You'll have to look closely to see the controls on the surface of the differences made to the 2011 Lexus IS F fresh, which is scheduled to make its world debut at this month's show motor 2010 in Paris. In fact, the only review of the IS F is external have been recently equipped with LED driving lights, probably added to make the Lexus easier to detect at high speed (and not follow the trend driven by Audi).

Working on a tight budget, the chief engineer Yukihiko Yaguchi said that there was basically happy with the car's exterior design, and that has put much more emphasis on "taking the IS F to a level superior handling and ride comfort." Good idea, because the IS F was definitely needs a next level of work in this area.

With its rough exhaust note, the IS F is a beast, a power pack 416, 5.0-liter V-8 mated to a 8-speed, Flappy paddle gearbox. But pushed hard, the chassis of the car to become unstable, especially in the rear.

This is not the case with 2011-audit, which crouches in the corners well and hang on like a pit bull angry. Behind the wheel of a pre-production in Australia-spec model at Fuji Speedway recently, we were more impressed by the improvements Yaguchi and his team have done for the stability of the car when cornering at high speed.

Although powertrain and vehicle curb weight of 3800-lb are the same suspension settings have been completely recalibrated. The combination of repricing spring and dampers, supplied with new high performance valves and connector body reinforced suspension and shrubs, allowing more suspension travel front, even to the back office. This creates better traction and stability at high speeds. An unexpected byproduct of this review is more consistent with driving the car, Yaguchi said that "was a bonus, but something we want." Adjustments to the steering mechanism designed to help more precise and accurate turn as well as in major reactions in the steering wheel.

Results of the F 2011 can now be pushed even harder in the corners, it will be better prepared when braking at turn-in, and at the same time when there are changes in the curvature of the road and the height. The IS F also exhibits less understeer and rear wheel traction and stability. In fact, the back is now so linked to the slight improvement of front-end downforce can produce even more traction and stability in the round. The new model is 2.8 miles around the Fuji Speedway in 2 minutes, 3.4 seconds - almost two seconds faster than its predecessor - with Yaguchi is subtle, but significant, changes.
