torres Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 A preview on the new 420bhp high-performance IS500 model from Lexus. It gives a detailed insight on the features and performance of the 60.000$ car, the competition it will have to take (against BMW M3 (E90), Audi RS4, Mercedes C55 AMG), as well as a bit of Lexus IS history. A nice gallery of high-res photos and artist's impressions accompany the article, make sure you check them out ;) "The new high-performance Lexus will be called IS500, will equip a 420 bhp V8 engine [...] will probably feature a detuned version of the 5.0L V8 currently in development for the LF-A supercar production version [...]" Here's the whole article: http://www.topspeed.com/cars/lexus/lexus-i...ew-ar12161.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denslexusgx470 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 For some reason, I think the photo is photoshopped. I think the IS500 is a 2-door sedan, isn't it? I've seen reviews of it in a car magazine (don't remember which one) but I really think it's a two door car. :whistles: :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 lol actually, its hard to tell whether or not its going to be a sedan or coupe. Edmunds just did an article on this, its on their front page. Looks like its going to be four doors, but lexus is very secretive. check it out www.edmunds.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
