The livestream will begin at 11 AM Eastern/ 4 PM GMT.
Below is a comparison photo of the latest teaser image and a profile view for the IS 350 F Sport that we reviewed earlier in the month. Are there any similarities? The greenhouse section appears identical, and the outline of its door is also similar. The new F Sport debut is therefore likely to be linked to Lexus’ smallest sedan.
The 2UR-GSE powertrain can produce 472 horsepower and 395 poundfeet (535 Newton meters) of torque in RC F. If forced induction is necessary, Lexus will have the V6 with a pair turbos and 416 hp (600 Nm) at driver’s disposal in big-boy LS. We’re willing to wager that most people would prefer the NA V8 engine over the other. So we are hoping Lexus has chosen the larger displacement.
It’s likely that the trademark filed almost a year ago strongly suggests that it will be called IS 500 F Sport. The IS 350 F Sport starts at $42,900 and goes up to $44,990 for AWD models. Lexus may offer other upgrades to the engine. These could include suspension tweaks and chassis adjustments, as well as larger brakes to handle the extra power.
The premiere of the F Sport model is scheduled for later today. It should be available in the United States in 2022MY. Sales are likely to begin in the second half of the year.
