Lexus Introduces Limited IS500 Climax Edition, Marking V8 Farewell

Lexus bids farewell to the V8 sedan with the limited-edition IS500 Climax Edition, exclusive to the Japanese market. With production of the IS coming to an end soon, Lexus is giving this sports sedan a grand send-off. The IS500 Climax Edition, following the footsteps of the North American IS500 Ultimate Edition, boasts a powerful 5.0-liter V8 engine producing 352kW and 537Nm of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

While the Climax Edition retains the same performance as the regular IS500 F Sport Performance, it features enhancements like red Brembo calipers, high-friction pads, 380mm ventilated discs, Bridgestone Potenza tires on 19-inch BBS alloy wheels, and a striking black and red interior theme with faux suede and leather upholstery. The cabin also showcases a unique red lightning pattern on various elements.

The IS500 Climax Edition will be limited to just 500 units, with a starting price of ¥9.5 million (A$100,800). This special edition marks the end of an era for Lexus, as it signifies the discontinuation of V8 engines in the sedan lineup. The IS model has a rich history dating back to its inception in 1989, and the third-generation IS, launched in 2013, has seen multiple facelifts over the years.

With the upcoming cessation of IS production in November, there will be a gap before the arrival of the fourth-generation all-electric IS, which is reportedly delayed until 2027. The 2020 facelift of the IS brought back the V8 engine option, but due to new side impact regulations, the model was withdrawn from Australian markets in 2021.
