New Lexus performance vehicles to make debut at NAIAS

Car manufacturers often carry in-house tuned performance models to offer buyers extra power, grip and a more dynamic driving experience. BMW's tuner shop is called "M", while Mercedes call their speed department AMG. Chrysler's mad scientists are confined to the SRT department, and now Toyota's luxury division, Lexus, is nearly set to introduce a new "F" designated IS model. Powered by a V8, the new Lexus IS-F will appeal to sports car enthusiasts with a "substantial" boost in power, joining the pair of six-cylinder equipped IS models currently available.
