A V8 sport sedan with a cult following
Drive a IS F
The IS F is a high-performance version of the IS sedan built from 2008 to 2014. It's a standout Lexus rental for drivers who crave V8 character. Its 5.0L V8 pulls with real authority and sounds richer as the revs climb. Book a Lexus IS F car rental on Turo, and you'll understand why enthusiasts still hunt this sedan down.
On Turo, you book your IS F from a local vehicle owner. Choose pickup, or delivery where the listing offers it — options vary by listing. Need to change your plans? Make updates in the Turo app.

Yamaha-tuned V8 power
The IS F's 5.0L V8 makes 416 hp at 6,600 rpm and 371 lb-ft of torque at 5,200 rpm. Yamaha designed its high-flow cylinder heads, and the engine spins all the way to a 6,800 rpm redline. That's a high-revving V8 in a sedan with room for four — and you'll hear every bit of it.
Eight speeds, paddle-ready
An eight-speed Sport Direct-Shift automatic sends the V8's power to the rear wheels. Leave it in drive, and it handles the shifting for you on errands, commutes, and long freeway stretches. It's an easy car to live with when you just want to cruise.
Want a bigger say? Tap the paddle shifters to pick your own gears and stay connected to the engine on a scenic back road. Rear-wheel drive completes the classic sport-sedan recipe: the fronts steer, and the rears push. It's an old-school layout that rewards a smooth, measured right foot.
Brakes and grip built for confidence
Big brakes and smart hardware give you confidence in everyday driving. Up front, Brembo brakes pair 14.2-inch drilled rotors with six-piston calipers. That's serious stopping power for a four-door, and it's reassuring when freeway traffic slows suddenly.
The IS F rides on 19-inch forged BBS wheels. On 2013–2014 models, a Torsen limited-slip rear differential helps put the V8's power down evenly. Together, these parts let you enjoy the car's performance with composure on public roads. Respect the posted limits, and the IS F feels planted, predictable, and ready for whatever the day brings.
Stand out with a IS F
The IS F stands out because it's rare — production ran only from 2008 to 2014, and it's no longer in production. With four seats and a V8, it suits enthusiasts, a weekend drive, a special occasion, or a test run before you buy one. Lexus IS F car rental listings can be limited, so book ahead, or compare more sports car rentals on Turo.
Top IS F features
Racetrack-honed heritage
Three details define the IS F: its racetrack-honed heritage, its signature stacked exhaust, and its status as a modern classic.
The IS F's chassis has a serious pedigree. Lexus tuned it at three of the world's best-known circuits: the Nürburgring, Circuit Paul Ricard, and Fuji Speedway. That development work shaped how the sedan responds to your inputs, long before anyone handed over the keys.
For you, that heritage shows up on ordinary pavement, in the way the car settles into a sweeping on-ramp at legal speeds. Think of it as engineering you can appreciate on your daily route — the backstory behind the badge. It's why enthusiasts still talk about the IS F years after production ended, and why driving one feels like a small piece of history.
Signature stacked exhaust
You'll spot the IS F from behind before you read the badge. Four exhaust outlets sit in the rear bumper, stacked vertically, two per side. It's an instantly recognizable design cue that sets the IS F apart.
That detail makes the IS F a natural for photos, meetups, and arrivals that turn heads. Fellow enthusiasts will know exactly what they're looking at, and the outlets hint at the 5.0L V8 up front. If you've admired this car from afar, the stacked exhaust is the view you'll show off all weekend.
A modern classic worth collecting
The IS F ran from 2008 to 2014, and it's no longer in production. That limited run gives the four-seat sport sedan lasting appeal as a modern classic. The final 2014 models changed little, with updates limited to revised interior trim.
Whichever year you book, you're driving the same core idea: a rear-drive V8 sedan with room for friends. Renting one lets you sample a collectible-minded car without the commitment of ownership. It's an ideal way to scratch an enthusiast itch, mark a milestone, or decide whether an IS F belongs in your own garage someday.

Top tips and things to know before renting a IS F
Get to know your IS F
Plan for four seats, premium fuel, and a rear-drive V8, and your trip will go smoothly. Here's what to know before you book.
The IS F seats four and runs on premium fuel. EPA estimates come in at 16 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined, so budget for fuel stops on longer trips.

IS F driving tips
A few habits help you get the most from the IS F:
Use the paddle shifters or M mode when you want to choose your own gears.
Remember the engine revs to 6,800 rpm, so watch the tachometer.
Ease onto the throttle in wet or cold conditions, since the IS F is rear-wheel drive.
Expect staggered 19-inch tires, with different sizes front and rear.
Fill up with premium fuel at the gas station.
Obey posted speed limits, because excessive speeding is prohibited on Turo.
How much does it cost to rent a IS F?
Prices vary by listing, location, and trip dates, so check each listing for your total before you book. Some listings offer weekly or monthly discounts, which can lower your daily cost on longer trips. Planning a stay of a month or more? Explore long-term car rental options on Turo.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
