Why was the Lexus ISF discontinued?

Why was the Lexus ISF discontinued?
The Lexus ISF was discontinued for several reasons. One of the main factors was its relatively low sales figures. Over the course of its seven-year run from 2007 to 2014, Lexus only managed to sell around 11,000 units of the ISF. This lack of popularity and demand likely contributed to the decision to discontinue the model.
Additionally, the introduction of other high-performance models by Lexus, such as the RC-F coupe, made the ISF obsolete. The RC-F, which is essentially a high-performance coupe version of the all-new IS, became the new option for customers seeking a sporty and powerful Lexus vehicle.
Furthermore, there have been reports that Lexus is gradually moving away from V8 engines and focusing on meeting Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. This shift in strategy may have influenced the decision to discontinue the ISF.
It’s worth noting that there have been rumors and speculation about the potential return of the ISF in the future. Some sources suggest that Lexus may introduce a new generation ISF based on the next-generation IS platform. However, these reports should be taken with caution as they are not confirmed.
In summary, the discontinuation of the Lexus ISF can be attributed to its relatively low sales, the introduction of other high-performance models, and a potential shift in Lexus’ engine strategy to meet fuel economy standards.
