The $67,000 sportscar, which can hit speeds of 186 mph, rolls out Dec. 25 in Japan, and in February or March in the U.S., Toyota executive Takeshi Yoshida said. The car's official website pronounces it the "fastest Lexus ever."
Eager to show off the car's new five-liter, 423-horsepower V8 engine and eight-speed transmission -- the world's first -- Toyota invited reporters to test-ride the IS F. Professional racers whirled their passengers around the Fuji Speedway circuit, venue of the Formula 1 Japan Grand Prix last weekend, at speeds up to 240 kph (150 mph).
