Lexus IS F Evolution

According to recent reports, Lexus, in the relentless pursuit of perfection, has found itself trying to create a better Lexus IS F. Speculation is the IS F Evolution will arrive as early as next summer. .

While details on the Evolution have yet to be confirmed, Lexus is trying to push for weight reductions and improved handling. 7Tune magazine is quoting that the IS F will use carbon fiber galore to shed close to 300 pounds, dropping the car’s total weight to 3,400 pounds.For performance, the number floating around is 433 HP. corners.

500 models are set to make it to production but with a price tag of around $250,000 USD I doubt I’ll be seeing any in my hood.

    Perhaps a link to 7TUNE would be polite as well simply mentioning them. You’ve already cropped their logo off the image they took the time to scan.

    It might not be their artwork, but you wouldn’t have it without their efforts – nor would you have the translated news.
