Own a Truly Exclusive Sport Sedan with the 2025 IS 500 Special Appearance Package

The 2025 Lexus IS lineup celebrates a remarkable achievement—25 years of delivering thrilling performance in the luxury sport sedan segment. To mark this silver anniversary, Lexus has created something extraordinary: the limited production IS 500 Special Appearance Package. This rare offering stands at the pinnacle of the IS range, combining raw V8 power with exclusive design elements you won't find anywhere else in the lineup. As the IS enters its 25th year, this special edition provides Canadian drivers an opportunity to own a truly distinctive vehicle that separates itself from the ordinary.

Striking Exterior Presence

The IS 500 Special Appearance Package immediately distinguishes itself through its exclusive Flare Yellow exterior finish. This vibrant hue perfectly complements the sedan's muscular silhouette and aggressive stance, creating a visual statement that's impossible to ignore. The package rides on newly designed 19-inch forged BBS wheels—a premium touch that enhances both aesthetics and performance through reduced unsprung weight.

From every angle, this limited edition IS 500 communicates its performance credentials. The low and wide stance, bold front fascia, and sharp character lines all contribute to its athletic appearance. At the rear, the signature L-shaped blade-style light bar spans the width of the vehicle, creating a distinctive visual signature that leaves a lasting impression as you drive away. These elements aren't merely for show—they reflect the track-developed Lexus Driving Signature that defines the IS driving experience.

V8 Performance Heritage

At the heart of the IS 500 Special Appearance Package lies a naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 engine—an increasingly rare offering in today's turbocharged market. This powerful engine produces 472 hp and 394 lb-ft of torque, channeled through a direct-shift eight-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels. The result is exhilarating acceleration that launches the sedan from 0-100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds.

The driving experience is further enhanced by the Dynamic Handling Package, which includes the responsive Lexus Adaptive Variable Suspension system and Drive Mode Select with SPORT+ Mode. These technologies allow you to fine-tune your driving experience based on conditions and preferences. The addition of a Torsen limited-slip differential maximizes traction during aggressive cornering, ensuring the V8's substantial power translates effectively to the pavement. Every component works in harmony to deliver the ultimate expression of the Lexus Driving Signature—developed and refined on the challenging 5.3 km Shimoyama Test Track in Japan.

Premium Interior Craftsmanship

Step inside the IS 500 Special Appearance Package and you'll immediately notice the exclusive Ultrasuede interior with yellow contrast stitching that perfectly complements the exterior color. This premium material not only looks striking but provides excellent grip during spirited driving. The cabin surrounds you with thoughtful details and refined finishes that balance sporty character with luxury comfort.

The driver-focused cockpit features an IS 500-specific tachometer cluster that traces its inspiration to the legendary Lexus LFA supercar. Front seats are designed to provide ideal support during both spirited drives and long journeys, holding you securely in place during cornering while remaining comfortable for extended periods. The technology experience matches the premium feel, with a 17-speaker Mark Levinson sound system delivering concert-quality audio reproduction and the intuitive Lexus Interface system providing seamless connectivity through a 10.3-inch touchscreen.

The 2025 Lexus IS 500 Special Appearance Package offers a rare combination of exclusivity, performance, and luxury that stands apart in today's market. Its limited production ensures you'll be driving something truly special—a fitting tribute to 25 years of IS heritage. With its naturally aspirated V8, track-tuned chassis, and distinctive design elements, this sport sedan delivers a driving experience that connects you directly to the road while surrounding you in premium comfort.
