IS-F exhaust tips...fully functional after all?

Autospies:

"While previous reports have surfaced showing pre-production placeholders for the upper tips, our test vehicle was full-functional for all four."

Bimmerista · 11-07-2007, 05:48 PM

Sorry but the lower tip looks like a prop (plastic surround).

And even if functional = still ugly.

shragon · 11-07-2007, 06:29 PM

maybe toyota went back and revised it since so many people were talking shit about it.

hks786 · 11-07-2007, 06:43 PM

That was the pre-production model. It had stickers on it saying so.

just4kickz · 11-07-2007, 07:29 PM

im sorry that quad set up is silly

sillygoat · 11-07-2007, 08:05 PM

ya i dont know about that exhaust setup but in SEMA... the IS-F looked pretty clean

hks786 · 11-07-2007, 09:29 PM

I'm glad you posted the 5 Axis IS-F. I think as a CONCEPT it's perfect. I think they just need to make the bumpers more solid looking and maybe make the car a little less wide. That would be amazing. Also, I think the hood vents are in a great position and would look better if they were smaller. I still dont really like the overall bulge of the hood though.

just4kickz · 11-07-2007, 10:31 PM

i like the IS... and the ISF... but the exhaust arrangement isnt classy

younghov85 · 11-07-2007, 10:34 PM

Car is gonna be sick. Just not too race oriented, but still nice.

vAnt826 · 11-08-2007, 12:05 AM

They are still attached to the bumper which is a very big NONO. No one liked it on the Celica, I doubt anyone would like it in a $50k car.

Yeah I don't think they can do anything about the power bulge, as the V8 stick up so much from the designed-for-V6 engine compartment.

Maybe rather than a smooth bulge/mound on the hood, they can make it an more aggressive... show off that "power dome" somehow.

props to Lexus if they really revised the quad exhaust to be truly functional...but the design is still UGLY AS SIN. i would never drive a car with exhaust tips that looked like that. hell, this is worse than the "overlapping bubble" tips that came as an option on 996 Carreras.

ChaneRZ · 11-08-2007, 04:11 PM

don't like the exhaust.

Exactly, they just sit behind the actual exhaust exits that are forward of the rear bumper, it makes no sense.

BoostedBMW · 11-08-2007, 07:01 PM

I just saw this car in motortrend today, and i'm not a big fan of the exhaust.

Robert · 11-08-2007, 08:47 PM

The car is quite discrete in person. It's not as dramatic and hideous in person.

I've heard a lot of people saying this. Personally I'd replace the quads with the same design but only ONE exhaust on each side. I'm not a fan of the hood bulge, the rest is good though!

sillygoat · 11-09-2007, 02:17 AM

finally found the other IS-F pix

check out the exhaust on this one... it looks better but its not my style.

vAnt826 · 11-09-2007, 03:05 AM

Why is the fender so wide but the offset on the wheel is so weak....

GTAutoConcepts · 11-09-2007, 03:41 AM

when does this car come out? i want one.
