FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2024 Lexus IS 500, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The IS 500 is a nearly perfect hot-rod for those who prefer to fly under the radar. Like every IS, of course, the 500 has rakish styling, but it doesn't stand out from lesser IS models — the only thing different about it dimensionally is that it's slightly longer. Under the hood, however, there's a naturally aspirated V8 that sounds fantastic and goes like the proverbial stink.
