Overall Performance
The Lexus IS F has a stock top speed of 258 km/h (158 mph) which is very high for Class D cars. It has a decent acceleration but a very weak nitrous output. The handling is poor and suffers from understeer at high speed which makes the IS F rely a lot on handbraking when entering corners from high speed.

On February 7th, 2012, the car received a retune where its performance was upgraded and where a seventh gear was added.

Trivia
The Lexus IS-F is well known for its rare 8-speed gearbox. However, it never received this feature in NFS World: Currently it only has 7 gears. Before its re-tune in February 7th, 2012, it had only 6 gears.
