson Premium audio
system, plus amenities like Intuitive Parking Assist, satellite radio, iPod connectivity, and special trunk and
cargo features.Standard safety features include multiple front and side air bags, electronic traction and stability
controls, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, and an anti-theft system. A pre-collision radar system is optional.The 2008
Lexus IS F returns 16 mpg city / 23 mpg highway.

TMG Lexus LS Sports 650 destined for production after 2015?
Fri, 01 Nov 2013There's little question that Lexus has succeeded in challenging its German rivals in the luxury marketplace. And with the LFA, it has proven that Japan can build a world-class supercar. What's left blank is the space in between.
Toyota Motorsport GmbH came up with a compelling answer in the form of the Sports 650 prototype, a Lexus LS with a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 641 horsepower and other go-fast components to challenge the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG and Audi S8. Toyota boss Akio Toyoda was reportedly so impressed with the project that he initially ordered TMG to build ten examples - one for him and each of his nine best friends. But since the model on which the project was based has since been replaced, questions remain over the project's fate.
Georg Kacher - European correspondent for Automobile and Car magazines - recently drove the prototype and reports that "the project will now likely be transferred to the new model out in 2015." That could come down purely to speculation, but Kacher tends to get the inside line on industry news, so this particular bowl of gossip soup might not requite the usual grain of salt we otherwise might add.
Chris Harris flogs the Lexus RC F
Fri, Feb 20 2015Chris Harris went to the Monticello race track in New York to sample the Lexus RC F, and, to be honest, he had to figure out how to love it on a circuit. Smitten with the luxury coupe's looks and cabin and naturally-aspirated V8 before taking the driver's seat, Harris found that four laps on track exposed its Achilles' heel: mass. Harris quoted the weight of his car at 1,860 kilograms, or 4,092 pounds, which is about one junior varsity athlete beyond the 3,958-pound curb weight of the coupe we drove. The 478 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque couldn't stoke the hustle Harris wanted, removing all the easy friskiness expected from the coveted FR setup, and leading to quick brake fade. He made note of the Lexus' lack of torque compared to the BMW M4, but in truth the RC F is only 15 lb-ft shy of its Munich nemesis. It is, however, at least 400 pounds heavier. On public roads, though, it's a different story. When not being pushed to prove itself in tight spaces, Harris thinks the Lexus is still a "curious blend of things," but a GT whose noise, styling and non-Germanness mean that it "certainly has a place," and might just take time to grow into.

This is what a Lexus RC-based 'four-door coupe' might look like
Mon, 02 Jun 2014It feels like there is a secret law in Germany mandating that every domestic automaker there must offer at least one model with a four-door coupe bodystyle like the BMW Gran Coupes, Mercedes-Benz CLS and Audi A7. Several of the German brands even have the swoopy sedans in multiple sizes. So far, Lexus has stayed out of that fray, but maybe not for long, if a recently spotted test car makes it to market.
The brand is known to be testing a highly styled four-door coupe, roughly the size of the GS, under heavy camouflage. Little is known about the new model at the moment, but its existence makes sense. If it really wants to take the on Germans, Lexus is going to have to fight them toe-to-toe with competing models - especially with ones understood to have high margins.
Pictured above is a rendering from artist Theophilus Chin imagining a slightly smaller take on the genre based on the RC coupe, which he calls the RC GT. His design leaves the original shape almost untouched, but shortens the front doors to allow room for a rear doors under the arching roof. His GT would be aimed more against the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe and rumored Mercedes-Benz C-Class four-door coupe, rather than the larger models Lexus actually appears to be targeting with its vehicle under development. His concept certainly nails the look, though, and while it might not have a basis in reality, we thought that it's well-resolved enough that you'd want to take a look, if only as a "what could've been" flight of fancy.
