2008 lexus ISF Review
Based on the IS-series sedan, the Lexus ISF is a hard-edged performance car released in 2008 and is directly aimed at perennial magazine-cover fodder like the Audi RS4, BMW M3, and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. The letter F has been brought back for the year 2008. With the introduction of the 2008 Lexus IS-F, the business has decided to barge in on the party hosted by the ultra-sport sedans.
However, the Lexus ISF 2008 still has several bugs to be worked out in areas other than the engine room. The IS-F, for one, does not come close to matching the ride-handling balance of some of its competitors. Even though its suspension has been significantly updated and performs exceptionally well on the racetrack. For another, its exterior style elements range from contentious (for example, the modified hood and snout necessary to fit the 5.0-liter mill) to plain tacky (for example, the quad-stacked tailpipes that aren’t linked to the exhaust system). On the other side, its German competitors, as well as the soon-to-be-released Cadillac CTS-V, provide rides that are more compliant and looks that are more understated.
Despite this, the 2008 Lexus ISF is an exciting car in its own right, and the uncompromising character of the vehicle suggests that Lexus is determined to do all it takes to guarantee that its sporty F models will be competitive with the leaders of their respective classes. Even if the company already has two hits with the letter F, the IS-F is a promising first step toward challenging the established titans for the factory performance championship.

2008 lexus ISF Top Speed
The 5.0-liter V8 engine that is included in the 2008 Lexus IS-F is capable of producing 416 horsepower and 371 pound-feet of torque that gives 2008 lexus ISF Top Speed of 170mph. The enormous torque generated by the 8-cylinder engine is transferred to the rear wheels via an automated gearbox with eight gears. Even though the automatic transmission is the only one that can be ordered, Lexus claims that its performance is comparable to that of the finest automated-clutch manuals, with up shifts that take only 100 milliseconds and automatic rev-matching on downshifts.
The 3,780-kilogram IS-F accelerated from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds during top gears instrumented testing. It then completed the quarter-mile in 13.2 seconds at 109 miles per hour. These are certainly impressive numbers, but they are a little bit disappointing compared to the times we recorded for an IS 350, which were 5.2 seconds to reach 60 and 13.8 seconds at 101.2 miles per hour. Don’t get us wrong—the IS-F is capable of some serious pulling power. The Germans, on the other hand, continue to have a slight advantage in terms of the stopwatch.
2008 lexus ISF Interior
The 2008 lexus ISF Interior is quite identical to the interior of the IS 350, except for a few aluminum trim pieces, blue ambient lighting, the sport above seats, and a two-passenger backseat, as opposed to the three-across center seen in the standard, IS model (the rear seatbacks do not fold down, but there is a ski pass-through). Other than these differences, the IS-interior F’s is virtually identical to the interior of the IS 350. That is not necessarily a negative thing, considering the IS 350 has an appealing and user-friendly control layout, high-quality materials, and superb sound insulation. Unfortuitously, the IS-F is also endowed with the confined rear-seat legroom typical of vehicles in the IS-series. Those considering purchasing the car should keep this fact in mind if they intend to transport several passengers of adult size routinely.
