the
2011
IS line
Since its inception more than 20 years ago, our pursuit of perfection has
resulted in craftsmanship, innovation and ownership experiences that
continue to raise the bar for the industry. And now, with the 2011 IS Line,
we offer three exhilarating ways to help you take the lead.

of three.
There is only one thing more impressive than the performance
of an IS: the number of models there are to choose from.
The original racing-inspired IS 250 and IS 350 sport sedans—
both available with all-wheel drive. The uninhibited IS 250
and 350 Convertibles with their swiftly vanishing hardtops. And,
of course, the epitome of high-performance driving, the IS F.
This is the IS Line. Follow no one.

blurring the line
between
action and reaction.
When you’re behind the wheel of a sport sedan, you have zero
tolerance for delays. That’s why the IS F features a sophisticated
two-stage intake system that delivers the torque you need
off the line, with plenty of power at higher speeds. And every
IS features dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence,
which continuously optimizes both the intake and exhaust valve
timing for optimum thrust across the engine’s entire RPM range.
Of course, the true test of any sport sedan—or convertible coupe,
for that matter—is its 0-to-60 time. The IS 350 can get you there
in a mere 5.6 seconds.1,2 And the IS F? A scenery-blurring 4.6
seconds1,2—about as close as you can get to instant gratification.
IS shown with available equipment.
All-Wheel Drive
For a more dynamic feel during normal driving conditions,
70% of the engine power is delivered to the rear wheels and 30%
to the front. On slicker road surfaces, wheel power can
be distributed up to 50/50 for enhanced traction and control.

the road.
intimately.
Anyone who has battled the dips and turns of a remote road can attest to the benefits of all-wheel drive.
And now, both the IS 250 and the IS 350 are available with this sure-footed feature. Engine power is
automatically routed to the wheels that have the most grip, resulting in greater adherence to the road—
no matter the driving conditions. Of course, this isn’t the only engineering feat that helps the IS stay
on track. Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM)3 uses a sophisticated network of sensors to
help anticipate a skid—before it actually occurs. It then orchestrates steering, braking, Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC)3 and Traction Control (TRAC) to help maintain that feeling of being one with the road.

