The new IS F Sport models can be instantly recognised thanks to their special grille and front bumper design. The “waistline” of the spindle-shaped grille is set higher than on the standard models, creating a larger lower grille that can draw in the greater volume of cooling air needed for sportier driving.

The IS F Sport also has an exclusive seat design that provides extra support. The seats are made using an integrated foaming method that ensures there are no gaps between the upholstery and the filling, providing the driver with increased levels of comfort and great lateral holding.

The IS is set to make its world debut at the Detroit motor show on January 15, ahead of its introduction to the UK market later this year.
