THE CAR OF THE FUTURE
On 6 December 2006, Lexus officially confirmed the existence of the vehicle which they called IS-F in the press release.[4] At the North American International Auto Show on January 8, 2007, the new IS-F was debuted to the public. The vehicle features a 5.0 L direct-injected V8 producing 416 SAE hp (423 PS, 311 kW) at 6,600 rpm, while peak torque is 371 ft·lbf (503 N·m) at 5,200 rpm.[5] The engine also features a two-stage intake system, engine oil and automatic transmission fluid coolers and an oil pump designed for high-speed cornering. Images were leaked a couple of hours before the official announcement.[6] At its press debut, Lexus revealed that a separate "skunk works" team designed the IS-F in a manner distinct from typical Lexus engineering efforts.
