0-60 in 4.2 seconds stock. Terrible review. Stopped watching very early into the video. Seems like Motortrend really has something against Lexus vehicles lol.
I’ve seen bone stock cars do 4.2 but most the time it’s 4.8-5 seconds, the first gear goes to around 40 mph I think so it has alot to do with if the shift is quick or not
Lexus might say that's the time but it might not actually be. Real world times aren't always the same. But 6 seconds is a bit ridiculous. They must have not tried very hard.
Actually I believe it’s due to elevation beyond sea level. With naturally aspirated engines they typically produce better 0-60 times closer to sea level
I was starting to get the feeling that Motortrend is starting to let it slip in the quality of their content, and now this video just makes this hunch even bigger.
The 2008 Lexus ISF does 0-60 in 4.2 sec., and the 2008 IS350 does 0-60 in 5.1 sec. stock according to Car & Driver. Quarter-mile time: 13.7 sec at 104 mph; quite fast for a $36,670 car (at the time).
it depends on the level of attitude and air density as well..in some place e.g 1 mile above sea level, cars tend to accelerate slower than factory claimed
I love the down to earth way you advertised ebay motors keep doing it like that and that'd be great mkay love all of y'all and all the work you put into this season, good luck next season!
MotorTrend is in vacation mode. Who would put up the wrong 60 times that are a couple seconds off and no mention of this car being as last year run. This is lexus technology from 6-7 years ago. I don't get this one?
This is the right car. They did not mistake the models. For whatever reason, Lexus decided to use the old body style for the IS F. It is speculated that 2015 will showcase and IS F Coupe and Sedan in the new body style. Also, the 0-60 is not 6 seconds it's 4.6.
For all you know it all's, the isF is the fastest production car in the Lexus line up, notice the key word "production" since the LFA isn't in production anymore. He didn't say the isF is the fastest car Lexus has ever made.
What a lot of you forget is ALTITUDE can cut as much as 1 second off your 0-60 time. Not sure where they tested the time but you act like you don't drive cars
You should have done some "light painting" whit those flares. Would have looked cool to se the light trail left behind the car in some bends. thanks for 2013
...lot of haters in the comments...Anyway. The Lexus looks great. And the it does do a sight better than 6 seconds to 60. I believe it is 4.5, plus or minus.
Wrong, the ISF does 0-60mph in 4.6secs. Seems like 6secs was achieved on a dirty surface, considering you guys shot this video in the middle of the desert.
no doubt this guy has more driving talent in his left foot than I do in my whole body. That said, the fact that this segment is still on, and will be back for a next season, makes no sense to me :/
jshaw6600 Dude I am not stupid I know what an air extractor looks like . Just freeze your screen on the above mentioned time and you will know what I am talking about .
alzailaie07 Oh you're talking about that little ding just forward of the midpoint on the fender? My first answer was honest as I've had someone else think that the air extractor was a damaged panel.
M3for the track. C63 amg for a highway monster with class Isf for resale value and reliability Ctsv for straight lines with the cheapest interior of all.
IDK, I think they might have gotten the car name wrong or I'm missing something? The Lexus IS F for 2014 looks different, I was sitting in IS --F a few weeks ago and this is not the car and I typed in goggle, this video youtube title and it gave me the same car as I test drove, which is different from this video, so, somethings here is wrong??????
Saw one off visiting you old home deeeeep in the woods. It was bumping down a dirt road making me cry. Had to be a big meth dealer. In all the years I lived out there the nicest thing I saw would be a new 30k car. I didn't even like driving our LX470 down that dirt road and it is built for rocks not pebbles from the ground up.
It is, indeed, roughly 4.5 seconds. Motortrend even got similar numbers themselves in their Ignition episode on the IS-F. I don't know what happened in this video.
This is the only Toyota/Lexus I would want to buy. How can you go wrong with a V8 rear drive set up. Who cares if it has 4 doors, just means you can take more people with ya. And have them be comfortable.
