This is the Lexus IS 250 SR, a new model that Lexus has rolled out in advance of the M3-rivalling V8 IS-F to offer a more sporting look for those on a lower budget. ( AC )
Don't get too excited though, underneath the body addenda this is the base IS 250, which packs 204bhp from a 2.5-litre V6 and will go from rest to 62mph in 8.1 seconds.
Priced at ?24,990 in manual guise and ?25,800 as an automatic, the IS 250 SR is only ?1000 more than the base IS 250, and offers full body kit, 17-inch alloys, and a range of three body colours.
Interior additions include aluminium sports pedals, heated front seats, climate control, cruise control, smart keyless entry and black fabric interior. Sales start on 19 May.
