Sporty New Lexus hits the UK

Lexus has unveiled the sporty new IS 250 SR. This addition to the line-up comes with a full body kit and 17-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels on the outside. On the inside, aluminium scuff plates and pedals add subtle visual enhancements on the inside while heated front seats are also fitted as standard.
According to the maker the IS 250 SR is designed to deliver some of the sporting allure of the IS F and IS 250 Sport at a high value price. Based on the entry-level IS 250, the new model is packed with features that have a combined customer value of more than £3,500, yet the price tag is less than £1,000 greater model-for-model.
Standard features include 10 airbags, climate control, cruise control, smart keyless entry and engine start and sequenced LED interior lighting.
Power comes from a 204bhp 2.5-litre V6 petrol engine, which means the IS 250 SR will accelerate from rest to 62mph in 8.1 seconds (8.4 with the optional six-speed automatic transmission) and progress to a top speed in excess of 140mph.
The car goes on sale from May 19, and is priced from £24,990 for the manual transmission and £25,800 for the automatic gearbox.
