Lexus IS-F and LS in Real Life
A Lexus tuned IS-F has finally made its way to the public eye, thanks to Wald International. That, and the Lexus LS – flagship of the Lexus fleet – may receive a V6. All this and more in this week’s round up of Lexus news!
The Lexus IS-F Sports Line Black Bison Edition delivers the vehicle with a 5.0-liter V8 engine, bringing up 417 horse power and 317 ft of torque. A new transmission blips the throttle when the driver downshifts, giving them solid control over the car.
The fourth generation Lexus LS is quickly on its way to becoming the next flagship of the fleet. its LS 460 and 600h both come with V8 engines. The LS 460 features a 380 horsepower (342 hp in some markets) 4.6-liter unit with an eight-speed automatic. On its own, the 5.0-liter V8 on the 600h produces 389 hp and up to 383 ft-lb of torque. But a more toned down (and inexpensive) version of the LS may be added to the line up. A V6 would bring better fuel economy, and a lower price tag will undoubtedly attract more buyers in this economy. The 3.5 liter V6 engine generates 311 horse power and 278 ft of torque.
