Lexus F-Sport Accessory Line
If BMW has its M-cars and normal cars with M Sport accessories, Lexus has to have it’s F-cars and F-Sport accessories too… though the names are abit predictable, heh. Following close after the first F-car - the Lexus IS-F is the Japanese luxury automaker’s line of performance accessories called the F-Sport line. Initially it will include products for the IS250 and the IS350, although items like brakes and wheels can likely be applied to the GS and LS as well.
The following is a list of initial F-Sport products:
- Air Intake - Reduces restriction in the intake, fully compatible with stock engine and ECU, and emission legal in all 50 US states
- 19″ Forged Alloy Wheels - dark graphite with 19″x8″ for the front and 19″x”9″ at the rear, designed for 225/35R19 tyres at the front and 255/35/R19 tyres at the rear.

i once saw on top gear that they actually preferred this particular Lexus over the other european marques.
i like it, too!
nicely done (although blue brake calipers looked out of place, somehow).

no performance figures?
November 20, 2007 @ 4:26 am
Impressive!

These are more like accessories packages for the buyers who wish to dress up their IS Lexae.
It looks cool, i like it but King-of-the-hill now is definitely the C-Class AMG kit. Even the M kit for the E90 seems pale next to it…

we know bmw’s “M” stands for motorsports.. so what does the “F” for lexus stand for i wonder? “Fast”??.. “Fu-Yoh”??
November 20, 2007 @ 10:27 am
The blue dont make sense for the calipers..XD
But if paired with bodypaint, its better.

how much in malysian market
November 20, 2007 @ 12:14 pm
Is it V6 or V8? Solution for M3 alternative?
November 20, 2007 @ 2:47 pm
The F in Lexus’s F-Sport and IS-F stands for Fuji, from the Fuji Speedway, where the IS-F was extensively tested.
November 20, 2007 @ 3:23 pm
F for Fuji?? Toyota owns Fuji.
And I though F was for Fast or Furious. Definately not for “Eff-ed”
TRD-developed parts would be good then. No complains there

Intake tat is still legal in 50 states emission wise? sounds like less fun
November 20, 2007 @ 6:02 pm

November 20, 2007 @ 10:34 pm
