The 2011 Lexus IS 350 will launch in Australia in the final quarter of 2010 with the highest specific output of any of its naturally aspirated six-cylinder rivals.
Powered by a 3.5-litre V6 engine, the IS 350 will develop 233 kW, attaining a specific output of 67.4kW per litre - the highest among its competitors and the highest of a petrol engine in the Lexus range.
Not only that, the IS 350 will also feature the greatest torque of any of its naturally aspirated rivals - with 378Nm of torque available at 4800 rpm.
"IS 350, along with CT 200h and other forthcoming product, will continue to grow Lexus' product range and appeal to consumers," said Lexus Australia chief executive Tony Cramb.
"IS 350 is evidence of our moves to widen our product range and close up a few gaps that exist there, with IS 350 slotting nicely between IS 250 and our performance flagship IS F.
"We have no doubt that, with its new 3.5-litre engine and features, IS 350 will be a very popular vehicle," Mr Cramb said.
"We are just as excited about this car as our customers are." he added.
