The Lexus IS F was the brainchild of Lexus engineer Yukihiko Yaguchi, who wanted to build a performance sedan that was not just about the performance numbers, but mainly appealed to the customer in terms of overall feel and emotion.
In developing the IS F, Yaguchi and his team focused on making the car responsive, not just in the throttle feel, but also when it came to overall driver inputs.
The car needed to respond well when turning, giving good steering feel and feedback through the suspension as well.
