Lexus IS500 Top Speed Run

[dylanw]

What a great road… I can’t got half a mile without hitting a pothole. Imagine hitting one at a buck fifty….

[twnrbo]

The Lexus 5.0 is one of the most underrated best sounding V8’s

The deer I the woods: "Nah, let him have his moment"

[ethannicosia]

It's deer time dude. Be careful out there. Large freeways or daytime is the way to do this. Had too many close calls at speed with wildlife.

[Brancovtn]

This car is the whole package. Luxury, sporty, musical, and it looks amazing. Especially in person with a nice fitment.

[jarederisman]

This thing could for sure hit 180 without the limiter

[andrewgomez]

My 1991 Ls400 hits 150 All day. Good ol NA Japanese v8

Imagine if Lexus had just for once offered this engine with a 6MT. My next request would’ve been a rear biased AWD system for all weather traction. Shame we will never get a modern V8 Lexus manual sport sedan

[biggerboostksa]

I love how Japanes and Europeian V8’s sound
Cool shit

[Lunarx]

Is it limited to 150? I’m surprised it’s not something like 170, my is350 does 150… either way that thing is a beast and sounds amazing🔥

[brianrscully]

Usually F models (of course this isn’t a full F model but they share the same engine) top out at 168… interesting how the limiter is set before peak horsepower arrives in the last gear.

“I’m bout to end this mans whole career.” - some deer probably

[VoxVirtus]

Damn, that thing has some serious top end

[alexandermcdole]

You definitely can hear the governor kick in.

[SilverScarletSpider]

I wish the Acura TLX Type S held a candle to this Lexus IS500, because as it stands right now, the Acura needs a deep discount and price cut

[GuyFromJupiter]

The engine is incredible, and besides the fact that it never wants to downshift into the lowest gear it can the transmission is actually seems pretty good to me. If you want to go fast you just have to shift manually, which doesn't bother me too much.

[SouthernCrossMotors]

Nice to see someone with a IS500. Really hope you get on a drag strip and give it some runs. Also. please get a Dragy too so those times can be recorded 😃

[trd]

Thanks! I legit appreciate this video. Car has that high pitch rev like the Novel headers / full exhaust on the RCF. I have a GS460 with PPE headers coming in the next few days and whew this video has me hyped! hahahaha Thanks again!

[enzofalone]

it is interesting that the tachometer has that pink spot where you are supposed to upshift as in old games. I don't know if it's me or it is not really common for cars to have this but the shift light

This boutta be in everyone’s recommended
