Lexus IS250 aka Altezza


Well, I'm not really into Lexus, besides the LFA, but I find the IS250 is a decent car though. IS250(to be exact, Toyota Altezza RS200, chassis code SXE10) has been featured in Initial D, driven by Nobuhiko Akiyama(the brain behind Northern Saitama alliance).

Just like any high-performance cars, it comes with FR layout, as well as AWD layout as well.

The price for a standard IS250 in Malaysia is RM282,403.30 for standard trim & RM313,183.30 for the luxury trim.

The features are:

Wiper Sensor for the luxury trim, 0-100 in 8.4 seconds at the top speed of 225km/h, LED Lamps for more energy savings, Double Wishbone for more precise steering, Power Rear Sunshade & relatively low drag coefficient of 0.28 Cd(compared to Prius's 0.25Cd).
