Lexus IS F —F is for Fast!
By Steve Schaefer
E verybody knows
that a Lexus is a
luxury Toyota —
bigger, finer and
more expensive. The Lexus F
brand means more than that,

inspired by fellow engineer and
enthusiast Yukihiko Yaguchi,
developed this super Lexus internally.
It was a vision to take
luxury beyond the smooth, silken

directed at BMW, in a variety
of ways.

lower limbs, they have a harder
time fighting off this bacterial
invasion, and if the infection
spreads, it can lead to gangrene,
amputations, or even death.
