Payne says that the aerodynamic package is an ''important contributor to performance, fuel efficiency and stability. Low exterior drag is enhanced with careful attention to underbody airflow management designed to
minimize and balance front/rear lift. The low drag body makes best use of engine power, and the low lift enhances high-speed stability and handling balance.''
Key specifications for the IS model would include a length of 4,575 mm, a wheelbase of 2,730 mm, a width of 1,801, and a height of 1,425 mm for the RWD models and 1,440 mm for the AWD model.
Curbweights run from 1,565 kg for the 250 RWD, to 1,599 for the 350 RWD, to 1,656 for the 250 AWD.
Payne says prices for all models will be set closer to the new model's on-sale date this fall.
