			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lexus has released the first details of the European version of the 2012 IS-F model sports sedan. With an an updated chassis, Lexus promises a better driving experience and improved comfort from the new model.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13612" title="Lexus 2012 IS F Sports Sedan First Details Out" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012-Lexus-IS-F-unveiled-1.jpg" alt="2012 Lexus IS F unveiled 1 Lexus 2012 IS F Sports Sedan First Details Out" width="570" height="380" /></p>
<p><span id="more-13611"></span>New shock absorbers, larger stabilizer bars and revised suspension geometry are some of the other specification details and with new mono-tub shock absorbers that optimise the tyres on a bumpy road,  Lexus assures more comfort and stability.</p>
<p>The 5.0-litre V8 engine produces 423 PS (311kW/417 hp) and a torque of 505 Nm (372 lb-ft). The engine enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 Km/hour in 4.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 167 mph.</p>
<p>Individual exterior options also include a set of 19-inch alloy wheels in a 14-spoke design and for the interior, an available 2-tone, black and crimson leather trim.</p>
<p>The crimson leather trim can also be opted for in the coupe-cabriolet IS 250C that is offered as part of the luxury line, the price of which starts at 70,600 Euros.</p>

</p>
<p>In addition, the car’s cabin will sport a luxurious and spacious interior with premium leather upholstery and a 12.3-inch infotainment system.</p>
<p>Although engine specifications have not officially been revealed, we anticipate a 3.5-litre V6, a hybridized 3.5-litre V6 and perhaps a four-cylinder diesel for the European specific edition.</p>
<p>The GS 350 will be introduced on August 18<sup>th</sup> at the Pebble Beach Concours d&#8217;Elegance.</p>

</p>
<p>Going by the video, this new luxury Lexus vehicle sports an elegant silhouette and that makes the car look slick. Lexus has said that the GS 350 design has been inspired from the LF-Gh concept.</p>
<p>Not much details are available as the car has been shown wearing covers. But the automotive company has affirmed that the market edition will feature an &#8220;emotional design&#8221; with a unique grille and numerous styling aspects.</p>
<p>The interior is likely to sport leather upholstery, top-quality additions and a 12.3-inch infotainment system.</p>
<p>We have no word on what the power train options will be, though we expect it to possibly include a four-cylinder diesel (for Europe), hybrid or non-hybrid 3.5-liter V6.</p>

</p>
<p>The 2012 production model is likely to carry a more chiseled look than the previous Lexus models. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/111072235160/2012-lexus-gs-to-debut-at-pebble-beach---new-details">It’s likely to</a> have a &#8220;more defined and emotional design&#8221;, sporting a characteristic front grille and a number of styling attributes. We also get to know Lexus will introduce these attributes in other future models.</p>
<p>It is being said that the vehicle is built on an all-new chassis with a wider track (up 1.6 inches front / 2.0 inches rear) and a sportier suspension. The interior will be plush, complete with premium leather upholstery and a 12.3-inch infotainment system operable by a tactile mouse.  Lexus also had decided to bring in more interior shades other than the current black, grey and beige variants.</p>
<p>The model will equip an exclusive a 3.5-liter V6 power train, along with a six-speed automatic transmission. We also hear Lexus might bring in a hybrid model at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show.</p>

</p>
<p>As you can see in the picture, it seems to be targeting the younger customers. The smoky granite mica exterior with a revised grille, a subtle body kit and 19-inch alloy wheels pertains to it.</p>
<p>Coming to the interiors, there is two-tone leather upholstery, sport seats and matte brown wood trim.</p>
<p>Lexus desperately need to update the design of the LS. It looked fresh 5 years ago when it first came out, but it really hasn&#8217;t aged well. So, this might well be an attempt towards something new and adventurous.</p>
<p>Expected to cost around $73,000, the variant is likely to hit the markets by the end of this month.</p>
<p>Stay tuned.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lexus has brought 3 sports cars to the Tokyo Auto Salon. Among them, the CT200 H F Sport was earlier spotted at the Australian Motor Show in October with some differences. Lexus also has brought in two variants of the IS F model, the CCS-R (Circuit Club Sport Racer) and Club Performance Accessory.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10278" title="Lexus Brings New Race Tuned Versions to Tokyo" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/lexus3.jpg" alt="lexus3 Lexus Brings New Race Tuned Versions to Tokyo" width="570" height="343" /></p>
<p><span id="more-10275"></span>As the name suggests the CCS-R was made for better performance on the circuit. There are many track-oriented fittings like race suspension, brakes, cooling and exhaust systems, mechanical limited-slip differential and forged alloys with racing tires. The car has 6-speed safety harness, which would ease the safety concern when speeding.</p>
<p>CCS-R&#8217;s bonnet, boot lid, front and rear spoilers all are made of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is also featured in the interior for the centre console and the door trims. To give that sporty feel the steering wheel diameter is shortened. The roll cage is a new frameless one, windows are made of polycarbonate.</p>
<p>The other sibling of the IS F model, Club Performance Accessory comes from the Toyota Racing Department (TRD). It is the most powerful car in the IS series and comes with a 5.0 liter V8 engine producing a whopping 416 HP @ 6,600rpm and 371 lb-ft maximum torque @ 5200rpm.</p>

