Equipped with a 5-liter V-8 engine that generates more than 400 horsepower and over 371 lb-ft of torque, the IS F further showed it was a contender with its wider stance, sports-tuned suspension, and superb brake system.

This includes gas mileage: the IS F delivers a respectable 16 mpg city and 23 mpg on the highway.Starting price for the Lexus IS F is a cool $56,000. Click to read more
