    Lexus sent engineers to US car shows when developing the 5.0L V8 with Yamaha. They determined that people like engines that rev at 400 Mhz to evoke a sense of orderliness and refinement, and then at 800 Mhz on WOT as you approach the redline so as to evoke a sense of euphoria and excitement like what you'd feel on a rollercoaster. And I have to say--it works!

    Long live ICE! This might be one of the last great gas sports sedans. I currently have a 367hp Mercedes C55 AMG which is very much in the mode of the IS500 F. C55 is 3600 pounds so relatively nimble. Glad to see the IS500 F is under 3900 pounds so this would be a very useful bump in hp per pound over my C55. And the IS has port injection and no auto stop start. I want one...bad.

    Beautiful car. Toyota/Lexus is really a wonderful car. The 500 series are incredible with speed, performance and luxury. I’ve owned many over the years and loved every one. The RC was my favorite ♥️
