Lexus IS 350 F Sport gets a Black Edition in PH

Sport sedan enthusiasts, here’s something for you. Lexus Philippines is bringing new life into the IS with the new limited IS 350 F Sport Black Edition.

As if the IS did not look special enough in F Sport form, the Black Edition takes things further with a couple of unique bits to set it apart from the “regular” IS 350 F Sport, probably to extend its life as well while we wait for the heavily updated version.

Unique to the IS 350 F Sport Black Edition are blacked-out 19-inch wheels with black brake calipers, matched with black exterior trim replacing all chrome and silver trim.

Also unique are its Titanium Carbide Gray paint job, a Mark Levinson audio system, black wood trim on the steering wheel, black leather with suede upholstery, and a 360-degree camera.

No mechanical changes have been done under the hood, where you can still find the same 3.5-liter 2GR-FKS naturally-aspirated V6 engine, making 315 horsepower and 380Nm of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.

The Lexus IS 350 F Sport Black Edition is limited to just six units and is priced at Php 4,478,000, which is Php 250,000 more than the regular F Sport. If you’re interested, now is the best time to get one, especially with the IS getting a controversial facelift, which may possibly come to our market next year.
