This Supercharged Lexus IS300 Is Illegal To Sell In California



Enthusiasts immediately understood the car’s potential. Compact dimensions. Powerful inline-six mated to a manual, and standard RWD. What’s not to like? In 2001, a total of 22,486 examples were sold in the US, a record high for the first-gen model. Unfortunately, numbers dipped to below the 10,000-unit mark only a few years later.

The second-generation Lexus IS arrived for 2005, but it was the IS F that has since become legendary, and for good reason: its naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 with 416 hp and 371 lb-ft. Sadly, today’s third-gen IS has yet to spawn a fully-fledged F variant. At this point, it very likely won’t. We’ll have to make due instead with the less powerful IS F Sport. But if you’re unable to find a second-gen IS F or simply can’t handle the price tag, then we have found the perfect alternative.
