For Lexus, the ISF represents a daring, powerful change. one that includes upshifting that approaches the speeds of professional racing, a 0-to-60 sprint in 4.6 seconds2,3 and an advanced 5.0-liter V8. It all began with a “skunk works” team of speed-obsessed engineers working outside the usual Lexus corporate structure. the vehicle was developed with Yamaha,® and to ensure the ISF would perform superbly, exceptional suppliers such as Brembo® and BBs® provided parts. The goal was to produce the fastest and most powerful Lexus ever. Did they succeed? We’ll let the results speak for themselves: a scorching top track speed of 170 mph.2,3 Massive 14.2–inch front disc brakes4 with six–piston calipers and 13.6-inch rear disc brakes with two-piston calipers that grip with Herculean strength. And an engine that—at above 3,600 rpm—greedily inhales air through a large secondary intake to unleash horsepower and create a satisfying engine roar. some might say that’s the sound of a shifting paradigm. our proud engineers couldn’t agree more.
