First Generation Lexus IS Spits Flames on Dyno

The first generation Lexus IS is still well known amongst tuners these days especially in the United States, where lots of JDM and hellaflush enthusiasts create clubs revolving around these machines.

The IS’ sharp edged body easily accepts aftermarket bumpers and side skirts for a meaner look, while the 3-liter 2JZ-GE engine found in the IS 300 offers a lot of power if tuned properly.

Such an example can be seen in the video bellow, where a tricked-out IS 300 model pushes around 660 horsepower and 530 Nm of torque on a dyno run. Gotta say it’s a sweet clean ride, almost a sleeper, that will leave you in a cloud of smoke if you dare to challenge it between streetlights (something which we don’t encourage at all. Go on a closed track for such activities, wear the seatbelt and helmet also). Anyway, go see the video bellow and listen to that Supra heart living in a Lexus.
