Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for
Demanding drivers: 2nd of 22 in Top speed (270 km/h). 2nd of 22 in Top speed (270 km/h).
Less suitable for
Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 14,9 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.
Alternatives to consider
If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive (1st with 3.5 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (1st with 307 km/h) takes the lead.
Acceleration: 4.5 s 0-100 (12th of 22 in 0–100 km/h)
In pure acceleration, the IS 500 F Sport RWD ranks 12th of 22 in 0–100 km/h, 1.0 s off the reference Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive (3.5 s).
Top speed: 270 km/h (2nd of 22 in Top speed)
Top speed of 270 km/h. The segment reference reaches 307 km/h.

Frequently asked questions
Lexus IS 500 F Sport RWD: what you need to know
Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.
Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.
The Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive leads in 0–100 km/h (3.5 s vs 4.5 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the IS 500 F Sport RWD vs Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive duel for a detailed comparison.
Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
