Lexus today announced the first details on the official account of the IS-F renewed for the model year 2012. The most interesting with regard to superordinate Japanese regard the technique: the IS-F 2012 has been redesigned in some parts dynamically in order to be more effective than before.
Lexus has introduced this new shock absorbers, stiffer springs and stabilizer bars for increased section. The changes, ensures the house, are able to make the car more responsive, but do not imply any waiver on the level of comfort.
Nothing new under the hood instead, where it remains the feisty 5.0 V8 from 423 hp and 505 Nm, able to push the IS-F from 0 to 100 in 4.8 if it reaches 270 km / h top speed . With the introduction of MY 2012 finally goes on the list marked the debut of the optional BBS wheels 19 "and sports seats with two-tone leather upholstery.
Particularly interesting is the solution chosen for the rear: the exhaust split is positioned at the top, leaving room for a large air extractor, which works together with the spoiler above the rear window added to ensure correct aerodynamic pressure. No detail has been revealed about the mechanics, which plays a secondary role in this prototype, since the issue of pure performance was created Mugen CR-Z Concept, equipped with a turbocharged version of 1.5 iVTEC hybrid, capable of 200 hp and 22 lb-ft of torque.
The series of the Transformers movie, the character of Bumblebee, has helped to give great prominence to the Camaro and its black livery of yellow will be replicated on the model series, as it did with the first limited edition launched in the U.S. in 2009. The new Transformers: Special Edition will be offered as an optional package for versions 3000 Dollars 2LT V6 and V8 2SS and will include painting Rally Yellow, RS appearance package, the black stripes, blacks alloy wheels 20 "tires with sporty rear spoiler , Autobot logos outside, black leather interior with yellow stitching and logos on headrests and center console.

As reported by Worldcarfans, Lexus has admitted that the tour made by the pilot of Akira Iida Gazoo Racing Driving habitually LFA competition, was created for demonstration purposes only, without actually pointing to a record and a tour only available for filming. In fact, Lexus has scheduled an event for a few months, which will seek to improve this time and so the launch special edition of the already incredible LFA. Likely that the objective is to drop below 7.18, the time marked Porsche 911 GT2 RS.
Inside, the atmosphere is very "important": a combination of black and white chrome leather is combined with aluminum trim and with the brand of tuners scattered here and there. A more striking is not so much the color combination, widely tested, because the plot of the seams, at times redundant.
Under the hood beats a reinvigorated version of the 3.0 V6 TDI, brought for the occasion at 275 hp (+35), and fewer than 580 Nm (+80) of torque. This allows the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in just 6.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 229 km / h.
Indelible as the most powerful experiences, the Lexus LFA is betting everything on the emotional factor and its exclusivity. Only 500 (all already sold) will be produced. And only three examples of pre-production around the world are used for test printing. The car that we had to hand in these days in the setting of Forte dei Marmi, is the only available for European journalists. Never before has a LFA had arrived in Italy.
