Lexus has announced the "F Sport Mode Black III," a special edition of the IS that will only be sold in Japan. The upgrade package includes a variety of standout features and is available for the Lexus IS350, IS300h, and IS300 F Sport vehicles.
The F Sport Model Black III has a gloss black wing mirrors and matte black forged BBS aluminum wheels. The window surrounds also have a black finish. Titanium Carbide Gray is also used for the car's paint job.
Inside, new black Ultrasuede upholstery, a shift knob branded with the "F Sport" logo, an 8-inch digital instrument display, side curtain airbags for the back passengers, and an automatic slide away and return feature for the driver's seat are all new additions.
Sadly, Lexus hasn't changed anything under the bonnet, thus all F Sport Mode Black III cars are almost identical to their standard versions.
The IS300 version, which starts at $42,856, is the least expensive model in the new Lexus F Sport Mode Black III lineup. The IS300h F Sport Mode Black III with two-wheel drive comes next, costing $46,147, or $49,218 with all-wheel drive, and the IS350 F Sport Mode Black III, costing $51,266.
