Default Interesting finding RE: new IS F

Was recently perusing through various documents in TIS and while not much is posted on the 2021 IS yet, there are a couple of accessories documents posted including one for the wheel lock installation for PT276-53210-02. Note that the 2021 IS uses lug bolts instead of studs and so it is very specific.

The title of the document: LEXUS IS/IS-F 2021 WHEEL LOCK

Thought that was somewhat interesting and kind of confirms some other reports that have been seen recently.

Reminds me of movies that have a toy line that's released earlier that has spoilers.

I've never seen Toyota/Lexus separately reference F-Sport packages in any documentation like this, but it is possible.

Yes, the new IS uses lug bolts, similar to most Euro cars, the Supra (naturally), and the LFA (more at home).

With the demise of the GS platform.. It will be of NO surprise to bring back the Lexus IS F or Lexus IS 500..

My guess only - They will pump it with updated 2UR-GSE found in the current GS F / RC F -
Might still have a good stock pile of these ready to move..
OR maybe something new with twins. Who knows..

Heck they built an all new test track / proving grounds for the 2021 Lexus IS platform development.. And future performance cars.


This guy brings some interesting points to the conversation... Even Lexus themselves has been hush hush on the potential next IS F

Fast forward 10 mins if you get bored.

The IS F would make perfect sense to me with the demise of the GS F and the fact that it's almost zero development costs to build. Didn't expect it for 2021 though.

Will be interesting to see what happens.

Agreed.. Seems to all fall in line if they shoehorn in the current V8
All things considered it's a slap and go deal.!!

Clearly we know it's fits in the IS chassis / platform... The 2021 will still be built on the same exiting IS chassis / N Platform from 2013, but it's gone through some more refresh and enhancements as mentioned in all the press releases.

Also some decent renders that make sense, found here:
