“The IS F is incredibly fun to drive and I’ll challenge anyone to drive it and

not start smiling. It’s designed to allow drivers to safely realise their passion for
high-performance driving, whether for circuit racing or in everyday use.”

YUKIHIKO YAGUCHI, IS F CHIEF ENGINEER

It all began when a small
group of Lexus engineers,
all passionate motorsport
enthusiasts, started
discussing an idea for a
new high-performance
Lexus.

On the racetrack its performance would
push back frontiers. Yet on public roads
it could be driven as smoothly and
comfortably as every other Lexus. Inspired
by this idea, and led by Chief Engineer
Yukihiko Yaguchi, the team worked
autonomously from all other major Lexus
development programmes. By 2003 they
were able to present the IS F prototype for
examination by Lexus senior management.

Based on the award-winning IS sports
sedan, it was equipped with a powerful

5.0-litre V8 engine, state-of-the-art
8-

speed Sport Direct Shift (SPDS)

automatic

transmission, a race-tuned

suspension and

extremely powerful brakes.

The car’s

technological innovations,
stunning performance and exciting
handling

characteristics generated so

much

enthusiasm at Lexus that the project
was given the green light and the Lexus
IS F was born.

THE IS F STORY.

“F” is the new designation reserved for
Lexus cars of ultra-high performance, of
which the IS F is the first. “F” stands for
“Fuji Speedway” where the IS F was
developed and tested.

Situated in the foothills of Mount Fuji in
Japan’s Shizuoka Prefecture, Fuji Speedway
first opened as a road course in 1966.

In 1976 the track hosted the first Formula
One event ever held in Japan. In September
2007, after a major reconfiguration, Fuji
Speedway once again hosted the Japanese
Grand Prix. The circuit includes the longest
straight (1.5 km) in the Formula One
season, where extremely high speeds
can be attained.

To recognise the important role of the Fuji
Speedway in the IS F project, the new “F”
logo integrates the most demanding corners
from the racetrack in its design.

POISED TO PERFORM.

In developing the new IS F, Lexus engineers pursued phenomenal
high-speed performance, delivered through a formidable package
of advanced racetrack technology. It’s evident even when the car
is at rest. Advanced aerodynamics are there to minimise wind
resistance, allowing high-speed track performance right up to
270 km/h. For maximum “ground effect”, F1-inspired composite
underbody fairings suck the car down onto the track to enhance
traction. Massive air intakes cool the powerful V8 engine, while
side air outlet gills help remove heat from the engine bay. At the
rear, quadruple trapezoidal exhaust pipes ensure rapid dissipation
of exhaust gases and enhance engine breathing.

13

SCULPTED FOR SPEED.

Its looks are muscular, and every contour has been shaped with
speed in mind. The bodywork of the IS F was fine-tuned following
extensive wind tunnel research and testing on racetracks around
the world. The result is a car that generates the optimum downforce
without compromising its highly competitive drag coefficient,
offering exhilarating performance both on and off the track.

Though speed combined with exceptional handling was our goal,
the process of aerodynamic refinement has produced a car of
strong lines and arresting beauty. To enhance these looks, and
because it is in our nature to pursue perfection, the car is given
a deep and lustrous shine by master craftspeople who twice
wet sand the bodywork by hand.

POWERFUL, REFINED
AND EFFICIENT.
A SHORT SUMMARY
OF OUR V8 ENGINE.

In Japan, gifts of great importance and value are presented in
special envelopes. The V8 engine cover of the new IS F is modelled
on such an envelope. Beneath the V8 engine cover of the new
IS F is an exemplary expression of Lexus race engineering skills:
a new 5.0-litre engine of massive power that incorporates many
new high-performance engine technologies.

Engine: 5.0-litre V8 petrol, 32-valve, DOHC
Displacement: 4969 cm

19

V8 POWER,
PERFECTLY BALANCED.

Press the throttle of the IS F and you’ll experience an immense
surge of power. It’s produced by a 5.0-litre V8 engine that can
catapult the car from rest to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, then on
to a governed top speed of 270 km/h (where permitted).

Race-inspired technologies such as high-flow cylinder head and
titanium intake valves enable the engine to respond instantly to
your commands. Heavy-duty oil and transmission fluid coolers
enable the engine to cope with the extremely high temperatures
that are generated under high-speed driving conditions, while
a scavenger pump ensures oil circulation is maintained even under
the extreme g-forces of high-speed cornering.