0-60 in 4.2 seconds stock. Terrible review. Stopped watching very early into the video. Seems like Motortrend really has something against Lexus vehicles lol.
mike I thought the same thing. Wack.
Facts
0-60mph in 6 seconds? That can't be right. Every other motoring media outlet and lexus themselves claim 4.6 seconds.
Alex Zevallos Correct, what I mentioned aswell. They generally achieve 0-60 in 4.6secs. This journalist needs a sacking.
I’ve seen bone stock cars do 4.2 but most the time it’s 4.8-5 seconds, the first gear goes to around 40 mph I think so it has alot to do with if the shift is quick or not
From Lexus.com
416 horsepower
0-60 in 4.6 seconds
Come on Justin!
I was about to say! I can do better than 6 seconds in my 4200 LB Challenger R/T.
yeah, i was gonna say 6 secs hardly qualifies for the fastest car. how have they not caught that yet??
Lexus might say that's the time but it might not actually be. Real world times aren't always the same. But 6 seconds is a bit ridiculous. They must have not tried very hard.
Justin, my Chrysler 300 with a 5.7L Hemi can do it in 5.2.
That is my best in my 2013 R/T Plus manual. Also a 5.7 Hemi. Tons of wheel spin in first though so I think I can still do better :)
love my ISF. everything i need. reliablity, power, 4door, tech, comfy.
0-60mph in 6 sec?! Surely that's not accurate.
the 2012 that motortrend tested did 0-60 in 4.5, so im willing to bet that was a screw up
it's not. Mine did 4.2 stock.
It's not, and don't call me Shirley
Max Hertz LMAO!
Props to Lexus for making an exciting and RELIABLE machine.. the two things are usually exclusive.
WRONG 0-60 time, actual speed is 4.6 seconds! What's going on with these reviews?
They posted the wrong time. The slowest time the Lexus IS-F got from 0-60 is around 4.3 seconds and the fastest was 4.1 seconds.
It's not wrong, they show real world stats. They don't launch the car instead they just mash the gas pedal.
Actually I believe it’s due to elevation beyond sea level. With naturally aspirated engines they typically produce better 0-60 times closer to sea level
I was starting to get the feeling that Motortrend is starting to let it slip in the quality of their content, and now this video just makes this hunch even bigger.
This review is absolutely terrible.See Carlos Lago review on ignition episode 33
JP Farrell This is not a review.
Agreed. It's not a review. It's a waste of time and bandwidth.
Lexus has made great progress with their sport sedans..
Kudos, beautiful machine!
Wow the hideous redesign give me such an appreciation for the last gen. That is a good looking car..
The 0-60 is NOT 6 seconds. My mom has the 2008 IS 350 with a 4.8s 0-60.
The 2008 Lexus ISF does 0-60 in 4.2 sec., and the 2008 IS350 does 0-60 in 5.1 sec. stock according to Car & Driver. Quarter-mile time: 13.7 sec at 104 mph; quite fast for a $36,670 car (at the time).
it depends on the level of attitude and air density as well..in some place e.g 1 mile above sea level, cars tend to accelerate slower than factory claimed
That exhaust tone gets me every time, so nice !
The best about this part about this car is about it's every day practicality/reliability, but with a v8 that out preforms most sedans in it's class.
I love the down to earth way you advertised ebay motors keep doing it like that and that'd be great mkay love all of y'all and all the work you put into this season, good luck next season!
Wow! Really unique feature. Apparently the IS F can be converted from LH steering to RH quite easily (1:38).
MotorTrend is in vacation mode. Who would put up the wrong 60 times that are a couple seconds off and no mention of this car being as last year run. This is lexus technology from 6-7 years ago. I don't get this one?
great job,you,Carlos and Jessie are the best
Luxury, style, power and most of all dependability! That's what Lexus is known for! :D
Shout out to Steve Meade, stunning looking ride man!
