2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance bringing byke the V8, 472 HP

[JordanWearinThe45]

The new sport sedan will pack a 472-horsepower, 5.0-liter V8 with 395 pound-feet of torque, making it the spiritual successor to the discontinued Lexus IS F. For those keeping track at home, yes, that's the same V8 Lexus has utilized elsewhere in recent years. It currently powers the RC F coupe and, until last year, was also found under the hood of the larger GS F sedan. Like the BMW M3it matches for power, the Lexus will come standard with rear-wheel drive and a limited-slip differential, making it a true performance machine.

Power will go to the rear end by way of the same eight-speed automatic Lexus uses elsewhere as well. Sorry, folks, there's no stick, but hey, the IS F didn't have one either, so let's not get too picky. The original IS F also offered just 416 horsepower and 371 lb.-ft. of torque, so remember, this is all upside here. The original also launched without the LSD, if you'll remember; that came later.

It’s tried and true Better than nothing. I do wish they would turbo it. A GS F is fire, but since it’s not forced induction you can’t really mod it much to get more power. So 40-50k for a used car w that HP is kinda meh. You can get an RS7 for around the same price & have a rocketship

Will never understand the Lexus hate. Great cars. I can’t see myself getting anything other than another IS when it’s time to upgrade my 2016.

which V8 Lexus (or any other car) do you own

Why not just call it an ISF?

Because the new IS F is being worked on right now and it won't feature the same engine/drivetrain configuration. This is the F Sport Performance segment.
additionally which V8 Lexus do you own

Cause all Japanese car companies dumb as fukk lol.

You all are assuming that the NEW IS F they are working on is going to be a N/A V8. This is a new F Sport Performance model. NOT THE F Performance
so actually no you all are dumb as fukk with a low level of comprehension ability.
