- Lexus will cap the production of these special-edition IS 500 F Sport Performance models at 500 examples.
- This Lexus uses a 472-hp, 5.0-liter V8 to power its rear wheels.
- This Launch Edition comes with a serialized plate in the center console, a special animation on start up, and a limited color selection.
With the end of the line for the internal combustion engines in sight (sort of), and powerful, naturally aspirated V8 engines at the top of the chopping block, we relish the opportunity to celebrate any new models of a possibly dying breed. Enter, the Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance Launch Edition. Yes, it’s a mouthful, but this limited-edition variant is capped at an appropriate 500 examples.
The Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance is essentially the rebirth of the long-gone Lexus IS F. This hopped-up Lexus sports a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 under its hood that makes 472 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque. That power travels through an eight-speed automatic transmission before hitting the rear wheels. This combination is good for zero-to-60 mph in 4.5-seconds. Not bad for a four-door sedan.
Of course, that combination will power every IS 500 F Sport Performance model to leave the Lexus factory; what makes this limited-edition special is that it comes with a serialized plate on the center console. These Launch Editions will also see silver ash wood trim on the steering wheel and two-tone black and grey Ultrasuede covering the seats, door panels, and center console. Lexus will also throw a special Launch Edition animation into the gauge cluster during start-up and will exclusively finish this special model in its new color, “Incognito.”
We don’t yet know how much Lexus wants for the IS 500 F Sport Performance, and this special edition is no exception. This limited-production version will be about as expensive as this Lexus will get. Look for them to start hitting dealers sometime this fall.
