Interior[]

The interior is similar to the regular IS, but adds carbon fiber panels, F-badging, blue stitching, and a different white interior color is available. The gauges are also modified.

Criticisms[]

The exterior appearance of the IS-F has drawn some criticism from some reviewers.

  • "It's gearbox, the 8 speed Automatic, that's too many so it has a habit of changing its mind all the time. (Imitates, engine note through the changing of random gears)" Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear

Worldwide[]

The Lexus I S-F is expected to go on sale in Japan, Europe, North America, Australia, and parts of Asia and the Middle East.

Design quirks and oddities[]

The sloped bulge on the hood is to accomodate the larger 5.0L V8 engine.

In the UK, a handful of IS-Fs are used as police interceptors for the Humberside Police.