<a href='http://www.carblog.co.za/2011/01/19/lexus-brings-new-race-tuned-versions-to-tokyo/lexus1-2/' title='lexus1'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/lexus1-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="lexus1 150x150 Lexus Brings New Race Tuned Versions to Tokyo" title="Lexus Brings New Race Tuned Versions to Tokyo"  /></a>

<a href='http://www.carblog.co.za/2011/01/19/lexus-brings-new-race-tuned-versions-to-tokyo/lexus3-2/' title='lexus3'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/lexus3-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="lexus3 150x150 Lexus Brings New Race Tuned Versions to Tokyo" title="Lexus Brings New Race Tuned Versions to Tokyo"  /></a>

<p>The Club Performance Accessory sports a carbon fiber hood, rear diffuser, front and rear spoilers, sports suspension and brakes, titanium exhaust, magnesium rims and mechanical limited-slip differential.</p>
<p>This race bred car has been given a carbon switch panel base, paddle shift for quicker and smoother gear changes and orange sports seats in the interior.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lexus has filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, for an automobile that could be that a hybrid version of the Lexus ES sedan. The company already has a new hybrid vehicle the 2011   Lexus CT 200h in the works.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9933" title="Lexus ES New Edition Hybrid Expected" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/lexus-es.jpg" alt="lexus es Lexus ES New Edition Hybrid Expected" width="570" height="359" /></p>
<p><span id="more-9932"></span>According to the filing, the new hybrid is likely to have the same system (gasoline-electric) that the Toyota Camry hybrid has.</p>
<p>The Camry hybrid has been available since 2006, and it is high time that a sequel came out. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.greencarreports.com/blog/1052718_trademark-filing-confirms-lexus-es-300h-hybrid-sedan-coming">Reports </a>say that the new Lexus ES 300h is likely to have a variation of the Hybrid Synergy Drive system that the hybrid Camry has.</p>
<p>Based on the earlier Camry and limited information received, the new vehicle is expected to have a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine connected to a pair of compact electric motor-generators.</p>
<p>The car can operate on several modes -electric only (at low speeds), on both gas and electric, and also exclusively on gasoline.</p>
<p>The vehicle will have a top output of 187 horsepower (147 from the gas engine and 40 hp from the electric motor). EPA fuel economy ratings are at 33 mpg city and 34 mpg highway.</p>
<p>When the new ES 300h hybrid is launched, Lexus will have a total of six hybrid vehicles in its stables. No word is available yet on when the launch will take place, but reports say that a late 2012 or 2013 arrival can be expected.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Lexus LX570 now has an Aero Package that will help it perform even better on the streets. The vehicle is actually an offroader, but is now being equipped to meet city road conditions as well, initially on the roads of South Africa.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9694" title="Lexus LX570 Updated; Comes Driving into SA" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/LexusLX570-3.jpg" alt="LexusLX570 3 Lexus LX570 Updated; Comes Driving into SA" width="570" height="347" /></p>
<p><span id="more-9693"></span>Enjoying a distinct popularity in the SUV market, the LX570 has the best off road capability in the market, say reports. This performance, combined with the luxury that Lexus always guarantees has made it a spectacular offering. Now, making it more street worthy is sure to add even more to the appeal that the vehicle holds.</p>
<p>Specially designed with the tough weather conditions of Asia, Australia and South Africa in mind, the eight- seater SUV has now been equipped with the Aero Package.</p>
<p>Lexus says this modification has also been inspired by the fact that the US market will find the on-road capabilities more appealing.</p>
<p>Judging by the response it has received, the move has been a perfect one. The demand for the vehicle has far outmatched supply, ensuring that the market is wide open in favor of Lexus.</p>
<p>The vehicle is a permanent four-wheel drive with low range and four-wheel Active Height Control and Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS).</p>

