Happy New Year everyone! We’ll skip the rest of the traditional greetings and the “new year, new me” part so we can relax with the second best-sounding vehicle Lexus made after the LFA - the IS F.
The Lexus IS F proves that not only the Germans can build compact super-sedans. And while they have a long history in this segment, mostly ruled by BMW, Lexus came up with an almost perfect performance sedan at first try.
Debuting back in 2008, the IS F came with a Yamaha-tuned 5-liter V8 engine mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox, stiff suspension, sharp steering and some nice elements to differentiate it from the standard model - quad stacked exhausts, big side vents, 18-inch rims and a couple of F badges.
And if the stock IS F sounds absolutely delicious, check the video bellow and listen to one with a modified exhaust and headers driving on the Pacific Coast Highway.