0-60 in 6 seconds? Lmao its 4.6 seconds
This challenge thing is kinda good. I like them. Bring some more next time.
This is the right car. They did not mistake the models. For whatever reason, Lexus decided to use the old body style for the IS F. It is speculated that 2015 will showcase and IS F Coupe and Sedan in the new body style. Also, the 0-60 is not 6 seconds it's 4.6.
Love the night challenge, it was cool and different for a change
Why so much hate in the comments on this video? So many stupid people...
A 1400 degree burning roadflare in close proximity to a gas tank...what could possibly go wrong?
Cool it there, Bell, you ain't know Clarkson and this ain't no Top Gear.
thanks lane
Isf is the best among its competitors.
You're a left foot driver mate?
6 second? I can do this in my old beat up XR 8!!!
They just put all these technology into a last century body design...
thanks
Motortrend, please stop uploading these Fastest Car show videos. This is rubbish.
I was diggin the music.
For all you know it all's, the isF is the fastest production car in the Lexus line up, notice the key word "production" since the LFA isn't in production anymore. He didn't say the isF is the fastest car Lexus has ever made.
Justin! I love you!
incredible car.
F1 uses forged magnesium wheels lol, come on Motor Trend...
LFA???
What a lot of you forget is ALTITUDE can cut as much as 1 second off your 0-60 time. Not sure where they tested the time but you act like you don't drive cars
You should have done some "light painting" whit those flares. Would have looked cool to se the light trail left behind the car in some bends. thanks for 2013
i thought that was the purpose of the challenge. the ending of this video was pretty anti-climactic without that.
This car is actually quite fast for the weight and I'm sure it's very quiet with a good ride
Is this an old movie reuploaded or something?
Is f isnt build any more right? There is a new is model..
I dont get it..
Inwould love to be able to afford this once in my time , in enough time to enjoy.
Name of the dubstep track?
I liked styling on the original ISF when it was more aggressive and boyracer-y.
So there is this little car called the LFA... and I think its a litttttle bit faster than the IS-F
Is there going to be an ISF with the new IS body?
...lot of haters in the comments...Anyway. The Lexus looks great. And the it does do a sight better than 6 seconds to 60. I believe it is 4.5, plus or minus.
Wrong, the ISF does 0-60mph in 4.6secs. Seems like 6secs was achieved on a dirty surface, considering you guys shot this video in the middle of the desert.
I like the ISF and that they did not open the front fascia like the GS. But what was with the video at 1:38 and 2:26 ? Right hand drive?...haha
no doubt this guy has more driving talent in his left foot than I do in my whole body. That said, the fact that this segment is still on, and will be back for a next season, makes no sense to me :/
464040how and a 0-60 time of 6 seconds? Heavy is not the word.
Is it me or is that right fender at 0:03 seconds damaged . What the hell .
i saw that too
It's not damaged that's the design. It's an air extractor. Has one on both side just behind the front wheels. Google "lexus is-f fender".
jshaw6600 Dude I am not stupid I know what an air extractor looks like . Just freeze your screen on the above mentioned time and you will know what I am talking about .
Andrew Hershfeld Thank you for proving me right.
alzailaie07 Oh you're talking about that little ding just forward of the midpoint on the fender?
My first answer was honest as I've had someone else think that the air extractor was a damaged panel.
Lexus ISF starts off with 4.2 secs in 2008 and then becomes slower by the year and becomes 4.5 to 4.6 secs. Where did you get 6 secs ?
Crazy ... but good! :)
When was this filmed???
0-60 mph 6 sec?? LMFAO !!!!
The information about the 0-60 is wrong.
M3for the track.
C63 amg for a highway monster with class
Isf for resale value and reliability
Ctsv for straight lines with the cheapest interior of all.
IDK, I think they might have gotten the car name wrong or I'm missing something? The Lexus IS F for 2014 looks different, I was sitting in IS --F a few weeks ago and this is not the car and I typed in goggle, this video youtube title and it gave me the same car as I test drove, which is different from this video, so, somethings here is wrong??????
you are talking about is350 f sport not isf
Jan Wildner ah, makes sense.
