Lexus: Committed to driving (and riding) enjoyment & exhilaration

By KATHY MORAN, The Philippine STAR Published Oct 31, 2023 8:30 pm

There is nothing more thrilling and exciting to a car lover than getting behind the wheel of a vehicle in which comfort and hi-tech interiors are matched with an engine that reaches optimum speeds and performs smoothly. It is that union between driver and machine that is known as the Lexus Driving Signature (LDS).

Let’s begin with the Lexus IS 350F Sport, created with the LDS philosophy in mind. The foundation of a solid Lexus driving experience, the IS has earned popularity through its high-level driving performance—and the fun of driving a rear-wheel-drive sport sedan.

Enter Lexus is 350F Sport

For the driving enthusiast, there is no greater satisfaction than taking corners smoothly. To showcase and enhance the driving experience even further, the Lexus IS 350 F Sport is now equipped with a Limited-Slip Differential (LSD).

Ready: Inside the Lexus IS 350 F Sport, a look of class and comfort.

Driving in comfort comes to mind when you’re inside the Lexus IS 350F equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 motor. The sophisticated LSD delivers power to the rear wheels, boosting the confidence of any driver. Maximum acceleration out of a corner with full control are traits of an LSD tuned for enthusiasts. As such, the LSD is an integral part of any sport sedan’s arsenal and will bring a sense of enjoyment rarely found elsewhere.

Complementing this sporty and aggressive LSD is the availability of stunning 19-inch forged alloy wheels. Lightweight with a high rigidity appearance, it is 10% lighter compared with previous F-Sport alloy wheels. With the Lexus IS 350 F Sport, you’ll conquer any corner or straight line as you wish, staying fully in control of whatever lies ahead. And not only will you do it in style, but with an unmatched level of comfort and confidence you can only get while driving a Lexus. 

A view: In the Lexus IS 350F Sport we can sometimes forget about looking out the windows.

There’s more to performance than speed alone. It’s about feeling truly connected to your vehicle, the road, and your senses. When you’re behind the wheel, your senses are constantly working to keep you safe. But what if they were augmented by your car’s “senses” as well?

The Blind-Spot Monitor (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Automatic Braking (RCTAB) now come standard with the Lexus IS 350 F Sport. These safety features are an essential addition to the Lexus Safety System +2, a suite of safety features that include a Pre-Collision System (PCS), Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), Automatic High Beam (AHB), Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), and Lane Departure Alert (LDA). Lexus’ advanced safety systems go beyond human perception, to care for you and your passengers, intuitively and intelligently.

After 30 years, Lexus has established a unique identity, design language, and recognition in the overall luxury space. To continue reinforcing the Lexus brand identity, the company feels it is important to evolve its product development process to create vehicles that share dynamic behavior standards defined by Lexus Driving Signature. The Lexus IS 350 F Sport is a chief model among these.

Passion drives Lexus to create amazing cars that put sensory experience and pleasure first. When we are one with our vehicle, the sensations of the drive can be exhilarating, and the experience is fantastic.
