Racing character: 6 of the best Lexus sports cars in the history of the brand

This Topspeed selection includes models that have become not only the pinnacle of Lexus engineering, but also benchmarks for the entire global auto industry.

Topping the list is the Lexus SC 400. This car opened a new chapter in the brand’s sporting history, combining Gran Turismo elegance with powerful character. A luxurious coupe with smooth body lines and a naturally aspirated V8 felt equally confident on country roads and on winding country roads. Its clean, understated silhouette still stands out against its more aggressive rivals.

Second place goes to the Lexus GS F. It raised the bar for the brand’s sports sedans. Taking the flagship GS model as a basis, the engineers managed to preserve the signature comfort and sophistication, but at the same time endowed the car with a real sporting temperament. The compelling balance of power, handling and everyday practicality makes the GS F a rare exception – a car that suits both enthusiasts and discerning luxury buyers.

In third place is the Lexus IS F. It became the first serious Japanese premium entry in a segment where the Germans reigned supreme. Taking the compact IS sedan as a basis, engineers turned it into a full-fledged sports car with character. Without discounts on origin and without regard to status, the IS F made it clear from the start that it came seriously and for a long time.

Also included in the list of the best Lexus sports cars of all time are the Lexus RC F, Lexus LC500 and Lexus LFA.

It was previously reported that UAZ is testing new diesel models in extreme conditions.
