0-60 on this video looks way too fast. I might be wrong.
Someone check it out.

That's not an American IS350. The fuel econ screen in the dash is 8.4 l/km, it says "KM/H" on the speedo, but yeah that's pretty damn fast... don't forget though, that car is EXTREMELY fast stock, so I don't find that 0-100km time surprising with an upgraded exhaust on it.

Check out the "D" and "S" positioning on the dash: it's reversed. The driver is seated at the right...
