Lexus tries to spice up the IS saloon and unveils a new sport pack called SR for the IS 250 model that takes inspiration from the IS F.
The IS 250 SR is designed to deliver some of the sporting allure of the IS F and offers combined customer value of more than £3,500 for less than £1,000. This sporty addition to the IS range comes with a full body kit and 17in 10-spoke alloy wheels on the outside. Aluminium scuff plates and pedals add subtle visual enhancements on the inside. Heated front seats are also fitted as standard.
Standard equipment includes 10 airbags, climate control, cruise control, smart keyless entry and engine start and sequenced LED interior lighting. Owners can specify five-spoke 18-inch Tsuki rims.
Powered by a 204bhp 2.5-litre V6 petrol engine, the IS 250 SR will accelerate from rest to 62mph in 8.1 seconds and reach a top speed in excess of 140mph.
Three exterior colours are available: Velvet Black and Cadoxton Slate and Argento Ice metallic finishes. All are available with the same interior treatment, a Worcester Black interior fabric trim. The IS 250 SR costs £24,990 with the manual gearbox and £25,800 for the automatic version.
