To make the
2012 Lexus IS F as aerodynamic as possible, the front facia, hood,underbody and rear spoiler have all been specifically shaped tooptimize airflow around the vehicle and minimize wind resistance. While aerodynamic styling gives the
Lexus IS F a signature look, moreimportantly, it results in a balanced reduction of lift to help produceincreased control at high speeds. By recognizing the unique secure code transmitted from your key fob, the SmartAccesssystem allows you to unlock and open your vehicle's door and trunkwithout having to remove your key from your pocket or handbag. Thesystem also activates an entry lighting feature that helps toilluminate your path of entry. Puddle lamps, door handle, cabininterior and push button Start/Stop all illuminate sequentially for ease of entry.

Wide front fenders and 19-inch forged alloy wheels
lend an aggressive DTM-style racing look to the IS F. These BBS 19-in forged aluminum wheels
are both stronger and lighter than equivalent cast wheels and help toimprove handling and acceleration via reduced unsprung weight androtational inertia. BBS-forged wheels are found on top-level racingcars around the world, including Formula One. Bi-Xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlampsare brighter than conventional halogen headlamps, use less energy andlast significantly longer. In addition, an auto-leveling feature helpsto ensure that the headlamps remain pointed at the proper angle. Theseheadlamps also include LED daytime running lights, which use lessenergy while adding a dramatic air. For additional safety, the IS Fcomes with LED brake lights. Since they illuminate faster than standardbulbs, they can help give the driver behind you more time to respond inemergency situations.

This IS F's Sport Direct-Shift transmission uses a special lock-upclutch for improved responsiveness, plus a control system that enablesvirtually instant manual upshifts (as quick as 0.1 seconds) and blipsthe throttle on downshifts, while giving the driver full control overgear selection. This sophisticated Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management
system adds a comprehensive Sport mode on the IS F that supportshigh-performance driving. A very experienced driver can even turn VDIM off completely should the driver choose to tackle the road's twists and turns without assistance.
