The Lexus IS 350 F Sport represents performance-oriented variant of IS compact sport sedan featuring naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 311 horsepower and 280 lb-ft torque, maintaining traditional naturally aspirated character while competitors adopt turbocharged powertrains. The rear-wheel-drive configuration achieves 0-60 mph acceleration in 5.6 seconds while all-wheel-drive variant completes sprint in 5.7 seconds, with both versions electronically limited to 143 mph top speed. Eight-speed automatic transmission equipped on rear-wheel-drive models provides smooth shifting and improved fuel efficiency, while all-wheel-drive versions utilize six-speed automatic transmission.
