New Lexus IS F ‘Red Edition’
- at Lexus of North Shore now
Lexus has launched an exclusive IS F ‘Red Edition’ of its renowned performance V8, which is available to view in the Lexus of North Shore showroom right now.
Just 10 of the ‘Red Edition’ model, each with a limited edition personalised plate, are being sold in New Zealand.
They feature a unique red leather interior, distinctive 19 inch alloy wheels and an individually numbered ‘Red Edition’ plaque inside the vehicle.
Lexus of North Shore Sales Manager Dennis Millerchen says: “The IS F ‘Red Edition’ just has to be seen to be believed. It’s a very refined beast and with only 10 available throughout the country they won’t hang around very long. Not only are they striking with the limited edition detailing but the performance is outstanding.”
Red leather accents feature on the front and rear seats, steering wheel and gear shift lever.
The wheel and tyre package features new 14 spoke BBS alloy wheels and larger tyre/rim size, up from 8 to 8.5 inch for improved grip.
The sequentially numbered ‘Red Edition’ dashboard plaque and licence plate starting with ISF001 highlights the exclusivity of this model.
All new IS F models, including the ‘Red Edition’, have received dynamic and visual changes for 2012, including upgraded suspension components and visual enhancements to the exterior and interior.
Suspension revisions include the adoption of all-new Sachs low friction front shock absorbers that improve high speed response to steering inputs. And at the rear, spring rates have also been changed to better work in concert with the revised front end.
Inside, the IS F receives new dark carbon-fibre look centre console inserts and a new exterior colour, Mercury Grey.
The Lexus IS F is powered by a, 5.0 litre V8 engine generating 311kW at 6600rpm and 505Nm of torque at 5200rpm that is Euro 5 compliant. The engine is mated to an eight-speed Sports Direct Shift (SPDS) automatic transmission and accelerates from 0-100km/h in just 4.8 seconds.
