Lexus revealed today the Lexus IS F-Sport package which will be premiered at the Frankfurt Auto Show this week. The Lexus IS F-Sport package includes a front grille, a rear spoiler and exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels. For the interior, the Lexus IS F-Sport kit adds new seats, steering wheel and, on the IS 250, an automatic gear lever.
The Japanese carmaker also announced that the revised Lexus IS F now features a Torsen limited slip differential and significantly increases the traction and stability in high speed cornering. The LSD on the Lexus IS F can handle more the 500 Nm of torque and automatically diverts drive torque to the rear wheel with the most grip, for example to the outside rear wheel when cornering.
The unit uses low viscosity multigrade oil to reduce bearing rolling resistance and oil agitation resistance when the oil temperature is low, and a friction adjuster has been added to suppress the stick-slip phenomenon when sliding the car and to improve quietness.
