Lexus IS-F Engine: Topless and Naked
Lexus IS-F Engine: Topless and Naked-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:21

I mentioned in today's of the IS-F review that if you remove the engine cover you're, "Looking at Darth Vader's chest plate, an expansive jumble of wires, black boxes and even more wires." Well, I wasn't kidding. More after the jump.

That's, uh, me, holding the rubber engine cover. Notice the big "F" badge. Also, Packers: 7-1!

Crazy detail. Just crazy. Kids, don't try to work on this at home. That sound you hear? Danio's head popping.

And oh hell yes, Murilee and I rolled up in a Lexus Prototype at the . That's just how we roll.

At $12,900, Has This Rebuilt-Titled 2016 Ford Focus “ST” Sedan Been Built for a Quick Sale?
At $12,900, Has This Rebuilt-Titled 2016 Ford Focus “ST” Sedan Been Built for a Quick Sale?
If you’ve wanted a Ford Focus ST then you’re likely resigned to driving a hatch. Today’s candidate is, amazingly enough, a saloon. It’s a custom job and carries a rebuilt title. Let’s figure out what that might be all about. Much debate was had over last Friday’s , most...

Fix Overcrowded Roads by Driving the Tiniest Fiat
Fix Overcrowded Roads by Driving the Tiniest Fiat
Say it’s the mid-1970s and you drive the heavy traffic streets of Roma, Italia every day. The streets are filled with gigantic Fiat X1/9s, Alfasuds, and old Autobianchi Bianchinas. These four-wheeled pleasure barges are clogging your good city streets with excessive size and engine displacement. You need something smaller...

The 2015 Land Rover Defender Is So Bad at So Many Things But I Still Love It
The 2015 Land Rover Defender Is So Bad at So Many Things But I Still Love It
The late-model Land Rover Defender is a wildly enticing forbidden fruit we got to sample briefly here in America. It’s a fruit we’re still craving, So I leapt at the chance to drive one around Iceland for a few days, even though my driving route might have been the worst...

At $16,995, Could This 2010 BMW X5 M Twin Turbo put the Sport in Your Utility?
At $16,995, Could This 2010 BMW X5 M Twin Turbo put the Sport in Your Utility?
You might consider BMW offering SUVs as the height of blasphemy, but there’s no arguing that monster wagons like today’s X5 M embody the Bavarian marque’s sporting heritage. Let’s see if this twin-turbo monster’s price is yet another heresy. It’s a true fact that if pressured to be competent...

At $9,950, Will This 1971 Porsche 914 Chalon Prove a Challenge to Sell?
At $9,950, Will This 1971 Porsche 914 Chalon Prove a Challenge to Sell?
While Hans Christian Andersen’s ugly duckling did turn into a beautiful swan, the same transformation can perhaps not be said for today’s 914 with its Mitcom Chalon body kit. Its beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but will its price be as well? America is a...

At $1,600, Could This 1994 Honda CB250 Nighthawk Make You Ready for a new Adventure?
At $1,600, Could This 1994 Honda CB250 Nighthawk Make You Ready for a new Adventure?
The seller of today’s Honda has taken a ‘City Bike’ and turned it into a country adventurer. Could that incongruous combination add up to a great deal? Unsurprisingly, yesterday’s 2 garnered some well-earned skepticism. Dodgy in the details, and a bit rough around the edges, that intriguing concept couldn’t...
