2008 Lexus IS F

2008 Lexus IS F Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Lexus IS F

The Lexus IS F is a higher-performance version of the compact IS luxury sport sedan. It competes with models like the Audi RS4 and BMW M3 by wedging a large V8 into its engine compartment, producing strong acceleration. The IS F's powerplant drives the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted like a manual with steering wheel-mounted paddles. It rides on a specially tuned sports suspension and 19-inch wheels and performance tires for better handling than either of the standard IS models.
