Lexus has sold 1.3 million examples of its compact, rear-wheel-drive IS saloon since the first generation arrived in 1999, and to celebrate it’s launching a shameless special edition of the IS 500 F-Sport in North America called ‘Ultimate’. Oh boy, this makes us miss the old IS F.
You may remember the 500 F-Sport uses a naturally-aspirated 5.0-litre V8 to make 466bhp and 395lb ft of torque. And yes, that’s kinda the only reason why we’re bringing you the news of this limited-run Ultimate Edition. As you might have guessed, just 500 will be available.
