The 2025 Lexus IS 500 Ultimate Edition, a special edition commemorating its tradition of V8 sports sedans with naturally aspirated engines, has been unveiled by Lexus. This exclusive model will only be available in North America in limited quantities (500 units) when it is launched this fall.
Equipped with a potent 5L V8 engine that delivers 472 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque, the Ultimate Edition distributes power exclusively to the rear wheels via an advanced eight-speed Sport Direct Shift transmission. Distinctive features such as Brembo brakes, forged alloy wheels by BBS, and red brake calipers accentuate its performance capabilities.
The exterior, now in a sleek metallic gray reminiscent of the wind, is accentuated by matte black wheels and glossy black highlights. Inside, the cabin boasts a combination of Circuit Red and Black upholstery, complemented by Ultrasuede accents, red seat belts, and unique serialized badging. An analog clock with precise laser etching and an exclusive startup sequence further distinguishes this model.
This standard technology package includes the Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, featuring adaptable cruise control, lane following assistance, and advanced collision avoidance measures. The pricing details for the special edition variant will be disclosed as we approach the product’s release date.
