the future IS 250
Posted by Ying Huang on August 9, 2007
National Day afternoon was spent at the Lexus showroom looking at this beast.
The Lexus IS250. The longitudinally mounted 2500cc V6 engine features 4-valves per cylinder actuated by dual overhead camshafts (DOHC) per cylinder bank. The engine block is aluminium, the cylinder heads are aluminium alloy and the compression ratio is a manic 12.0:1. The Lexus IS250 is fitted with a 65 litre fuel tank and will accept 95 RON and higher grades of fuel.
Fuel Consumption: 9.1L/100km (combined)
Max Power: 153kW @ 6400rpm
Max Torque: 252Nm @ 4800rpm
0-100km/h: 8.4 seconds
Max Speed: 225km/h
=D And here’s a shot of the interior.
Sporty stuff. Though the GPS doesn’t come standard with the car. What DOES come with the ones sold in Singapore is a standard Mark Levinson sound system, but without the gorgeous body kit. MUST have the body kit. I’m still deciding between the black and graphite one. We took a look at the colors at the area upstairs which closely resembled something out of Need For Speed Underground!
Either this graphite color with the 2-tone grey interior…
Or the black with the black interior…
I like the black one really…=/ We went to take a look at the BMW 320i as well as a comparison… But quite frankly, it loses out terribly on price, looks and even functionality.
I got to sit in a Lexus 640! It was awesome. And I got to watch this very cool video and mtv thing…