Though exceptionally powerful, this hand-built V8 engine is also
very smooth. High rigidity components, the optimum balance of
all moving parts, the minimisation of friction and unprecedented
precision of assembly all contribute to an engine of remarkable
refinement and quietness.

Nothing is left to chance in the pursuit of perfection. Each V8
crankshaft is tested for spinning uniformity before assembly and,
where necessary, polished by hand to ensure it meets the most
exacting standards for running smoothness.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY.

DIRECT FUEL INJECTION

The V8 engine in the IS F features our revolutionary new Direct-injection 4-stroke
Superior-version (D-4S) twin-injector technology. To generate phenomenal performance
right up to the red line, one injector is installed in the combustion chamber and a
second in the intake port. This allows the engine to combine the strengths of both
direct and port injection, thus maximising power and torque while minimising fuel
consumption and emissions.

HIGH-FLOW INTAKE PORTS

Special high-flow intake ports allow the engine to breathe faster and more deeply.
Extensive computer modelling and racetrack testing were carried out to minimise
pressure losses on the internal surfaces of the intake ports and to maximise air intake
volume.

VARIABLE VALVE TIMING–INTELLIGENT ELECTRIC

The responsiveness and seemingly endless linear acceleration of the IS F are partly
enabled by another world first: Variable Valve Timing-intelligent Electric (VVT-iE). This
is an electrically activated variable-intake valve timing system which uses an electric
motor to drive the intake camshaft and valves. It responds much faster than conventional
hydraulic systems, and delivers vast torque and good fuel economy over a wider range
of engine speeds.

ADVANCED VALVE MATERIALS

The engine’s intake valves are machined from titanium, a metal that is widely used in
the aerospace industry on account of its strength and lightness. Titanium valves react
faster, which means a more powerful and responsive engine. Exhaust valves are made
from a nickel-rich, heat-resistant steel alloy, enabling the engine to cope with extremely
high exhaust gas temperatures.

MANUAL SHIFTS

The 8-speed Sport Direct Shift (SPDS) automatic transmission on the new IS F uses
a newly developed torque converter to provide lock-up control for almost the entire
range of gears – from 2nd to 8th gear – enabling it to deliver manual-like direct gear
shift feel. Gear hold control allows the engine to be used all the way up to the 6,800 rpm
red zone. The system achieves one of the world’s fastest automatic gearshifts, rivalling
the shifting speed of manual transmissions driven by top-class racing drivers.

8-SPEED TRANSMISSION

To deliver the V8 engine’s enormous power to the road – or racetrack – Lexus engineers
developed the world’s most advanced 8-speed transmission. Eight gears enable it
to offer a combination of close ratios and a wide range of ratios, which translates into
higher performance and better fuel efficiency. While a low first gear has been chosen
for improved acceleration, the eighth gear is high to improve fuel efficiency at high
speeds. For lightness, the transmission case is die-cast in aluminium, and the unit features
a newly developed breather system for high-speed circuit driving. To ensure smoothness
of operation even during racing gear shifts, the precision and strength of each individual
gear tooth has been maximised using advanced microlaser technology.

22

GEARED FOR
ENJOYMENT.

To harness the massive power of the 5.0-litre V8 engine, Lexus
engineers created the world’s first 8-speed Sport Direct Shift
(SPDS) automatic transmission.

Select Manual mode and use shift paddles to enjoy ultra-fast sports
performance (upshifts are completed in a one tenth of a second),
while torque converter lock-up from 2nd to 8th gear gives a
manual-like direct gear shift feeling. When downshifting, you’ll
experience the thrilling sound of the throttle automatically “blipping”
between gears to achieve faster synchronisation.

Switch to Automatic mode, and the character of the car changes
instantly. You’ll enjoy gear changes of immaculate precision, with
all the smoothness and refinement that are synonymous with a
Lexus transmission.

25

LAP OF LUXURY.

Behind the wheel of the IS F you’ll quickly discover that everything
is centred around you. Controls fall intuitively to hand and can
be operated with lightning speed. The steering wheel is electrically
adjustable in all directions and you can store the settings. Shift
paddles allow you to make ultra-fast gear changes without taking
your hands off the wheel. But if you choose to shift via the leather­covered gearshift, it is located to feel like an extension of your
own arm.

