Participants from a recent Lexus IS-F event confirmed that the harder, lightweight IS-F Evolution will make its debut in the summer of 2010 with prices starting around $250,000.

Sources say that the IS-F has gone through a serious weight-reduction program with extensive use of carbon-fiber. Total weight has been reduced by 308 pounds for a total of 3,410 pounds. The Lexus IS-F Evolution will also feature a 417-hp V8, carbon brakes, carbon interior and an upgraded aggressive front and rear.

The Lexus IS-F Evolution will see a limited production of just 500 units most of which will be sold in Japan. No word on how many units will be allocated for the international markets.

    That is it? 417hp, 3410 lbs for $250K?!?!?!

    What a joke!

    Lexus has only mastered the art of going into oblivion!

    Note the "most of which will be sold in Japan."

    This is merely Lexus trying to have a $250,000 car, not that its actually worth that. There are Lexus fanatics in Japan and a few sparse die-hards in America who might actually buy it at that price though.

    Why yes Bob! You can have 3 GT-Rs for 1 silly Toyota!

    And at this price it will still have an automatic transmission?

    For $250K there are so many other interesting cars that I would want more.

    haha $250,000?! No thank you, i'll buy a CTS-V, have more room, a nicer interior, save $190,000, and STILL drive circles around that thing.

    $250,000? That is a typo right? I wouldn't even pay that much for an LF-A if it ever came out.
  • Bob
    Ok ? so who at egmcartech is celebrating 420 day ?

    250k for this grabage. wow

    Id rather have a base F430 or even a Nissan GTR or actually both.

    I would and will never own a Lexus .. terrible, bland, boring. Even the IS-F its what 60+K and barely noticeable on the road.

    no offense, a lighter version of the IS-F for $250,000, thats more than a Lambo or Ferrari charges for their lighten up versions of their supercar.

    almost a $200,000k premium to save 300lbs and some carbon breaks... rather get a R8 v10
