Yes that's right, Lexus is due to launch it's much awaited performance hero, the IS500 at the Detroit Motor Show.
It's 5 litre V8 will produce 300kw and being driven through an all new 8 speed transmission it's bound to be be blo0dy, no hold on, make that f*cken quick :D .
A short teaser article is in Todays Herald-Sun (Melb) Cars guide.
Styling looks to be IZZ style :) - Little is more, with only subtle differences such as wider wheel arches lower stance, deeper front air dam and quad tail pipes (stacked vertically in two's on either side rather than side by side).
Can't wait
