Car introduction
The new Lexus IS 500 F SPORT, American version, features a 5.0 V8 engine with 472 HP and 535 Nm of torque. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h is achieved in 4.4 seconds. It comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission that offers paddle shifters. The 2UR-GSE engine, co-developed with Yamaha, uses lightweight and durable materials, reducing its weight to 222 kg. The F Sport version further enhances the driving excitement with several performance upgrades, such as a quad exhaust system with dual-tip exhaust pipes, the Dynamic Handling Package (DHP) with Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), a rear performance damper by Yamaha, and a Torsen limited-slip differential. The IS 500 F Sport pays homage to the legendary Lexus LFA by using the same sliding mechanical-digital gauge cluster. The IS has been ranked by J.D. Power as the best car of 2023 in the premium compact car category.
The vehicle is equipped with a wide range of assistance systems that enhance comfort and safety while driving. The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a set speed and a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. With the 360-degree camera, you gain a complete view of the vehicle’s surroundings, making parking and maneuvering easier. The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) helps keep the vehicle in its lane and alerts the driver of unintentional lane departures. Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warns of vehicles in the blind spot, and the Parking Assistant facilitates parking with the help of sensors and cameras.
The vehicle’s interior combines modern style with classic elements, offering top-tier comfort. The front seats are heated and ventilated, with adjustable height, backrest angle, and lumbar support. Settings can be saved in three memory profiles, and the easy exit function simplifies entering and exiting the vehicle. Additionally, the car features keyless entry and push-button start, a heated multifunction steering wheel, and automatic dual-zone A/C. For music enthusiasts, the premium Mark Levinson audio system offers 17 speakers and a total output of 1800 watts, delivering an exceptional listening experience.
