2008 Lexus IS-F Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Well ever since I did the video on the 2011 IS-F I have been on a search for the famous ultrasonic blue mica that had been featured in all the original press releases for the IS-F upon it's release. Plus I wanted a more smooth orchestrated video that taught viewers a little more about the history behind the car, my search is over and I hope everyone enjoys! In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2008 Lexus IS-F. This car is also part of the vast hendrick performance collection. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
Thanks a lot to Hendrick BMW of Charlotte, NC for allowing me to film this video! For more info on this vehicle as well as others visit www.hendrickbmw.com

Pretty much every Lexus ever made was ahead of its time. But yes it is especially true for the ISF. Absolutely unreal
I will pick this one over a BMW anytime.

I’ll second that. I’d consider something German for the manual transmission, but that’s it.

i'm throwing my money at the screen.
Ive had my 08 ISF for 5 years now bought it used in 2010 which I got at a steal $42k with 19k miles at the time. Its a very good car still solid performer and have received many compliments over the years. Its a great unique car to own because you hardly ever see another on the road. I can hit 150mph quickly before running out of room. Issues Ive had so far I had to change the front headlight on each side, my front fog lights finally have gotten quite faded so I just replaced them for brand new ones - a dramiatic difference. Also the touch screen on my Navi has stopped working. Radio and climate control work but you have to work with the switches instead not the touch screen. Want a fast car with style dont buy something new get a used ISF. Also I take the older style ISF over the new GSF thats coming out although its got 467hp Update 2021: I still have the ISF so 11 year ownership & a few years ago I changed the fluid in the rear diff, transmission, and Navi screen. I was going to stay with Lexus unfortunately they failed to impress and come up with anything better than what they already have with the V8 so I have switched to a BMW M6 which what I was hoping lexus would do a v8 twin turbo & I think it would sell tremendously. Best wishes to anyone staying with Lexus its still a great car 🙏

How's the ride? Heard the early ISFs had SUPER stiff rides that were really uncomfortable but they updated the suspension in 2010 or 2011.

Watching these review videos makes me love my isF even more!!! Super hard to find but if you come across one, Get it! You will be in love while you gap people on the freeway😂😂
thank you for being so consistent in your videos. you are always so informative and detailed and it really helps people who are looking for which car to buy next
When I came back from deployment, I was in the market for a car and I was looking for this car or an E92, but was unable to find either, so I opted for. 2010 Audi S4 prestige, but still looking for this car, so after this deployment I will be looking to trade my S4 in for this car if can find one in my area.
Absolutely the best review I have ever seen online!
Ah, back before Lexus's grills got outta hand, I think this looks just fine, not overly styled like nowadays.

Their grills on the sedans look fine, especially with how they flow with the design. SUVs with them is debatable for sure
Love it!!!! One of my favorite cars uploaded the day before my birthday!
Gorgeous Car! Love the blue exterior! and black interior goes perfect w it. amazing vehicle
These are the types of reviews KZreadrs want to see. Keep up the great work.
Great stuff! What a beautiful color! Great video as always Kyle!
Some of the best video reviews on youtube.
Yo I just found out that this car existed, this car is the ultimate sleeper, it’s just as good as the m3 without the German maintenance, how did this car not blow up in sales? sad to see it didn’t sell well.

How did it not blow up in sales? Simple. Japanese have this habit of building some of the best sleepers in the world and then never marketing them properly and they just flop. German advertising of sleeper cars is just a lot better
Excellent review straight forward, covers exactly what I needed to know!...better than any "fancy" car show on TV ! hahaha! Doing a great review job, keep them coming!
Such a beautiful car omg
Very nice your video man! Thanks for the details! No find much vídeos like that!
Incredible car, one of the best sounding engines in the world right now.
man seriously!!! YOU R THE BEST!!!! BIG FAN,, U SHOULD HAVE UR OWN SHOW LIKE TOP GEAR :P
Great review as always.
Awesome! One of my favorite cars.
This car is a master peace. Rare
I really do love how the interior looks.
You deserve much more than 370k subscribers kyle.
Lexus gang
love this car!
Great car and a good cover of aspects of the car......nice !
Love the intro shots
Pretty clean I have been looking into purchasing an IS-F for a while
lovely IS
that's the most beautiful sound!! *___*
Nice vcamming... smooth n intuitive
Love this car
Love Lexus!! And these is my number1!!
Excellent video.
It's a brilliant thing he does. Some people are interested in such things.
Nice one Kyle! Thanks :)
Def a must have rare car ! I love the ISF
Can't wait to buy one of these one day
This reminds me of a 2006 IS250AWD that I almost bought a couple of months ago.... I loved that car so much!
Nice reveiew. I wish I could afford one. Love the engine and exhaust notes

