www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday January 24, 2007 - 17 Lexus fast-forwards to the future * Lexus is 18 years old in 2007 and like most car crazy people of that age it wants to go fast. Famed across the world as the maker of the most luxurious and refined cars, Lexus has now added speed and performance to the mix with two new sports cars unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show. The first is the IS-F, a high-performance version of the IS saloon with more than 400 horsepower from a 5.0-litre, V8 engine. The second is the LF-A supercar, a sportscar concept equipped with a V10 engine that produces more than 500 hp. Together, these exciting new cars make a dramatic statement about Lexus performance. Starting with the proven rear-wheel-drive Lexus IS 250, which is already equipped with a double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, the IS-F is powered by a performance tuned 5.0-litre V8 engine. Featuring specially engineered heads fed by a two-stage intake system, it produces 400+ horsepower and more than 350 ft/lbs of torque. The IS-F engine is mated to the world's first eight-speed automatic gearbox. A new torque-converter lock-up control was developed that allows for impressive acceleration and a direct, crisp gear change through the constant lock-up of the torque converter except in first gear. A 0-60mph time in less than 4.9 seconds is predicted. Huge, 14.2-inch cross-drilled front discs by Brembo, gripped by rigid, powerful six-piston aluminum calipers, while 13.6-inch rear cross-drilled discs feature two-piston calipers, restrain the impressive performance achieved by the IS-F. The LF-A sports-car concept was originally shown in 2005 to express a bold new direction in styling for the Lexus brand. The goals for the new LF-A are no different than they were with the original concept; to build a supercar with world-class performance that is uniquely Lexus. The LF-A is powered by a high revving, 500+ hp V10 engine. Its front mid-engine placement, along with a rear mounted transmission and rear mounted radiators, allows for excellent weight distribution and agile handling. The horsepower and refined aerodynamics make a top speed of 200 mph not only possible, but also probable. An "F" logo, indicating the vehicle's status as a part of the new "F" brand, is located on each front wing.
