Full 2014 Lexus IS F Review
What's New for 2014
Though the regular Lexus IS has been fully redesigned, the 2014 Lexus IS F sedan continues on essentially unchanged. Minor revisions include new LED foglights, a carbon-fiber rear spoiler and upgraded leather upholstery.
Introduction
Like any good "wolf in sheep's clothing" sport sedan, the 2014 Lexus IS F manages to keep a low profile. From a distance, only the car's 19-inch wheels, hunkered-down stance and muscularly flared fenders give the hint that this isn't your hair stylist's IS 250.
Yet, this is a Lexus with the potential to eat your average upscale sports car for lunch.
The heart of the beast is a 5.0-liter V8 engine that sends an impressive 416 horsepower to the car's rear wheels. No manual transmission is available, but the quick-shifting eight-speed automatic shifts very quickly, and it's good enough to earn a 0-60-mph time of just 4.7 seconds. While its straight-line performance is certainly exhilarating, the Lexus IS F also features suspension, brake and tire upgrades to make sure it's just as inspiring on a winding stretch of asphalt.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2014 Lexus IS F is a high-performance four-passenger luxury sport sedan based on the automaker's regular IS models. It's offered in a single well-appointed trim level.
