Lexus IS 500

We hope this high-powered IS will be the next Lexus heading our way

Text: Automedia / Photos: Automedia November 2006 Taking on BMW’s forthcoming M3 and Mercedes’ future C 63 AMG, the new IS 500 is certainly appreciated by sport-saloon fanatics. We haven't seen or heard much about it lately, but it appears as though the V8-powered Lexus IS 500 is still an ongoing project. This prototype spotted on the Nurburgring is clearly no ordinary IS 350 given its deep front air dam, extra large boot lid spoiler and two pairs of exhaust pipes. On top of that, we just heard a rumour that the new LS 460 will be the first Lexus with a fully defeatable electronic stability control system.
