This 2011 IS  350C Special Edition was designed to engage driving enthusiasts with the performance and styling enhancements from the F Sport accessories line.  This IS 350C, only available in two colors, Starfire Pearl or Obsidian, can be distinguished from other IS convertibles by the following F Sport equipment:

    * Shock set developed in cooperation with Bilstein®;

    * Sway bar set that helps reduce body roll and provide flatter cornering;
    * Bi-Xenon High Intensity Headlamps with LED Daytime Running Lights
    * And exterior badging and a Special Build 2011 interior badge on the center console complete the uniqueness of this vehicle.
The IS 350C F Sport Special Edition also comes with black and red semi-aniline leather-trimmed seats with sporty red stitching.  Other Special Edition standard features include heated and ventilated front seats with wood trim and Lexus Navigation.  The hard disk drive (HDD) navigation system has a seven-inch VGA touch-screen, Bluetooth® phonebook download capabilities, a rear back-up camera, Voice Command casual-language voice recognition system, Lexus Enform, XM® NavTraffic, XM® NavWeather, and XM® Sports and Stocks.  XM services include a complimentary 90-day trial subscription.  It is also features the new telematics system Lexus Enform™ with Safety Connect™ (includes complimentary one-year trial subscription).
