Imagine if Lexus had just for once offered this engine with a 6MT. My next request would’ve been a rear biased AWD system for all weather traction. Shame we will never get a modern V8 Lexus manual sport sedan
@@royshavrick the automatic is boring AF. This car has more power than any of its competitors but is the slowest accelerating, gets the worst fuel economy, and is the only one not offered in an AWD model.
Reading the nonsense comments about these mid size sedans hitting speeds nearing 200 mph with limiter removed have no sense in aerodynamics, elevation, ambient temperature, and drag and its impact on a car being able to reach those speeds. You would need about 600 hp along with perfect conditions to hit speeds nearing 200 mph.
Definitely good performance car. The 0-60 is about 4.4 and 12.5 quarter mile stock. This car is a bit light on torque though at “only” 395ft-lbs. Comparatively equal to the BMW M340i even though that car is all around faster ( 0-60 in 3.9 and 12 for quarter mile ). V8 to V8 wise the M550 be the closest thing even though that v8 is turbo, also dramatically more expensive vs IS500.
The engine is incredible, and besides the fact that it never wants to downshift into the lowest gear it can the transmission is actually seems pretty good to me. If you want to go fast you just have to shift manually, which doesn't bother me too much.
I have a '23 IS 500 sport premium in the Atomic silver and black rims.... I get LOTS of people "trying" to take me off the line. Sometimes when I do respond, I hit it and S M O K E them! Almost always they'll come up to me and give me a thumbs up. One guy rolled down his window and said WOW. This car looks very cool but not like an LC500 so I think they're not expecting it when you do smash down the gas. Its so much fun, I love this car.
If the IS500 has a better trans and an oil & trans cooler it would have sold like crazy! Seriously what going on at Lexus you cant offer a V8 and not put coolers on board. One of the reasons i didn't buy one
If you're gonna pull boy, then pull! That's a V8 you got there under the hood. You're not meant to tap the gas like an old lady at a tea party. Stomp on it, son! Put the pedal to the metal, and let the beast roar!
Better than a Mustang
Definietely had more, 150mph is a low limiter.
There's too many potholes where I like. Even doing 100 mph is sketchy. Without a governor, this car can do 170 which is insane
I know his face was red af
In a cloud of dust
wait , why 150. it should go up to 168, no ?
That car can go way faster without that speed limiter on it.
i need to know where this road is
That is one straight and scary road

I feel the auto suits this car more

@@CFG39 remember Lexus is not about speed. it's about comfort and luxury over everything else. if you drive one I think you will see it truly shows.
got mine 6/23 & love it so far 😈
Not to fast
You were about 15 mph under top speed but very nice nonetheless

There is old isf that did Around 195 In Saudi Arabia

وربي انك حمار. ايش الفايدة من الفديو وانت مغبش الدنيا كلها
Orange on rev meter looks sick
one of the best sounding n/a v8 engines
A deer 🦌 comes out and y’all dead
All fun and games till a deer jumps out
It could hit 170+
Bro my 2018 accord goes 180 easily why this shit struggling???
God i love these toyota engines if had a choice i wouldve traded in my challanger scatpack widebody for the RCF but then i will miss it
And the Lexus will still be going strong at 300k miles, ISF will be my next car.

Might have to trade up my 17’ 350 for one of these😭
Nah nah nah i topped out at 140 in my is350 you can do better
Damn 151 mph nice!
I own a is500 myself i dont regret it but im thinking about tuning it
Man I love Lexus

Awesome!
Damn that sounds ❤
What a death trap! I wouldnt go that fast unless it had f sport package!
it does 💀

beautiful machine
Are those the triple beam lights ?
Yes, those are the triple beams.
Only if they didn’t had limitation on it it would have it 200mph
It saying it’s fake but it sure looks like a video game from the looks of the road 😂
Mehh…. I’ll stick with lighter IS-F
I'm probably guessing this was from Whidbey island?
Haha, Sarasota FL actually. Makes sense for Whidbey though
Does it come awd?
i would never do this with forests on both sides...
You should change the title to Top Speed Attempt.
along came a deer........
Thank god no annoying shift noise anymore
What year was this is 500? Was it the F sport performance?
Don’t know why tf this engine isn’t in the LS!!
Why no mph 😂
my stock g70 sound more agresive and top speed is 167 mph
