2012 Lexus IS F High Full Power Speed

To make the 2012 Lexus IS F as aerodynamic as possible, the front facia, hood, underbody and rear spoiler have all been specifically shaped to optimize airflow around the vehicle and minimize wind resistance. While aerodynamic styling gives the Lexus IS F a signature look, more importantly, it results in a balanced reduction of lift to help produce increased control at high speeds. By recognizing the unique secure code transmitted from your key fob, the SmartAccess system allows you to unlock and open your vehicle's door and trunk without having to remove your key from your pocket or handbag. The system also activates an entry lighting feature that helps to illuminate your path of entry. Puddle lamps, door handle, cabin interior and push button Start/Stop all illuminate sequentially for ease of entry.

Wide front fenders and 19-inch forged alloy wheels  lend an aggressive DTM-style racing look to the IS F. These BBS 19-in forged aluminum wheels are both stronger and lighter than equivalent cast wheels and help to improve handling and acceleration via reduced unsprung weight and rotational inertia. BBS-forged wheels are found on top-level racing cars around the world, including Formula One. Bi-Xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps are brighter than conventional halogen headlamps, use less energy and last significantly longer. In addition, an auto-leveling feature helps to ensure that the headlamps remain pointed at the proper angle. These headlamps also include LED daytime running lights, which use less energy while adding a dramatic air. For additional safety, the IS F comes with LED brake lights. Since they illuminate faster than standard bulbs, they can help give the driver behind you more time to respond in emergency situations.

The 2012 Lexus IS F five liter engine has an insatiable appetite for air that demands a sophisticated dual intake system.The dual intake system provides smooth power at low-to-medium speeds then opens wide at elevated rpm for maximum power and torque. This Lexus IS F Sport Direct-Shift transmission uses a special lock-up clutch for improved responsiveness, plus a control system that enables virtually instant manual upshifts (as quick as 0.1 seconds) and blips the throttle on downshifts, while giving the driver full control over gear selection. This sophisticated Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management system adds a comprehensive Sport mode on the IS F that supports high-performance driving. A very experienced driver can even turn VDIM off completely should the driver choose to tackle the road's twists and turns without assistance.

The available next-generation voice-activated Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Navigation System on the IS F features a touch-sensitive screen for inputting information, as well as an advanced voice-command system that allows you to search for destinations using your natural speaking voice. For example, if you say, "Show me gas stations," from the Destination Assist menu, you'll be presented with locations in your immediate vicinity. And once you select a destination, the system will calculate up to three different routes and provide audible and visual directions as you drive.  The system also features available XM NavTraffic and XM NavWeather, XM Sports and Stocks trial subscription, which can provide real-time traffic reports on specific highways or routes, and even reroute you around congestion.