In front of you, distinctive Optitron instruments with machined
aluminium meter rings and LED indicator needles are easy to
read in almost all lighting conditions. Here you’ll find all the vital
performance data you need: revs, oil temperature, gear selected,
status of Sports VDIM and speed.

All seats have lateral support for high-speed cornering and are
upholstered in soft semi-aniline leather (it’s perforated to keep you
feeling fresh even in the most demanding conditions).

“Everything about the new IS F is fast – engine, transmission, handling,

brakes. Call on the IS F, and it will respond almost as if it’s been waiting
for you, delivering precisely the performance you want.”

YUKIHIKO YAGUCHI, IS F CHIEF ENGINEER

28

CIRCUIT TRAINING.

Developed and tuned at some of the world’s most demanding
race circuits, the chassis of the IS F is phenomenally responsive.
Indeed, it almost feels as if the car is anticipating your wishes rather
than merely responding to them.

Advanced electronic power steering is direct and linear in feel,
providing you with instant feedback from the road (you have a
choice of Sports or Normal settings). The suspension, which
features large anti-roll bars, is tuned to feel athletically taut, while
ensuring great stability even at very high speeds. At the front, fast
response springs have been used to reduce roll on fast corners
and nosedive under heavy braking. At the rear, extra stiff dampers
ensure stability when braking and accelerating.

31

SPORTS VDIM: EXPLORE YOUR LIMITS.

Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) ensures that
the enormous power of the IS F can be enjoyed smoothly and
safely, even when cornering at high speed. By integrating all the
braking, stability and traction control systems of the IS F within one
intelligent network, VDIM results in a level of intervention that’s
much more smooth and proactive than if each application had
to work independently.

For everyday driving on normal roads VDIM improves the overall
dynamic performance of the IS F and promotes smoother “on­the-limit” vehicle behaviour. On the racetrack, however, you might
want to test the car’s dynamic limits, but without sacrificing stability
in emergencies. So just select “Sports VDIM” mode. This adjusts
throttle, steering and suspension settings to provide sportier
performance, and expands the permissible range of lateral
acceleration before the VDIM system intervenes. If you’re ready
to push the IS F to the extreme of its dynamic capabilities, you can
switch VDIM off completely.

32

FOR SLOWER, FASTER.

6-PISTON BREMBO BRAKES

The corner after the world’s longest F1 straight at Fuji Speedway
was the ideal place to test the brakes on the new IS F. For sheer
braking power, large 360 mm diameter ventilated discs with
Brembo 6-piston opposed aluminium callipers were fitted to
the front, and 345 mm ventilated discs with 2-piston opposed
aluminium callipers to the rear. Capable of repeatedly applying
massive fade-free stopping power, these brakes need to withstand
extremely high temperatures. For this reason the discs have special
air ducts and drilled vents to supply the system with cooling air.

19" FORGED ALLOY WHEELS

To reduce the unsprung mass of the IS F, Lexus engineers needed
wheels that are light in weight yet strong enough to withstand the
forces of high-speed driving.

Aluminium was the obvious choice of material for lightness. But
how to ensure the necessary strength? Lexus engineers found
inspiration in the Katana, a curved sword used by the Samurai.
The wheels of the IS F are forged (rather than cast as other wheels
are) in a process that emulates the blows of a blacksmith’s hammer.
And like the Katana they combine strength with lightness. The styling
of the wheels of the IS F pays tribute to this source of inspiration.

The wheels were developed together with BBS, the Formula One
supplier, and manufactured in one of the world’s most advanced
motorsport wheel production facilities.

35

PIPE QUARTET.

The sound of an IS F doing its laps is unmistakable. At speeds over
3,600 revs, the race-tuned V8 sucks in air through a second –
larger – intake, and the engine sound modulates into an awesome
roar. Change down hard and you’ll experience the thrilling sound
of the IS F “blipping” through the gears.

The stirring exhaust note of the IS F emanates from quadruple
pipes that are seamlessly integrated into the car’s rear bumper.

36

The IS F is a new breed of Lexus. It delivers all the thrills of an
authentic high-performance vehicle, and yet it remains a Lexus
at heart, with all the refinement and sophistication that implies.

After a day of high-adrenaline excitement on the track, you can
drive the IS F home and enjoy the refined luxury that has always
been a hallmark of Lexus cars. Elegant design, refined materials
and meticulous sound engineering promote a feeling of peace
and well-being. Safety is a priority, with a wealth of advanced
features like Pre-Crash Safety, an advanced new system that helps
maximise your safety in the vital first split seconds before an
accident by tightening seatbelts and priming the brakes.