6.0 seconds? Did you really just do a 0-60 test through a chicane?
Saw one off visiting you old home deeeeep in the woods. It was bumping down a dirt road making me cry. Had to be a big meth dealer. In all the years I lived out there the nicest thing I saw would be a new 30k car. I didn't even like driving our LX470 down that dirt road and it is built for rocks not pebbles from the ground up.
fire this guy, MT
Who edits these videos?! 0-60 in 6 seconds? lmaooo
how come it doesnt share the same looks as the current is250-350?
They continued on with the old design for the IS-F for one last year before it's discontinued to make way for the RC-F for 2015.
The m3 is old and out played also
RCF will mop the floor !
You get a 15 second 1/4 mile out of it too? I stopped watching the video when they displayed 6 seconds on the screen
How old is this video?! Stop moving old videos from the Ebay Channel over to Motor Trend.
0-60 in 6 seconds ? So with 410+ HP it is only 3 secs faster than my 132hp Neon.
This one is no good MT. Go back and do it again!
whats the name of the techno song?
To inspire so much hate and misinformation from the fanboys, Lexus definitely did something right with the ISF lol
0-60 in six seconds?? Seems kinda slow..
I know I could of sworn it was like 4.5 in this car.
It is, indeed, roughly 4.5 seconds. Motortrend even got similar numbers themselves in their Ignition episode on the IS-F. I don't know what happened in this video.
They posted the wrong time. The slowest time the Lexus IS-F got from 0-60 is around 4.3 seconds and the fastest was 4.1 seconds.
TonyTheTiger1516 They posted the wrong time. The slowest time the Lexus IS-F got from 0-60 is around 4.3 seconds and the fastest was 4.1 seconds.
kempowarrior unacceptable mistake.
im a little late to the party but i bought a ISF 6 months ago lol.
Never too late with those being rare and unique
0-60 in 6 seconds? That sucks for the amount of power
0-60 mph in 6 sec? My LS 460 L goes 5.7 sec and that's a huge car. I think it was a typho.
shouldn't be the Ep3.30?
its friday where the hell is RoadKill
The IS-F has always looked good to me on paper, but it is astoundingly ugly to me.
i actually think the same about that butt-ass ugly bmw Z4...i mean it's real bad. Some people like 'em though.
I sold the Z4 for an M3, so calm down.
meade916 You never got that reply... LOL
I wish Suzuki put more power into the Kizashi. Way better looking car.
Da fuck? 0-60 6 secs?
Ya I think they are a bit off.....lol
Love it
But what are the downshifts like?
Nice dent in the fender
Won't catch me dead in a Toyota made car
0-60 in 6 secs has got to be wrong
0-60 in 6seconds? Uhm yeah right.... A little off there.
Why would it not look like the new ones?!?!
Song?
0:26 Soundtrack?????
i feel like this guy tryhards so much to be Richard Hammondish but he fails miserably leaving MotorTrend to soak up the hate...
Should've done a fast lap while the sun was up.
Mdkf goggles n*'&&*? 37
0-60 in 6 seconds... hahaha
has justin ever had a bad review of a car?
good sound would be more fun if you could turn the trak control off.
This isn't the fastest production car Lexus make they have a car called the LFA??? Perhaps you have heard of it
LFA ended production in 2012, and they only sold 500, not really production at those numbers, more like custom.
noredcr Uran myth has it, the LFA cost more to build than to buy. Lexus did it to prove something, that's all.
416 hp and 0-60 in 6 seconds? How the fuck is this as fast as a brz?
upload road kill already !!!!!!!!
This is the only Toyota/Lexus I would want to buy. How can you go wrong with a V8 rear drive set up. Who cares if it has 4 doors, just means you can take more people with ya. And have them be comfortable.
Wow....
