The updated IS 500 F Sport Performance is here to drive and Lexus has brought the V8 power. Under the hood is a 5.0L V8 that is churning out 472HP & is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. On the outside you will notice a power bulge hood, 19in Enkei wheels, and stacked exhaust. On the inside you will discover high level materials, and updated infotainment screen, and digital gauge cluster. Is the 2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance a sport sedan WORTH the PRICE?

$61k is not bad for top trim.... But let's be honest the dealer markup will be stupid on these.

@@redzoom7857 well I hope you're right because it seems every dealership is marking up any performance oriented car these days.

This is a much, much smaller car than a TLX-S. Owned an IS350 for a few years. It was OK. It was too slow. This sounds like a lot of fun.

@DM72513 3 года назад

Another dagger in the heart of the Acura TLX Type S at the Base trim ($56k). I wish the car had launch control but I have to assume that 0-60 is better than claimed. This car from a roll is probably much faster.

@RaY_77W 3 года назад

Base type s price is 52K u can only get it to 56k if it has every option and accessory available or a dealer mark up. And the car does have launch control it just isn’t bragging about it… yes I agree the car falls short in performance from factory but Honda mobile mechanic did a simple inlet tube upgrade and a Dow pipe and it can now do 13.0 to 12.8/9. Now imagine when a tunes get out? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R2UhjamJtrk.html Oh and the 0-60 of the is500 is definitely better than claimed. More like 4.3-4.0

@doughboy5858 3 года назад

@@RaY_77W yeah some reviewers have timed it at 4.3 the RC F is at 3.9 & this car isn’t that much heavier

@Nate-Aims 3 года назад

@@doughboy5858 this car is only slower due to a smaller rear tire. I bet it will be on par with the rcf once you put a wider tire on.

@doughboy5858 3 года назад

@@Nate-Aims yeah definitely, I think it can definitely get under 4 seconds with the right tuning as well. Idk if I would add anything aftermarket because it’s pretty great as it is. Not to mention with the rear slip differential it’s a beast at drifting
