Paging Santa! 2008 Lexus IS-F Roars Into Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog

Posted in : Lexus

(added few years ago!)
Last year's Neiman Marcus BMW M6s sold out in 92 seconds. The price tag of $139,000 on the 50 M6s with custom ruby black exterior paint didn't seem to deter Christmas shoppers. We're predicting a similar scenario later this month when the first of the Lexus brand's high-performance cars goes up for sale. The first 50 production Lexus IS-F models will be set aside for the Neiman Marcus catalog.The 2008 Lexus IS-F churns out 400 horsepower from its 5.0-liter V8 and sprints from zero to 60 mph in less than 4.9 seconds. The engine is mated to an eight-speed Sport Direct Shift gearbox. The Neiman Marcus Lexus IS-F gets decked out in an obsidian black exterior with perforated black leather-trimmed sport seats, white accent stitching, a unique steering wheel with white leather accents, and front headrests embossed with the "F" logo. Other goodies include a Mark Levinson CD/DVD sound system with navigation and Bluetooth.The Lexus also comes with a half day of pro driver training at the Skip Barber Racing School, including travel and accommodations. The number to call to order is (888) 747-4504.If the Lexus slips away from you in the crush on October 18, you may want to consider some of the other over-the-top Neiman Marcus items. They include a $2 million Rocket Racing League Team, which the retailer describes as "the world's first aerospace racing league," or a $73,000 Vertu Signature diamond phone with 7.2 carats of white and pink diamonds.
