I'd like to have a more aggressive wing/trunk spoiler on the next F. That one is about right, but still maybe just a tad too much. Or at least have a few parts like this to add on like the current "F-Sport" line for the 250 and 350.

Lexus IS-F Convertible Revealed in Latest Spy Photos

by



Lexus has never confirmed plans to build such a car, but that now seems irrelevant as our photographers have snapped these spy photos of what clearly appears to be an IS-F Convertible.

Notably obvious on the test mule, caught lapping the Nurburgring, is an aggressive front bumper, quad exhaust pipes and some big fender flares. Powering the convertible is expected to be the very same engine found in the sedan with 416 hp generated from a 5.0-liter V8.

A new addition is a large rear spoiler, which could be a part of the final package, or just a test piece as Lexus sorts out final settings for its newest performance car.

With Lexus believed to be planning an all-new third generation IS model for 2014, expect the IS-F Convertible to arrive soon.















Enjoy,

Good find! I'd rather have a coupe though.

Might be the test mule for a coupe,seeing that it only has 2 doors

I would be head over heels for one if they made a regular coupe.

Wow. The IS Couple has not sold well at all. The F Sedan didn't sell well at all either.

I have an idea! Let's combine them!

It's different.

same thing down here in Texas. I see them all the time.

For comparison, you don't see a whole lot of 4x4s running around NYC. That does not mean they're not selling well everywhere else.

Regarding the pics...looks like if the current F and Convertible had a love child. That's it. Kind of upsetting really. I was hoping for a new body style.

Bet it weighs in at 4100 lbs... so sad...same issue that made the SC430 a trophy wife car from jump instead of a real contender.

The ISC reminds me of the pumpkin-seed looking SC. Coupe looks a lot better.

I hope they don't change the body style in 2014. Although it's inevitable, the resale value of my 08 will continue to be high as long as the body style remains the same.
