Tom Ford on the Lexus IS-F
You've probably read a bit about this car already, but here's another line of thought just to confuse you.
First, a little background. I'm a big fan of fitness for purpose. If you make a supercar, you need to make it super. If you make a daily grind hatch, you need to make it practical and durable. Everything has a little niche, and compromises to make, to steal a customer or two.
So one of the hardest cars to make would be a properly sorted fast and practical saloon, mainly because 'fast' and 'practical' don't tend to sit well with each other. It's the milk and orange juice equation. Fine on their own, but try to mix them and you end up with a queasy mess.
And yet, right now, we have several extraordinary cars that manage it to varying degrees of success. The Merc C63 is properly mental. The RS4 (I know it's out of production), is a brilliant, brilliant thing. The BMW M3 brings together so much tech and knowledge that the sheer speed it can amass is almost inconceivable.

Lexus IS-F - Top Speed: 170mph 0-60 in 4.6 sec
MB C63 AMG - Top Speed: 155mph 0-60 in 4.4 sec
BMW M3 - Top Speed: 155mph 0-60 in 4.8 sec (62mph)
AUDI RS4 - Top Speed: 155mph 0-60 in 4.8 sec
http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/lexus/0710_2008_lexus_is-f/photo_11.html
*Lexus has updated its earlier preliminary figures. The IS-F's top speed has been raised to 170 mph instead of the 168 mph indicated in the chart above*
And lets not forget the upcoming Lexus IS-F/R
This will surely put it on the top in both top speed in 0-60 in 4.35 seconds. And that will beat the mighty Mercedes C63 AMG and leave both the M3 and the RS4 wondering what happened

ARE YOU CALLING MERCEDES A LIE????????????????????????
EVEN ON THE MERCEDES WEBSITE IT STATES 250km/h WHICH IS 155.35 mph for the Mercedes C63 AMG
http://www.mercedes-amg.com/C63/
UNTIL I HEAR IT FROM MERCEDES, AND UNTIL MERCEDES IT SELF SAYS SO. I'M GOING TO BELIEVE WHATEVER MERCEDES SAYS, BECAUSE THEIR THE ONES WHO INVENTED THE CAR, NOT CAR AND DRIVER NOT EDMUNDS NOT OTHER AMERICAN MAGAZINE.

If there is an agreement that german auto makers are limited to 155mph then whats all the fuss about?
Correct me if I'm wrong...the German makes are not allowed to sell a car in the U.S. that goes over 155 mph correct? Is this why the Mercedes US website has only 155mph on the car? If they do sell a car in the U.S. that goes over 155mph with that body kit wouldn'y that break the agreement?
Surely Audi and BMW would love to throw a body kit on their cars and surely that will make it past the 155 mark. But will this C63 AMG with the body kit sell in the U.S. with the body kit because that surely wil break the agreement?
But can the car come like this are they build it like this? Will this be a production car that goes over the 155mph? Because if it is the agreement that the German and the U.S. Department of Transporation is surely borken, and somebody will in breach of contract.

Is Mercedes not going by the rules sith staying with the 155mph like Floria and Michigan.....
Or is the C63 not a production car with the body kit, then once it get to the auto dealer they tune it then make it go faster, which alleviates them from the German trade aggreement that keeps the cars at 155mph in production and once they get to the auto dealer they can do whatever the hell they want?
If so my statement still stands....
Lexus IS-F still the FASTEST PRODUCTION car in it's class...:)

BTW, silver1...
On all Merc AMG cars, a de-limiter is available as a super sports package or something.
It doesn't fully de-limit the car, but it does open it up about 20mph more, to the 174 fastonekiller quoted.
Also, the Audi R8 is exempt from the agreement, seeing a top speed of 187mph.