<a href='http://www.carblog.co.za/2010/11/05/lexus-lx570-updated-comes-driving-into-sa/lexuslx570-3/' title='LexusLX570-3'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/LexusLX570-3-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="LexusLX570 3 150x150 Lexus LX570 Updated; Comes Driving into SA" title="Lexus LX570 Updated; Comes Driving into SA"  /></a>
<a href='http://www.carblog.co.za/2010/11/05/lexus-lx570-updated-comes-driving-into-sa/lexuslx570/' title='LexusLX570'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/LexusLX570-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="LexusLX570 150x150 Lexus LX570 Updated; Comes Driving into SA" title="Lexus LX570 Updated; Comes Driving into SA"  /></a>
<a href='http://www.carblog.co.za/2010/11/05/lexus-lx570-updated-comes-driving-into-sa/lexuslx570-1/' title='LexusLX570-1'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/LexusLX570-1-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="LexusLX570 1 150x150 Lexus LX570 Updated; Comes Driving into SA" title="Lexus LX570 Updated; Comes Driving into SA"  /></a>

<p>Other features like the Adaptive Variable Suspension that it possesses will come in handy as it becomes more focused on being an on-road vehicle.</p>
<p>With a revised front and rear spoilers and 20-inch alloy wheels wearing Dunlop 285/50 R20 tires finishing up the aerodynamic body kit, the SUV will be much in demand for the on-road presence it ensures.</p>
<p>The vehicle can comfortably accommodate eight people plus luggage, with three rows of seats. The engine is a 5.7-liter V8, which totally gives it the punch that is called for, giving it 270kW at 5,600 rpm and peak torque of 530Nm at 3,600 rpm.</p>
<p>This is connected to a six-speed automatic transmission that ably handles high torque while simultaneously ensuring the Lexus quiet silky smoothness.</p>
<p>Like all the other Lexus vehicles, this one is also covered by a four year/100000km warranty and full maintenance plan. The standard LX570 is priced at R1 110,700, the LX570 Aero R1, 136,300.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have finally been able to get a whole lot more information from Lexus regarding their hybrid line up that will be featured at SEMA 2010. The CT 200h F Sport Concept has high performance brakes and adjustable sport suspension with 18-inch F Sport wheels equipped with Pirelli PZero Nero tires. The concept will not be going into production – it will serve only to give users an idea of what Lexus has to offer.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9636" title="Lexus SEMA Hybrid Line Up Gears for Show" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/Lexus5.jpg" alt="Lexus5 Lexus SEMA Hybrid Line Up Gears for Show" width="570" height="380" /></p>
<p><span id="more-9635"></span>Another vehicle that has been revealed is the HS 250h by VIP Auto Salon, which displays an aerodynamic body kit, tinted windows, and flashes 20-inch Work Gnosis GS4 wheels.</p>
<p>The 0-60 Magazine GS 450h is an interesting offering, a hybrid with an attitude. With a five-piece carbon fiber body kit, a TEIN coil over suspension, a GReddy titanium exhaust, and a sizable striking rear wing, this is one car that people will notice. The interior has a roll cage, Sparco seats, and a racing-inspired center stack.</p>
<p>The LS 600h wears the VIP Auto Salon specified PPG &#8216;Hue of Macadamia&#8217; paint; the vehicle also has a custom air suspension, and 20-inch WALD Mahora wheels. The RX 450h by Paul Tolson has to be acknowledged as a wild experience in tuning – and features a Hired Gun widebody kit, 21-inch Leon Hardiritt Vertu wheels.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fancy what happens when you put the Lexus LFA and a Nissan GTR on a test track?  This is exactly what the guys at MotorTrend did. Pitting the Lexus LFA against almost compatriot Nissan GTR is sure to throw up interesting results. Amazing results ensue, indeed, we got to see.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8795" title="Lexus LFA vs Nissan GTR: Who’s The Fastest?" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/lexuslfanissangtr.jpg" alt="lexuslfanissangtr Lexus LFA vs Nissan GTR: Who’s The Fastest?" width="570" height="356" /></p>
<p><span id="more-8794"></span>The super car-like Lexus LFA, which is to come for around $400,000, has proved that it’s the best on track by finishing a notch ahead of the Nissan beauty over the quarter mile. The performance of the Lexus LFA may be attributed to the 10 year’s worth of research and development that had been on at the Lexus stables in Japan.</p>
<p>The 553 hp V10 Yamaha manufactured engine under the hood could be something to die for, don’t you think? A top speed of 202 mph is what you get from the LFA&#8217;s 4.8-liter, Formula-1-derived, 552-horsepower V-10.</p>
<p>Along the test track, the Lexus LFA might  seem like it lacks the pull compared to what the Nissan GTR boasts of, but it still impresses with a table flat torque curve, with 90% of max delivered before 4000 rpm, according to MotorTrend.</p>
<p>The quarter mile gets dumped in just 11.8 sec @ 123.7 mph, as against the Nissan GTR’s 11.9 sec @ 120.1 mph. That is indeed telling isn’t it? If you aren’t convinced watch the video below.</p>
