Lexus IS F XE20
(2008–2014)
5.
Lexus IS F XE20
Why it qualifies
5.0L 2UR-GSE V8, 416 hp, Yamaha-developed heads. The first M3-fighter from Lexus. 8-speed automatic only — no manual ever offered. Bulletproof reliability is the differentiator vs E9X M3.
Watch out for
- Stuck thermostat (common TSB)
- Brake rotor warping under track use
- VVT-iE actuator wear at high mileage
