2006 Lexus IS

The redesigned IS incorporates the new Lexus design philosophy, L-Finesse. This is made evident throughout the exterior, with such bold styling elements as a wide stance; high, muscular beltline; and an aggressive, wedge-shaped profile. The heart of the IS 350 is a potent 3.5-liter V6 that churns out 306 horsepower, making it the most powerful engine in its class. With 277 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 rpm, the IS 350 can achieve an astounding 0-60 acceleration time of 5.3 seconds, which is fastest in its class. The IS 250 is briskly propelled by a 2.5-liter 204-hp V6 with 185 lb-ft of torque.
