    I think Sam is missing one of the most important factors - although the RS5 has less HP, it critically has more torque, and more importantly its twin turbo makes its peak torque and HP almost throughout the entire rev range. The naturally aspirated V8 in the IS has to get to much higher RPM just to get to its peak power.

      That is not that relevant in a roll race with 8 sp transmissions that allow the Lexus to start the race and stay in a tight rpm range in the power band . I would bet money the Audi is putting out more peak hp than the Lexus at the wheels . Very common among German automakers to underrate hp

    Lexus should be embarrassed. They tout all of the power in the IS500 and preivously in the RC-F and LC500 and none of the cars are close to competitive to their direct rivals. In this case the IS500 completely outpowers the M340i and C43 AMG, but both of those cars handily beat it. The RC-F doesn't even come close to the C63 AMG or previous gen M4 and not even in the same universe as the current M4. The LC500 is probably more competitive, only becuase there are not many direct rivals to it anymore.

I'm sure if this were a full driving experience review of both cars, the natural aspired engine would most likely come up on top. Both force induction and natural aspired engines serve different purposes and when it comes to the driving experience part, n/a engines sound and responsiveness is an experience of its own.

    Lexus needs some massive weight reductions for their cars to be a worthy contender. How do you make a car that heavy and it doesn't have AWD? It's not just the IS500.. the RC F is the same even though the length of it is quite compact, but then again that's not what the cars were made for. It was meant to be a luxurious vehicle with a little sportiness.

      To say, "Lexus needs to have some weight and make a sedan to conquer the M3," means you have no idea how far companies work, and don't understand Lexus.
