So we recently got some seat time in the Lexus IS F, and we can proudly report that it's not anything Lexus has ever been before. Does it really compare to the M3 and C63 AMG? In a little-kid-from-down-the-street-trying-to-get-in-the-game way, yeah. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't be in the game.
I could start off with wheel sizes and the 8-speed transmission and all that, but this car is only marginally about the numbers. Still, let's get the numbers out of the way:
Lexus IS-F
8-speed auto, 5.0L V8, 416-HP, 371 lb.-ft.
BMW M3
6-speed manual, 4.0L V8, 414-HP, 295 lb.-ft.
Mercedes C 63 AMG
7-speed auto, 6.2L V8, 467-HP, 442 lb.-ft.