You’ll also find a smart entry and start system, electronic climate
control, sequentially illuminated LED entry lighting and Optitron
instrumentation. For your comfort and convenience, the
comprehensive standard specification of the IS F also includes:
leather upholstery; electrically adjustable, heated front seats; and
High Intensity Discharge (HID) bi-xenon headlights with Intelligent­Adaptive Front-lighting System (I-AFS).

The optional Pre-Crash Safety System (PCS) with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) uses millimetre-wave radar to detect certain objects
in front of the car. Evaluating additional inputs from sensors that
monitor vehicle speed, yaw and steering angle, it warns of an
imminent collision and supports the driver with additional braking
power when needed. To help reduce the risk of injury, front seatbelts
will automatically be retracted in the instant before impact.

A NEW BREED OF LEXUS.

“The IS F presents the opportunity for driving excitement on weekends, either on public

roads or, for enthusiasts, private racetracks. That said, it will still be an exceptionally
practical, refined, and comfortable vehicle for Monday to Friday.”

YUKIHIKO YAGUCHI, IS F CHIEF ENGINEER

39

6-PISTON BREMBO BRAKES

The IS F can accelerate very quickly. But it can stop very
quickly too, thanks to a powerful, all-new braking system
that achieves the exceptionally high braking forces required
under circuit driving conditions. The 360 mm ventilated
and drilled 6-piston front brakes and 345 mm 2-piston
rear brakes were jointly developed with Brembo, the world­class supplier of high-performance brake systems. The
system delivers excellent braking performance time after
time, even in the most extreme driving conditions.

8-SPEED PADDLE SHIFT

A special kind of power demands a special type of
transmission. The IS F introduces the world’s first production
8-speed Sport Direct Shift (SPDS) automatic transmission
which achieves upshifts in just 0.1 seconds. Gear
engagement and throttle response feel instantaneous
throughout the rev range.

SPORTS VDIM

The IS F benefits from an adjustable sports version of our
state-of-the-art Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management
(VDIM) system. This optimises the activation of braking,
steering, stability and traction control systems ensuring
seamless intervention. Drivers can choose Normal VDIM,
Sports VDIM or no VDIM, according to the degree of
driving involvement required.

RACE-INSPIRED TECHNOLOGY.

SPORTS STEERING WHEEL

The leather-covered, multi-adjustable tilt and telescopic steering
wheel gives you excellent control of the car and delivers instantaneous
feedback to your fingertips. Racing gear changes are made by
means of wheel-mounted paddles, ensuring your hands never
have to leave the wheel.

40

ERGONOMIC REFINEMENT.

PRECISION-BUILT COCKPIT

The IS F anticipates your desire for a car of breathtaking performance,
but it also anticipates that you will want to travel in style and comfort.
The same thoughtful attention to detail that’s applied to the car’s
race engineering is to be found throughout the cabin. You’ll find
storage compartments that open and close with beautiful precision
and silver-coloured woven glass-fibre inlays that have been carefully
sanded and varnished by hand for an exquisite sheen.

SEMI-ANILINE LEATHER

The semi-aniline leather of the IS F is beautifully soft. It’s also practical
for racing purposes: the material is perforated to enhance comfort.
The seats are all carefully stitched in attractive blue thread and
feature the “F” logo.

SPORTS SEATS

The front multi-adjustment sports seats (heated) provide excellent
lateral support at high speeds, helping you to remain confidently
in control of the IS F even when cornering g forces are at their
peak. In the rear, two passengers can enjoy exceptional comfort,
even at high speeds, separated by a centre console that also
doubles as a hatch for skis or longer items.

43

OPTITRON INSTRUMENTATION

Vital performance data is provided through unique Optitron
instrumentation. It’s designed to give you clear and
unambiguous information at a glance so you don’t lose
your concentration on the road ahead. When you start
up the car, the needles go through an intriguingly
choreographed pre-race routine. A Multi-Information
Display between the two dials gives you gear selection
data and greets you with the “F” logo.

MARK LEVINSON®SURROUND SOUND

The standard Multimedia and Navigation package features
a 14-speaker, 300-watt, 10-channel, custom-engineered
Mark Levinson®Premium Surround system with an in­dash 6-CD/DVD player. The sound and DVD quality