The ISF Is one of my favorite cars.
Excellent review, very professional. I'v always thought it funny that the engine crank sound of the ISF is almost identical to the LS460. Of course the engine exhaust note is very different.
OMG beautiful
Good video!
Thats crazy that its a 2008 🤩
To all the people saying its a Camry, stop hatin. Number one its the a Corolla of its class (the ES is the Camry) and it really isnt a fking Camry. The isf is pure beast and much more sophisticated. SO all you are basically saying the S4 is just a Volkswagon passat? No!
i love that car
Damn might go for this over a 2014 is350 f sport
my dream car
I love this guys voice
@Saabkyle04 your reviews are seriously the best. and you're lucky to even be in cars such as the aventador.... or this IS F!
I want this car soooo badd ‼️‼️‼️ if I have to travel out of state I am gonna but this car
Bad ass car!
My dream car! :D
I’ve got a Lexus iS 250: 2007 year and I know this car is 100% better than mine! But saying that for 416 BHP is low for USA! and compare to BMW! But then when we talk about Lexus we are talking about pure driving pleasure And reliability and luxury. thanks for such a lovely video! UK
I I love it when gauges do a sweep like that 🤓😎
Return of the Mac
very nice
Yoan Karaivanov; the song is Mark Morrison's 1997 hit "Return Of The Mack".
this is exactly why my next car will be the RCF. this is a 2008 lexus ISF and this car has more options standard than a 2016 BMW M3.
18:49 - Looks awesome! Thanks for uploading! :-D
i never liked the is-f until now. its too nice
Just picked up an ‘11 ISF two weeks ago!
It's going good, thanks for asking.
I love my ISF :)
Very interesting idling sound
It sucks that Lexus isn't doing so well, this is definitely my favorite car made by them
My first car!
wow great idea with the exoust pipes no idea why we don't see that more.
Driving this car is fun it tends to fish tail like mofo with tc off but it gets up really quick.i have to take it on a 0-60 run for a friend of mine that owns it.
With a r&r racing tune can easily get the quarter mile in low 11's. Supercharge it along with intake and exhaust upgrades and will easily be in low to mid 10's. As with most Lexus traction control can still get in the way even when it's turned off.
That silver stuff on the door panel you mentioned is called texalium (think thats how u spell it) wrap, often used for layers on hockey sticks to dampen vibration. Think of it as a cooler looking kevlar
Im a work at a lexus dealership and they said that if I work there for 3 yrs then I could get one of these for a cheap price
DAMN ! i wanna drive this to school !
great video kyle.jus curious why does every manufacturer do the foot or electronic ebrake now.i miss the old fashioned hand ebrake D:

There is an isf for sale around my house same color year everything....it is so sick! If I get it I will post some videos of driving!
FYI - i believe DSP in the audio function is 'digital signal processing'' not display. Nice review
nice intro!!!!!!!!!!!
I personally would get a RWD too, but an AWD option would also be great since it would give you so much more grip to go faaaaaast!

Please tell me that was the IS-F reving in the beginning of the video.
THE SOUND OF POWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
My mom has a 2010 IS250 AWD thats loaded. And, her newer nav system seems more dated than this. As do the sunroof controls. Although, the power window switches are improved as these 2008 switches look straight out of our 95 Camry haha.
This car looks cool even in 2022
Lexus like these are for those who want reasonably priced, luxurious ride that can be a dd, without worrying about expensive maintenance. I’ve seen plenty of these with 200k plus on the dash still working like new. You don’t see too many amg or m cars on the market in full running conditions on the market
saabkyle might i ask... why did this is-f recieve a nice intro (which im beginning to see you only do to worthy cars *aka the 2008 m5 & the sls*) while the 2011 model didnt get one might there be something special about this one? thanks a bunch and please i beg you review the mercedes c-class or the c63 amg much love (y)
I would love to see u review a Lexus LFA if you can find one. That car has OCD written all over it.
Did I hear return of the mack......nice
1:35 Those BMW mats say everything...
I quite like these, I'd probably have one of these over a BMW M3, not really bothered which is better in terms of performance or handling, I just like these a bit more. Not entirely sure why though.
the 2007-present Lexus IS-F is assembled in Tahara, Aichi, Japan Miyawaka, Fukuoka, Japan
