Lexus Goes Racing.....Despite the Volcano

As a final test leading up to the Nürburgring 24h race, Lexus participated in this weekend’s Nürburgring 52. ADAC ACAS H&R-Cup race.

Only one LFA participated in the race, as Iceland’s volcanic ash prevented support personnel from getting to the track in time to run the second LFA—the IS F team also participated.

In a tragic turn, the race was ended immediately following a fatal accident involving Aston Martin driver Leo Löwenstein. Our condolences to Löwenstein’s family and the entire Aston Martin team.

Forget Wind in the Hair, This Will Set it On FIRE

For those of you who need to have alittle more get up and go in the morning, Lexus is now serving up a ISC-F... As you know, if the car is an F model it is going to be wicked.....

Last week, I blogged about Lexus’ new “F” car, the limited-edition IS350C F-Sport. While no photos of the car were available then, we were unable to show you an image of it. Now we have them, and here they are (photos of the car on other blog sites were of a different model). As for the car itself, here’s a recap: The car features a list of new items from the company’s F-Sports parts bin, including new 19-in. forged aluminum wheels shod with Michelin Pilot Sport 225/35ZR-19 tires in front and 255/35ZR=19 tires at rear, a new grille, new shocks co-developed with Bilstein and leather-wrapped shift knob with the F-Sport logo. Image to be released from Lexus later this week.

All models will have an individually-numbered badge on the center console. The IS 350C F-Sport Special Edition also comes with black leather-trimmed seats with sporty blue contrast stitching. Other Special Edition standard features include heated and ventilated front seats with wood trim; Bi-Xenon HID headlamps with Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS); headlamp washers; and Lexus Navigation. The car will hit Lexus dealerships later this month for $57,500.
