The 415 HP number was given to me by the Lexus rep (from their corporate headquarters......not a salesman) He did not have any torque numbers.
Sadly, no one could drive the car for even sit in it for that matter......so all photos were taken from outside. One thing I failed to mention however was that the front fender vents look good in the flesh. Other photos I've seen shown them to stick out a lot............they don't.

See my 415 HP thread here...https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...wpost&t=298463
but i also read that those who were on the waiting list were mailed some stuff including the $750 off coupon

I'm not in the market for the IS-F, but I'm still curious why they'd take out the rear middle seat..
Yes, I know the backseat is pretty useless anyway, but it's not like they really did anything special in that middle section, and it doesn't look like the individual seats got any bigger. At least with the cushion and seat belt there, you can squeeze 3 passengers in the back in a pinch.

The 415HP was just to fool people like the fake tags pre-production Tundras had during previews .
By the way, those paddle shifters really *are* chrome, as opposed to the painted ones in the IS250/350.
They may have removed the middle seat for weight savings, or perhaps to enhance the chassis/platform there. We don't know for sure, so lets wait to see what info we get about it from Lexus.

This is like the Richter scale in reverse...
5 seconds IS350 40K
4 seconds Porsche Turbo $150K
3 seconds Bugatti Veyron $1M
2 seconds Formula One $Many Millions.
