Description

Lexus ISF 2008

The legendary Lexus ISF V8 developed by Yukihiko Yaguchi featuring the 5 litre V8 2UR-GSE engine co-engineered by Yamaha which is an all-aluminium and naturally aspirated V8 powerplant, engineered for high output and sustained high-performance driving. Performance figures are 417bhp at 6,600rpm and 372 lb/ft torque at 5,200rpm with the engine matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission, a development of the world-first unit that made its debut in the LS 460. Torque converter in first gear, and lock-up technology from second gear upwards, the driver can choose between ultra-quick manual shifts in manual mode, using paddles on the steering wheel. Its direct shift mechanism meant upshifts can be effected in just 0.1 seconds. On downshifts, the transmission uses a blipping control to match the engine speed, helping shifts to be achieved in just 0.3 seconds.
Brembo developed the IS F braking system, with powerful six-piston calipers clamping on 360mm ventilated and drilled discs up front, and two-piston calipers applying pressure to 345mm discs at the rear.
