LS 460 2007 - world car of the year

ISF

Sports seats cornering support

Sculpted front and rear seating ensures maximum support when cornering at higher speeds. 8-way power adjustable front seats mean your perfect seat position is right at your fingertips, and can later be recalled via the memory switch. Front seats are heated for comfort in cooler conditions.

Ultra Soft Semi Aniline leather

Even the leather was finished through a more rigorous process, making it soft to the touch and supremely comfortable. Each seat bears the distinctive 'F' logo stitched in blue thread, reminding you of the IS F's origins at Fuji Speedway.

Glare free Optitron instrumentation

Whatever the ambient light conditions, Optitron instrumentation delivers information with optimum clarity.

Sports steering wheel

For a more gripping ride, the leather clad sports steering wheel not only feels more precise. The Electric Power Steering (EPS) system offers you a choice of 'Sports' and 'Normal' power assistance settings, for a linear steering response and instant feedback.

Paddle shifting for the control of a manual

With the transmission in either 'D' or 'M' mode, you can change gears like a manual, without your hands leaving the steering wheel. You can let the engine rev higher before up-shifting, or down shift sooner for increased engine braking effect. 'M' mode gives you all out sports performance with reduced shift shock for smoother acceleration.

Mark Levinson audio performance

With 14 speakers fed by a 300 watt, 10 channel amplifier, it's not just the engine that delivers a powerful sound. The audio system, by renowned audiophile designer Mark Levinson, boasts a 6-disc CD/DVD player that also lets you enjoy DVD movies while stationary.

Touch screen EMV display

The highly intuitive Electro Multi Vision (EMV) display on the console is your primary information resource. While extremely advanced, it is very simple to use. The 7 inch colour display lets you access many of the IS F's advanced systems, including the Satellite Navigation and inbuilt Bluetooth technology.

Bluetooth™ /MP3 player compatible

Having first registered your compatible Bluetooth phone, you can make and receive calls via the EMV touch-screen display, via switches on the steering wheel or by simple voice commands. The audio system also allows you to plug in MP3/WMA-compatible portable media players.

DVD-based Satellite Navigation

To get you there via the most direct route, an advanced Satellite Navigation system is accessed by the EMV display. It displays visual maps or guides you via spoken commands so your eyes can remain fixed on the road ahead.
