Glancing at the specs of this new 2023 Lexus IS500 you would be forgiven to think of this as the ‘new’ IS-F. The vehicle that help propel Lexus into the same realms as the M3 and the C63. Except you would be wrong. This isn’t a direct successor to the IS-F, this is more of a direct competitor to the M340i, S4 and the C43. What Lexus learned in the IS-F days is that while you can try to go spec-for-spec with the Germans, to be truly special is to bring something different to the table. That leads us to this 2023 Lexus IS500.
