Re: Lexus IS500

Is that a real car..or a PS.. i like the exhaust.. pagani inspired..

PS
Are they joking:
Most likely it is powered by a 4.3 litre V8 32 valve engine delivery approximately 300 HP.This car is set to become a rival against models like BMW M3 and Mercedes CLK 55 AMG.

Re: Lexus IS500

It's a photo chop but for your information lexus has an M3/RS4 killer in progress. The car will push 400hp+ and there are allready pictures of it blazing around the ring with cammo tape.

Re: Lexus IS500

This car will be rounding about 380hp. Nothing less will be expected from this size engine.

Re: Lexus IS500

Here are pictures of the beast under testing:

The air vents on the hood suggests that the car is going to be pretty powerful and testing in around the ring sugessts that Lexus really want to challange ze Germans. It is said to be called the IS460. 4.6L V8 ,aight?
