5 Quickest Lexus Production Cars Ever
Lexus cars are known more for dependable luxury than acceleration. But that doesn't mean they can't also be quick off the line. Here are the fastest Lexus production models from 0 to 60 mph.
Lexus IS 500 F-Sport Performance - 4.4 Seconds
While everyone eagerly awaited the reboot of the Lexus IS F, the Japanese manufacturer gave enthusiasts the sport sedan we didn't know we needed. Though it doesn't carry the nameplate of the instant classic, the IS 500 F-Sport follows the same proven formula. With the tried and true 5.0-liter V8 under the hood, this IS performance variant is quite a fun little four-door. And it can hang with cars with much higher price tags in a straight line, with a 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds.
Lexus GS F - 4.4 Seconds
A reliable constant in the Lexus lineup for the majority of the 2010s, the GS became a popular nameplate among Lexus enthusiasts. And for those who loved the GS styling, comfort, and practicality, but wanted some proper oomph, there was the V8-powered GS F. This sport sedan matches the 0-60 acceleration time of the IS 500 F-Sport at 4.4 seconds.
Lexus LC500 Coupe - 4.4 Seconds
Now we're getting into the proper sports car category. The Lexus LC 500 serves as an aspirational halo for the Lexus brand with its undeniably splendid styling and roaring V8. It also stands as one of the fastest Lexus models to roll out of the factory. Propelling the LC 500 to 60 miles per hour takes the 5.0-liter V8 the same amount of time that it does with the GS F and IS 500: 4.4 seconds.
Lexus RCF - 4.2 Seconds
The RC F was built as a direct competitor for a couple of the most formidable luxury/sport sedans in recent memory, the sixth-gen BMW M3 and the W205 Mercedes C63 AMG. Though the Lexus coupe's naturally aspirated V8 didn't quite have the numbers of its twin-turbocharger competition, it made up for it with a ton of character, courtesy of the high-revving motor. It's no slouch in low-end acceleration, either, with a 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds.
Lexus LFA - 3.6 Seconds
And topping the list, to the surprise of no one, is the iconic front-mid engine Lexus supercar. The LFA's screamer of a V10 is widely regarded as one of the best-sounding engines in history. And it does well to give the supercar a rapid jump to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds.
