Look at the first picture of the IS facelifted 2011 Lexus IS 250 / 350 sedan for Japanese domestic market.

The exterior changes include the new headlamps that incorporate LED daytime running lights and the redesigned lower part of the front bumper with round foglamps. Though not visible from these photos, the interior is said to benefit from some minor trim upgrades.

The new Lexus IS gets an F-Sport grade with a unique front bumper as well as what Lexus describes as, a sport suspension developed by the LFA team.

Lexus reports that all 500 copies of the LFA are officially sold out. Lexus hasn’t announced how many LFAs would go to which regions of the world, but an earlier Wall Street Journal report quoted Lexus as saying that Toyota’s luxury arm would hand-pick which perspective buyers would gain the right to own the LFA. Looks like we didn’t make the cut, not that we had the $375k to spend one anyway.

Lexus unveiled a new promo video campaign for its upcoming 2011 CT 200h five-door hatchback.

Here’s how Lexus marketing VP Dave Nordstrom spins it: “With ‘Dark Ride’ we are creating a unique virtual test drive opportunity so consumers can experience this hybrid, that is like no other, months before it is available at dealerships in early 2011. In it, consumers play a co-starring role as the fun-to-drive Lexus CT 200h is put through its paces. By guiding the driver and the CT through a series of adventures, customers will be exposed to ‘The Darker Side of Green,’ which is completely different than the way hybrids are usually portrayed.”

Lexus has published an official details about its special-edition LFA Nürburgring. The new Lexus LFA gets an additional 10 horsepower on tap from the bat-guano V10, nudging the final figure to “more than 562″ horsepower.

The Lexus engineers have worked up a new aero package consisting of front and side spoilers, as well as a landing-deck sized fixed rear wing. And yes, they’re all made of carbon. Lexus has also firmed up the suspension even further, and fitted it with the mesh alloys seen above with “dedicated high-grip tyres.” Uh-huh. Lexus has managed to trim the transmission’s shift times to just 0.15 seconds, officially putting the LFA into the cog-swapping hall of fame.

Lexus has managed to still get the LFA to 62 mph in around 3.7 seconds and net a top speed of 202 mph in spite of the car’s higher downforce. If you want one, you better start bribing people now. The company plans on handing out just 50 examples within the standard LFA production run of 500 units.

It has a carbon-fiber and aluminum chassis tub, six-speed sequential manual transmission, an all-aluminum multilink suspension, and Bridgestone Potenza rubber and BBS forged alloys specifically and specially designed for it. Aside from those, it has a speed-controlled rear wing, carbon-ceramic brake discs, a carbon-fiber underbody, amultistage titanium muffler, and a bunch of other things which may be alien terms to you. You get the idea though, right? AWESOME CAR.

Compared to other cars of the same caliber, the Lexus LFA fares better than most of them. The Audi V10 R8 obtains its 0-100 km/h time in 3.9 seconds, its top speed being only 315 km/h. The SLS AMG achieves its 0-100 km/h time in 3.8 seconds, its top speed. The Lexus LFA is more expensive than most other super cars, yes, but its maker has ensured that none of that cost spent on it is put to waste with its speed, materials, and features.

As magnificent as the new Lexus LFA V10 is according to the aforementioned data, it is always best to get to know the car personally.

Furthermore, there’s a new navigation system and the EMV multi-display touch screen has large switches and rearranged layout for the audio controls while both front seats are equipped with new, inflator operated active headrests.

The hybrid system received the introduction of a new ECO mode, which modifies the throttle action and performance of the air conditioning system to support fuel-efficient driving, and the repackaging of the battery pack into two sections of six and 14 modules that has reduced its overall size and freed up more luggage space in the boot.
