Ramon- I see what you are saying..it hasnt been officially released to the public..true, but its official bc it came from Lexus...Let me backtrack..this wasnt some meeting over the phone with anybody, it was with a Lexus corporate rep,

it's cool..i guess we will see around november or whenever they do the press release ..i thought ppl would appreciate, im done with this thread enjoy the info for what it is....

 

415 makes no sense to me if the M3 and Audi RS4 are only 5hp more. I am sure they would at least tie them at 420.

 

But it didn't come from Lexus, that is the point. We are hearing it from you, you heard it from a dealer and the dealer heard it from whoever he heard it from. Which translates to nothing more than heresay.

 

401, 402, 403...(or whatever it will be) we'll just have to wait and see.

And no i didn't make it rhyme on purpose.

 

I found this in Autoweek.com

They say 425HP.

"IS: The high performance 2008 IS-F sedan, with a 425-hp, 5.0-liter V-8 and Brembo brakes, arrives late this year. A coupe will be added in mid-2008 as a 2009 model. But the convertible has been pushed back to the summer of 2009 because the plan now is to engineer a hardtop convertible instead of a ragtop."

They also say that the GS is finally getting the 3.5 V6. Well obviously thats wrong b/c they already have it.

 

It seems like almost every week a news/media outlet publishes a new number for the IS-F. Some sites actually published that the IS-F would have 400HP and 350 lb-ft of torque, which the original Lexus PR from the Detroit Auto Show proves wrong .

Let's wait for the official number before making judgements.

 

damn I feel like negrodamus!!
how bout some torch eating from the flamers
J/K I hope everyone will be pleased when they drive an IS-F, regardless of the numbers on paper.