Thats because judging by the numerous EXPERTS who have driven all the cars.....the ISF lags behind the others. You cant change reality. You may like the ISF personally, but that doesnt mean I will disregard what the EXPERTS are saying. Which is that the M3, C63, and RS4 are BETTER than the ISF.

slow witted,chip even bmw is not perfect.This is what autoweek had to say:For all this, though, the M3 is not quite as tactile in its actions as the car it replaces. The speed-sensitive rack-and-pinion steering, which also offers normal and sport modes, is light for a car boasting such performance, giving the impression of being a tad vague. Sport mode reduces the amount of assist throughout the speed range
(without changing the steering ratio à la BMW’s active steering) to provide more steering feel. Still, we’d like a bit more weight. It is only a small factor, but it does detract from the overall driving experience.
You are also aware of the car’s larger dimensions. It never feels quite as wieldy as before when you press hard. It’s not all that much bigger, but it gives the feeling that the M3 has moved up in size. Call it middle-age flab, if you like.
To help make the most of its electronic systems, the M3 receives MDrive, seen previously in the M5. Accessed via a steering-wheel button, it allows you to program your preferred chassis settings, store them and retrieve them; the settings appear on the iDrive monitor. At start-up, the M3 defaults to standard mode, but with a press of the MDrive button, you can sharpen the steering, stiffen the damping and set the ESP to function at a higher threshold. You might not use it every day, but it’s a nice touch for when you want to play.
Driving the M3 has always been a compelling experience, and that feeling remains. The new engine is potent yet doesn’t dominate proceedings in the one-dimensional way we’d feared. That’s because the chassis is well up to the job. It devours corners with clinical efficiency. In making it do so, however, BMW has had to trade off some of the M3’s renowned sensitivity.

By Kumat63 from Raleigh, NC on 1/13/2008
Pros:Engaging
The new m3 is a porky, pricey gas hog. It is a step backwards in every way from the best M3, the original E30 M3. A car that gets 13 mpg? That weighs 3600 lbs? That's not an M3! We need a car that is not "in the spirit" of the original M3. We need the old M3 back. It should weigh under 2800 lbs and seat 4. Cut the M3 V8 in half and tune it for about 240

So after years of hype that it would crush the M3 and RS4 at the track it is described as being "dead". I saw the Fifth Gear review by Tiff and he thought it was okay but the automatic gearbox wasn't good enough when going hard. And it was very prone to oversteer.
All the presenters will translate oversteer to being fun, and it is when you're on an airstrip, but it also means the cars engine is capable of going a lot faster than its chasis is.
The negative comments towards the IS-F are only because they promised to much and apparently have failed to deliver, but I reserve final opinion to when I drive an M3, RS4 and IS-F to be fair.
The C63 on the other hand is being priased because AMG didn't come out promising to deliver a better performing track car than the M3. They have their niche and make a great product. The chasis isn't as good as the M3, but they weren't claiming to beat it around the Nordschleife.
Lexus still retains its place as a good value, decent performance street car and good on em for that.

KEVINBSL500: "Why spend so much ca$h....by a corolla and fix it up..same thing...take an old BMW or MBZ over a lexus any day."
Yeah, take an old Chrysler and it will break down because a Mercedes is just an expensive Chrysler. They are around the same quality as American. There's a reason people like Japanese cars, because they are higher quality than both American and European.
Since, both are not very good cars, I think the reason some of these MB/BMW "drivers" buy them is just for a status symbol and for the badge/emblem, or as they prefer to say instead, for their heritage/history... yeah...right...what, their history of breaking down?
Why are people supposed to respect MB/BMW, just because they've been around for a long time, or seniority? They can't just keep talking about their past because it's about the present and future, too. Lexus has proven their cars are superior and American and European cars have been trying to catch up for a long time.

I think the IS-F looks the part and based from the numbers we've read its no slouch. However, I rather spend a little more on a German sports saloon than an IS.
I'm sure the IS is capable and I respect it but it doesn't mean any of us German car enthusiasts have to drool all over it. It is what it is so lets move on. The only negative thing I can say about the IS-F is that it lacks the soul of an M3 and the madness of a C63.

I have waited to voice my opinion on the looks of the IS-F until I actually saw it in person. I saw two this weekend and I have to say its even uglier in person than it is in the pictures. It looks like a toy spaceship not a sportscar- it can be as fast as a 911 twin turbo for all I care- I wouldn't be caught dead in it. U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi! :)
