The 2025 Lexus IS500 Ultimate Edition is a tribute to the last naturally aspirated V8 sedan, celebrating the old-school V8 experience before it becomes rare.
Limited to 500 units in North America, the IS500 Ultimate Edition features cosmetic updates like an exclusive metallic gray paint and Circuit Red leather interior, exuding a blend of sophistication and sportiness.
Mechanically, the car retains its 5.0-liter V8 engine producing 472 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission for a classic driving experience.
While pricing is yet to be announced, the IS500 Ultimate Edition is expected to come at a premium over the standard IS500 model, offering enthusiasts and collectors a rare chance to own a V8-powered luxury sedan in a market moving towards electrification.
