Lexus IS C F-Sport – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nAs much as we’d love to see a convertible version of the pulse-quickening Lexus IS F<\/a>, it doesn’t appear to be in the cards. Instead, Lexus<\/a> is offering up plenty of F-Sport accessories for the IS C<\/a>, including the new IS350C F-Sport Special Edition which goes on sale later this month. Only 100 of these F-tuned droptops will be produced, retailing for $58,375 (including the $875 destination charge).<\/p>\n

Available in either Obsidian or Tungsten Pearl, the F-Sport isn’t any more powerful than a standard IS350, but it includes things like new 19-inch wheels, a front and rear brake upgrade and Blistein shocks. Additionally, new lowering springs set the IS one inch lower to the ground, and a beefier sway bar is in place to aid in better overall handling. Inside, there’s a leather-wrapped shift knob, embroidered floor mats and a numbered badge, all with F-Sport logos, of course.<\/p>\n

While this is all well and good for the IS C, we can’t help but think that, at over $58K, our money would be better spent on a BMW 335i<\/a> or Audi S5<\/a> cabriolet. Still, Lexus buyers looking for a more sporting edge should like the F-Sport touches, and with only 100 units being made, we doubt the automaker will have any trouble moving them off of dealer lots. Hit the jump to read all of the details in the press release.<\/p>\n
