Weight distribution could be the same as an IS350 ... which would be pretty good, or they might try and make it better by extensive lightweight components used in the front of the car. Either way, we'll see.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add, the LF-A and IS-F in Geneva are the same ones that were unveiled in Detroit. The cars will make their way back for NY Auto Show and other events stateside in April.

Hopefully they will have a CF hood and front fenders to make the weight distribution 50/50.

Something interesting I came upon:

According to this Toyota press release, the top speed of the IS-F will be governed at 168 mph. I know Flip mentioned that it would limited to 160 mph, but it could be that Toyota is just tinkering with the limited top speed.

Nice find... thx!

I didn't catch it, did they give an exact date for availability overseas? It's January of 08 in the states, right?

flip, is there a link where we can see the PR in its original formatting? If not, can you post the exact numbers for the paragraph below? It's interesting, I specified in the Lexus poll that I would love an even better sound system in the IS-F (I think i mentioned 400 or more watts). Here's hoping they listened! Thanks.
