The pictures you see here are of the 2008 Lexus IS500. Due in dealer showrooms for 2008, this car has one purpose in life. That is to compete against the industry favorite BMW M5 and the super sleeper Mercedes Benz AMG for top honors as the ultimate luxury speeder. With all of the go fast goodies you can see in the pictures [big brakes, lower stance, aggressive front and rear bumper covers], this car should make out just fine. We are still waiting for confirmation of drivetrain configurations but rumor has it the 4.6L 380HP motor will be use. So check back with RPM to learn more about the Lexus IS500.
