For the 2022 model year, Lexus has just announced the introduction of the Lexus IS 500 F SPORT Performance model, which is said to bring impressive power to the lineup and create a whole new world of commuting for those particularly performance-oriented Birmingham drivers. Here's what we know so far:
- The 2022 Lexus IS 500 F SPORT Performance will be powered by a gritty 5.0-liter V8 gasoline engine that produces 472-horsepower and 395-pound-feet of torque.
- As with other F SPORT models made by Lexus, expect exclusive styling with things such as F SPORT-specific badging, dark exterior details, and larger wheels.
- The IS 500 will specifically feature dark chrome details around the windows and quad exhaust system alongside 19-inch wheels.
- In terms of acceleration, you'll fall in love with the quick 4.5-second 0-60-miles-per-hour acceleration time.
- This is the first Lexus model to debut that's part of the F SPORT Performance collection, a new line that the brand plans to add to in the coming years.
- This new vehicle introduces a new type of model to the lineup that brings increased performance to Lexus vehicles that exceed the expectations of the traditional F SPORT lineup.
- Standard rear-wheel drive and the Dynamic Handling Package (DHP) accompanied by Adaptive Variable Suspension and limited-slip differential is a performance trifecta worth noting.