warranty
Four-year/50,000-mile Lexus Limited Warranty. Six-year/70,000-mile Powertrain Warranty. Six-year/unlimited-mileage Corrosion Perforation Warranty.
All warranties with zero deductible. See the IS, IS C or IS F Warranty and Services Guides at your Lexus dealer for details.
1. Ratings achieved using the required premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. If premium fuel is not used, performance will decrease. 2. Performance figures are for
comparison only and were obtained with prototype vehicles by professional drivers using special safety equipment and procedures. Do not attempt. 3. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Vehicle
Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) are electronic systems designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. They are not substitutes for safe driving practices.
Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC and VDIM will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further
details. 4. Class based on Luxury Coupe, Hardtop Convertible segmentation, retractable hardtop competitors. 5. Obey all traffic laws and drive responsibly. 6. High-friction brakes require periodic
inspection and measurement as outlined in the Warranty and Services Guide. The pads and rotors are expected to experience greater wear than conventional brakes. Pad life may be less than
20,000 miles, and brake rotor life may be less than 50,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. 7. 17-in, 18-in and 19-in performance tires are expected to experience greater tire wear than
conventional tires. Tire life may be substantially less than 20,000 miles (17-in) or 15,000 miles (18-in and 19-in), depending on driving conditions. 8. F Sport Performance Equipment are aftermarket
parts and are not Genuine Lexus Parts and, therefore, may not be used in any application that requires the use of Genuine Lexus Parts. F Sport Performance Equipment installed by dealer is
warranted for 12 months from the date of installation or for the balance of the new-car or Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) warranty in force at the date of installation, whichever is greater, when installed
by an authorized Lexus dealer. F Sport Performance Equipment installed by anyone other than an authorized Lexus dealer is warranted for 12 months from the date of purchase only, and the
warranty coverage is limited to the replacement value of the F Sport Equipment. These warranties do not cover maintenance services such as replacement of brake pads/linings and clutch linings.
These warranties do not cover maintenance fees such as noise, vibration, cosmetic conditions and other deterioration caused by normal wear and tear. Part failure caused by improper installation by
anyone other than an authorized Lexus dealer may void the F Sport Equipment warranty, the new-vehicle warranty or both. F Sport is a trademark of Toyota Motor Corporation. Products available
through participating Lexus dealers. 9. With either the front- or rear-brake upgrade, the compact spare tire cannot be used. In the event of a flat, the tire must be repaired or replaced. 10. Mark
Levinson is a registered trademark of Harman International Industries, Inc. 11. Lexus Enform and Safety Connect are available. Contact with the Lexus Enform and/or Safety Connect response center
is dependent upon the telematics device being in operative condition, cellular connection availability, navigation map data and GPS satellite signal reception, which can limit the ability to reach the
response center or receive emergency support. Enrollment and Telematics Subscription Service Agreement required. One-year trial subscription available only with new vehicle purchase of Lexus
Enform– and Safety Connect–equipped vehicles. Additional subscription terms available; charges vary by subscription term selected. 12. Lexus Enform premium services Destination Assist and
eDestination will function in the contiguous United States. These services may also function in Hawaii and limited areas of Alaska for vehicles that contain map data for those states. They will not
function in Canada or in other countries outside the United States. 13. The Safety Connect services Automatic Collision Notification, Emergency Assistance and Stolen Vehicle Location will function
in the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska, and in Canada; Enhanced Roadside Assistance will function in the United States (except for Hawaii) and in Canada. No Safety Connect services
will function outside of the United States in countries other than Canada. 14. 2011 EPA-estimated mileage. Actual mileage will vary. 15. Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage
of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and road conditions. 16. Run-flat tire technology
is designed for limited emergency use only. If air pressure is lost, vehicle speed must remain below 55 mph; cornering, braking and accelerating must be done with extreme caution; and the tire should
be replaced within 100 miles. Please see your Lexus dealer for details. 17. TORSEN® is a registered trademark of Zexel Torsen, Inc. 18. Availability and accuracy of the information provided by the
Navigation System or any XM services mentioned (if installed) are dependent upon many factors. Use common sense when relying on information provided. Services not available in every city or
roadway. Periodic Navigation updates available at additional cost. Please see your Navigation System Owner’s Manual or contact XM for details. 19. The backup camera does not provide a
comprehensive view of the rear area of the vehicle. You should also look around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance. Cold weather will limit effectiveness and
view may become cloudy. 20. The Bluetooth technology phones listed on lexus.com have been tested for compatibility with Lexus vehicles. Performance will vary based on phone software version,
coverage and your wireless carrier. Phones are warranted by their manufacturer, not Lexus. 21. XM services require a subscription after trial period. Subscriptions governed by XM Customer
Agreement available at xmradio.com. If you decide to continue your XM service at the end of your complimentary trial, the plan you choose will automatically renew and bill at then-current rates
unless you call 1-800-967-2346 to cancel. Fees and programming subject to change. Available only to those at least 18 years of age in the 48 contiguous United States and D.C. 22. Coverage
only available in the continental U.S. and Canada. Please see your Lexus dealer for details. 23. Continuous average power, all channels driven, at less than 0.1% THD; 20–20,000 Hz.24. The PreCollision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.
System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, driver input and road conditions. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information. 25. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is
designed to assist the driver and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving practices. Please see your Owner’s Manual for important instructions and cautions. 26. Currently only available preinstalled on select vehicles. Ask your Dealer Sales Consultant for vehicle application. 27. The SmartAccess system may interfere with some pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. If you have one of
these medical devices, please talk to your doctor to see if you should deactivate this system. 28. The engine immobilizer is a state-of-the-art anti-theft system. When you insert your key into the
ignition switch or bring a SmartAccess fob into the vehicle, the key transmits an electronic code to the vehicle. The engine will only start if the code in the transponder chip inside the key or SmartAccess
fob matches the code in the vehicle’s immobilizer. Because the transponder chip is embedded in the key or SmartAccess fob, it can be costly to replace. If you lose a key or SmartAccess fob, your
Lexus dealer can help. Alternatively, you can find a qualified independent locksmith to perform high-security key services by consulting your local Yellow Pages or by contacting www. aloa.org.
29. iPod is a registered trademark of Apple Inc. All rights reserved. 30. For vehicles without available Navigation System, the Lexus Personalized Settings (LPS) Program is a one-time, complimentary
offer for new vehicles for the first 12 months from the date the vehicle is sold. Vehicles with Navigation System allow the driver to change settings. Please see your Lexus dealer for more information.
31. The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low. For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge; do not rely solely on
the monitor system. Please see your Owner’s Manual for details. 32. All the airbag (AB) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain
conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree,
roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible
and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause
serious injury or death. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information/warnings. 33. Cover stock is composed of 10% post-consumer waste.
