So looking at the these images that Steve Demmitt has taken it is clear that this is no Toyota by anybodies standards, this is a brand that stands alone now and competes with the best performance cars in the world and does alright against them. This new Lexus IS F is something else though, offering 416 HP from the 5.0 ltr 32 valve V8 engine.

This model is the auto version, but with eight gears, it is hardly going to feel like it, because those gears and the superb engine means that access to all of the HP is almost instant, unlike the standard auto car, which can be a little bit restricted when in racing conditions.

Product Features of the Short Ram Air Induction Intake System:

T6061 mendrel bend polish aluminium pipe

OEM specification and fitment

Reusable air filter

Short ram air intake system takes it to the next level by making installation a breeze. The short distance of the pipe allows air filter to be easily attached. The intake system comes complete with quality aluminium pipes, filters, hoses, stainless steel clamps, and brackets. Give your Honda Accord the ultra high performance look, aggressive tune and incredible horsepower gain it needs. * Does not come with CARB sticker please check with your State’s Motor Vehicle Department for regulation.

First of all the question is who takes out a new luxury car and strips it down, only to rebuild it? Normally the average person in the street would be pulling their hair out and shouting “Why!” But looking at the finished product it is clear to see that any worries about what the owner Brian Fox was thinking about should completely evaporate along with any idea that import builders has no idea what they are doing.

The great thing about building a new car is that the bodywork can stay as it is, with the addition of the odd flaring of the wheel arches, a bit of side skirt and of course, a boot spoiler the rest is just going to be whatever paint job is required. The BASF Glasurit paint in Sunset Orange Pearl looks just fantastic. Could this car be one of the best Lexus IS around? Well it has to be up there with the best, the way to tell in reality is to hold a mass photo shoot of all of the cars and get the site visitors to check them out and vote!

This may be a Lexus but done hold that against it, they are not all built for the suits who cruise around at 30 mph hoping that they look cool, this is the “IS F” and although F does stand for so many things, in this case it just has to be “Fast”

Underneath the bonnet, there is a beautifully crafted five litre V8 2UR-GSE engine, it is the same as the 4.6 version in the LS460 but with a lighter Yamaha Head, titanium valves, direct and port fuel injectors that generate 416 hp through the eight speed automatic gear box.

In short this car is hotter than anything around on the road and you are not going to get any suits in this thing, the LS F is for racers, it can get you to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds try keeping up with that when it pulls off from the lights.

Yet inside this is a luxury car, with everything to hand no taking your hands off the steering wheel of this baby for too long.
