Video: See And Listen Under The Hood Of The New Lexus IS-F
Yesterday my good friend Troy shot me a quick clip of the IS-F flying down a back stretch at Nurburgring.

A few of you wished you could hear the motor a bit better. So today he tipped me off to an under hood view of that new V8 running so you all could hear.

Lexus IS-F Under The Hood



Enjoy, and thanks again to Troy for the tip!

Extremely distorted sound quality and there's nothing worse than digital distortion, but it sounds like a motorcycle.

Sorry, I don't want to be the bad guy here, but I thought it was the only way to get your attention.

For months I have seen you post long replies to LexusKing, when I have tried to tell you he is just 'taking the pi**', as in joking around.

There isn't any need to correct someone who is quite obviously joking.

Anyway, you've got some good comments. Keep them up.

I agree.. it all sounds a bit too fake and artificial.

Weird.


In fact it doesn't even sound THAT good. If you compare it to the new M3 or current RS4... whooosh

Agreed. Even the sound lacks magic feel. Good thing Lexus has Mark Levinson for real sound...

The IS-F does not sound better than an RS4. Keep on dreaming Lexus. However it does sound nice though. Two thumbs up.

But an IS that much I would be looking into another segment of cars. I rather have the more conservative RS4 appearance than a rice rocket IS-F though it would have suited me well when I was in my teens.

has lexus ever made a product that matched its bmw competitor in performance? no.

why should we believe this will be anything different? they still won't let anyone drive it. and they still won't reveal any important stats like weight distribution. too little to go on here.

FanBoy, the IS350 is faster than the IS300, but it's a step backwards in terms of suspension tuning and steering response.

The sound of the Lexus IS-F revving sound pretty aggressive and mean to me. Any of you hear remember of the BMW M3 revv sound like? yes you got, it sound pussy cat meowing in the morning.

I can't for this Lexus IS-F to come out and shut all the German tree hugger off. And than they will make excuse again like they always do.

I wonder when will the German decide to copy the Lexus stack exhausts. Let see if Lexus can hit the target this time with this baby.

Haha you're now talking smack against the M3. The M3 is a legend. The IS-F is not simple as that. You say it sounds like a cat but the sound of an M3 is high performance. Ferraris can have high pitched sounds too but just because it's a Ferrari you show respect to it what a fruitcake.

Anyways, what is that with the German tree hugger comment? How does that relate to any cars at all? It shows your immaturity and shows your knowledge about cars. Quit gluing your eyes to a computer monitor and go drive some real cars instead of ones in your PC games.

It sounds like a pretty good V8, but still, this doesn't show me much. There's too much distortion and background sound.

I think they want the distortion in the background for some reason that we might not know of. We know how the Japanese usually are very tight lip about their up and coming car.

Tight lip yeah right. They have magazines talking about the upcoming cars or concepts. If it was that tight lipped they wouldn't have any rumors at all. However without rumors there wont be any hype. Less hype less sales.

I wonder how many horse power will this Lexus IS-F has on it production models? I hoping that it will have between 450-500 hp, that be really sweet.

Not true. It will probably not be above 410hp; because their marketing dept. claims 400hp.

FanBoy's is the most realistic. As the RS4 and new M3 both employ 420hp engines, I wouldn't be surprised if Lexus tries to trump them with 421hp or something. Then the RS5 will come with 450hp, and the C63 with 700hp in usual Mercedes fashion...

FanBoy3000, your'e dumber than I thought your were, I say that to piss all the German fanboys off intentionally. And you fell for the bate. How do you know if it not close to 450 hp? the car is not even out yet. Lexus has claim numerous of time that the Lexus IS-F will have well over 400 hp.

FanBoy3000 is a joint-German/Lexus fan. I'm pretty sure he likes the German car fans better, but prefers Lexus cars.

Agent63, we have this conversation before, just because I say something doesn't it true. I am a hardcore Lexus fan, what do you want me to do? just let the German fanboys make fun of the Lexus IS-F and do nothing about? come on........

If I make fun of the M3 or RS4 which by the way is my favorite sport from Audi, you be defending right? right.

If I could have any sedan in the world right now, it would probably be a Sprint Blue RS4. It's hard to resist, but I'm addicted to convertibles, so I can't really choose... 911 C4S Cabrio or RS4?

S4, If I was in the market for the Audi RS4, it would be red for me.

I think I have come up with a few ideas since S4 made me think about a change up for my cars. Maybe get rid of the LS and get an R8 or even get the RS5 if they make one.

One reason why I would get the RS5 over the R8 is practicality. Mind you the LS is my daily driver and the S is driven a little less and if i'm replacing the LS I'll need a car that's just as practical. I think the RS5 would be good with a nicely appointed interior and sport-luxury. However there also is that new M3 out but I do like the A5's more understated look. It's a very conservative look for Audi and i'm loving it!

Unless...I get rid of rid of the LS and get myself a V8 Vantage but it will mean forking out more $.

Oh my mind is running wild. The 'want' is taking over the 'need' and that's not good!
