With the launch of the IS convertible, rumors started almost immediately that Lexus might build a high-performance F version of the retractable hard-top. Now it appears those hoping for such a drop-top beast will get their wish.
According to a report by Car & Driver, a convertible version of the IS-F will be due out in 2011.
In our recent review of the IS250 C (http://www.autoguide.com/manufacturer/lexus/2010-lexus-is250-c-first-drive-1144.html) we noted a definite lack of excitement due mostly to the added 400 lbs of weight. The IS350 C proved a significantly more entertaining drive as its 300-plus horsepower 3.5-liter V6 is so over-powered in the sedan form.
