I'm guessing this is what that IS-F that was in those Top Gear pics with the GT-R and CLK Black was for........

Top Gear IS-F

Pity

i was hoping to see video of it being put up against the others...

Same here, that whole test of all those cars on the Isle of Man would make some awesome TV

The IS-F has had some very favourable reviews recently, read in Autocar a few weeks ago, they described it as having much better steering than the M3 and he'd recommend it over the M3 any day of the week.

Is it possible the IS-F is awesome but has been overlooked due to poor marketing and such?

i was thinking that, on the Lexus stand at the motorshow they had an ISF, yet there wasnt really anything denoting what it was, it was in the messa red and looked just plain and uninteresting
there is also the fact that there are not many available, so why spend lots on marketing a car that no-one can buy anyway !

its a good job they didnt bring a ultrasonic blue lol

lexus IS-F is going to be on top gear!! they'all be pitting it againgst the BMW M3. iwonder what their view is going to be on the first ever track performance lexus.

5th gear have already done this review against the m3 i think the m3 was favoured.

I always watch Best Motoring videos for car tests, I love the way they test the cars with Pro race drivers. check the two videos below:
