Toyota Motor shows
off its new muscular Lexus ISF sportscar.
Toyota chose a swerving Formula One racing course to show its new luxury
Lexus sportscar Thursday, to make sure reporters got the message the new
ISF model is about revved up engine muscle and the thrill of nimble
handling.
Toyota Motor Corp. is planning to sell 7,000 Lexus ISF cars globally
next year, about 5,000 or 6,000 in the U.S., 500 in Japan and the rest
in Europe.
The US$67,000 sportscar, which can hit speeds of 300 kilometers per
hour, rolls out Dec. 25 in Japan, and in February or March in the U.S.,
Toyota executive Takeshi Yoshida said.
Reporters were given helmets before getting into the ISF. Then
professional drivers took reporters for two laps lasting just a few
minutes on the Fuji Speedway race course, reaching 240 kilometers per
hour at one point.
As the sportscar careened to turn sharp corners, reporters swayed in
their seats, holding tight, hearing the engine growl at high speeds and
sensing the pavement sped by.
Executive vice-president Akio Toyoda, the usually suit-clad grandson of
the Japanese automaker's founder, appeared in a black racing outfit and
was one of the test drivers for the event.
Toyoda, who oversees Japanese sales, acknowledged the Lexus needs time
to grow into a ``premium brand'' in Japan, where the nameplate was
introduced just three years ago.
"The Lexus must have the emotional factor of being exciting to drive,''
he said.
The ISF is a more powerful version of the Lexus IS, which is already on
sale. The letter "F'' added at the end of the ISF stands for fun'' as
well as Fuji Speedway, said Toyoda.
Toyota officials said the new Lexus ISF measures up in acceleration and
other performance to popular German imports.
