Providing IS F SPORT customers with a stylish new package that stands out from the crowd, Lexus is taking the Blackline Special Edition and expanding upon it for 2020. Limited to 900 total units, the 2020 IS F SPORT Blackline Special Edition will now be available in rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive IS 350 F SPORT models, in addition to the IS 300 F SPORT RWD and AWD models.

The Blackline Special Edition turns down the lights on key exterior and interior parts to create a special edition IS package that stands out from the standard F SPORT models. Eyes will be drawn to the F SPORT 18-inch, split spoke wheels that feature a black vapor chrome finish. The stylish, smoky wheel treatment is complemented with a black chrome front grille surround along with black exterior mirrors. The IS F SPORT Blackline Special Edition will be available in three exterior colors that include Obsidian, Ultra White, and Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0.

The darkened theme continues as you step inside. Exclusive black-and-gray seats are featured throughout, which are accented with Indigo Blue stitching to provide a cool, subtle contrast on the knee pads, dash, and door trim. The driver will appreciate the Indigo Blue accents on the heated wood steering wheel, which is accompanied by Indigo Blue accents on the door switch panels and glove box.

Each IS 300 F SPORT and IS 350 F SPORT Blackline Special Edition will come equipped with triple-beam LED headlamps, Navigation System and Blind Spot Monitor.
