Lexus IS F Sport Mode Black III Debuts In Japan
Another cool ride we can't buy in the U.S.
Local Market
As has historically been the case, Japan and other countries around the world routinely get vehicles that we in the U.S. do not, which is often the source of some serious jealousy from our side of the pond. Now, that trend continues with the introduction of the Lexus IS F Sport Mode Black III, which has debuted in Japan, where it will be sold exclusively to that local market.

Going Dark
Luckily for us at least, the IS F Sport Mode Black III isn't some super-powerful, limited-edition, track-focused machine, but rather, just an appearance package of sorts. Still, it's a cool one for certain, with an emphasis on dark trim that's become all the rage in recent years.

Exterior Enhancements
Available on IS350, IS300h, and IS300 F Sport models, the Black III comes equipped with some exterior enhancements including Titanium Carbide Gray paint, gloss black wing mirrors, black window surrounds, and matte black forged BBS aluminum wheels.

Cabin Upgrades
The interior hasn't been neglected either, as the Black III features black Ultrasuede accents throughout the cabin, as well as an F Sport branded shift knob and the typical stuff we'd expect to find in a new Lexus, including an 8-inch digital display and various other luxuries.

Under the Radar
The interior also features plenty of black wood accents, which give it a nice, subtle, and classy appearance inside the cabin to accentuate the low-key exterior treatment that has it flying a bit under the proverbial radar, too.
