Default High-Performance Lexus IS 500 Coupe
"At the Geneva Motor Show 2005 Toyota debuted with the replacement for the Lexus IS compact sedan. Now the Japanese car maker is working on a high performance coupe version, according to rumours dubbed IS 500. Most likely it is powered by a 4.3 litre V8 32 valve engine delivery approximately 300 HP. This car is set to become a rival against models like BMW M3 and Mercedes CLK 55 AMG"

Is that HP number right? Sounds like it should be more like 400hp?

Somehow I don't think Lexus is going to release an IS500 with LESS power than the IS350.
