The 2009 Lexus IS gets benefit of fresh styling, interior upgrades and improved handling for the new model year. The IS grille and front bumper are revised, as are the rear bumper and taillights. New turn signals are now integrated into the exterior mirrors, and the 17-inch and 18-inch alloy wheels feature new designs. New suspension and steering tuning are designed to improve stability and control, and the IS 250 gets Lexus' advanced Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system. Inside is a revised instrument cluster, updated controls and paddle shifters now function in D mode.

The IS sedan is Lexus’ entry sport sedan that debuted originally at the 1999 Detroit Auto Show. An all-new second-generation design was introduced for the 2006 model year with the IS 250 and more powerful IS 350.. Lexus has adopted a two-sedan strategy with the new IS moving more towards sporty while the ES 350 is the entry luxury choice. The new IS has a more aggressive stance than the original and is the second example of styling that Lexus refers to as L-Finesse.

New Lexus IS-F police car RuLes UK .... wallpapers photos review pics images

We don’t know about you, but it might be some time before we dare to drive on the M1 or any other of the U.K.’s high speed thoroughfares. That is because we have just caught wind of the English bobby’s recent addition to their motor pool. Up until now the British traffic squad was using Subarus to chase down the bad guys, that was o.k. because after a few miles with the turbo spooled up would mean that the flat four engine’s top mount intercooler would be suffering from tremendous amounts of heat soak, lose power, and away you go.

However that won’t be the case anymore. Taking a page out of the American Law Enforcement handbook, the Humberside Police Force have decided to trade up for a couple of eight cylinder powered four door vehicles, but these aren’t just any V8s. They have decided to replace those worn out patrol cars with the most powerful Lexus on the market at the moment, the 415 HP IS-F. Aside from the already steep cost of ownership, the police squad also added almost £30,000 worth of additional on-board computers and communications equipment.

The Lexus IS-F has a performance minded modern day 5.0 Liter V8 engine capable of propelling the factory tuned IS from 0 to 60 MPH in only 4.8 seconds and reach an electronically limited top speed of 168 MPH.
