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.

Lexus planning a hydrogen fuel-cell LS by 2017
Sun, Jan 4 2015Toyota's Fuel Cell System will certainly migrate to other vehicles in the carmaker's lineup, but Australian car site Motoring reports that one of the models at the head of the queue is the Lexus LS. According to its sources, the executive barge powered by hydrogen will be released by 2017 and take the top spot in the range, rolling in above the LS Hybrid. We're told that Toyota engineers will find a way to slide two hydrogen tanks into its bodywork with the same general setup as on the Mirai – one under the rear seats and another under the rear parcel shelf. The 150-kW fuel cell stack will be placed under the front seats. Motoring says the resulting sedan and its 220-kW electric motor would come in "at around 2,100 kg," which is 4,620 pounds; that's a ginormous 539 pounds less than the listed curb weight of the current LS Hybrid, and 387 pounds more than the standard LS. Assuming all goes as planned, it would have a range of roughly 238 miles, a few dozens less than the Mirai's range of about 300 miles. It would look slightly different, too, the front end getting larger intakes to cool the power unit. It wouldn't surprise us if Lexus does have a hydrogen LS planned – it would be a statement car, and the company likes making statements, even if few heed them; it has stuck with its LS 600h for the past seven years, yet of the 7,539 LS models sold through the end of November this year, only 61 of them were hybrids. The timing would be intriguing, however; by the time the LS hybrid came out, Lexus had already worked over its filet-and-potatoes models. And if the hydrogen version is going to come in above the $120,440 hybrid, well, that will be a statement indeed.
Lexus RC media event in Japan canceled over lack of interest
Fri, 07 Nov 2014It's a good thing senior editor Seyth Miersma doesn't live in Japan, or he wouldn't have been able to snap a photo like the one you see here, of a fresh-off-the-line Lexus RC F on hand at a first drive for media. That's because Toyota's Japanese arm has outright canceled its RC press launch. Sure, we've heard about events being delayed, but canceled? That's rare. Even worse is the reason: according to Automotive News, the event was nixed due to lack of interest. Wow.
In an email to media, Lexus said the event "has been canceled due to insufficient attendance," according to AN. The News posits that perhaps it would have just been better to hold the event anyway, in an attempt to save face, and that this is another example of the Japanese culture (especially youth) becoming less and less interested in cars. Of course, there's also the thought that local media just didn't want to drive out to Yokohama to drive the RC on a not-so-sexy press launch, which, if you ask us, is an incredibly lame excuse (do your jobs, folks!).
Either way, will this bode well for the Lexus RC's public launch? Will it receive the same lukewarm response when it arrives at Japanese dealers? We'll see.
Lexus asks fans to help name new orange shade for RC F
Thu, 08 May 2014Flip through the catalog for most Lexus models and you're bound to see an array of different shades of beige and gray. But even Lexus has its wilder side, denoted by the letter F, and those models can wear brighter hues.
The IS F, for example, offered an electric shade of blue which Lexus called Ultrasonic and a deep red called Matador, along with the usual silver, gray, white and black. But for the new RC F, Lexus is preparing to offer an even more vibrant shade of orange. It just doesn't know what to call it. That's why it's asking fans on Facebook to help it name the color - similar to the crowd-sourcing SRT did for the Viper's bright blue and Chevy did for the Volt's pale green.
Top suggestions currently include Tangerine Flame, Solar Flare, Outrageous Orange and Fiery Orange. Given how similar the shade looks to that which adorned the track-tuned LFA with the Nürburgring package, we can't help but wonder if LFA Blaze or Nordschleife Blur might not be more suitable. Or, if we're being honest, McLaren Orange or Arancia Borealis... though we know some guys in Woking and Sant'Agata Bolognese who might object.
