2023 Lexus IS500 vs Infiniti Q50 RedSport Opal Edition, Japan Sedan Battle. Drag and Roll Race.

im glad the is500 is faster

Yeah go lexus!

I'm not sure on the elevation your at or anything like that, but I've got a 12.8 in 1/4 in my stock q50rs. I'm almost positive both cars can run better times. I have the video on my channel to prove it i raced a mustang. I'm also not saying my q50 is faster than a is500 all im saying is both cars are faster than what was posted well at least the q50 is.

I feel like both cars have good power and good potential but the q50 shifts could've been better. Obviously I'm no expert but maybe you swapping cars could've made a difference.

It's so hard to say, I love my is500 but there are a few things I'd like improved. The car is a gentlemen's sporty sedan. It's not an out and out sports car, and I don't think that's the intention. It's comfortable and lopes along at 80mph all day long....if you are in the mood to get spicy it does so with a gentlemanly "As you wish sir". No surprises, but still fun as heck...almost a sleeper..like others say it doesn't really stand out from the rest of the IS field, but I think the IS's are a very good looking car.

I just can't put my finger on it, but it makes my 120mile 80+mph commute a pleasure...and I think that's it's roll in life.

Honestly lexus is cut but I would never ever buy it to race anyone. It can't beat shit

Not a m pack
Not a Mustang
Camero
Hell cat.

Nothing. The shit can't beat anything in a frag race. Only on rolls. Sometimes lol

Infiniti is king 💯💯

I'd love to see the difference in trap speeds between the two cars

Mannn i love the Q50 but their top end SUCKKSSS…thats why everyone is going to bmw.

Lol did the guy with the fancy Nissan just call the Lexus fancy Toyota? 😂

72 hp more, off course the Lexus wins

Both cars are sick, but for me, the IS is the best looking sedan on the market these days. Ill probably still end up in a Red sport though, cant get a decent IS500 for under 30k like you can with the redsport. Its between that and the Genesis G70 3.3t for me, real hard choice.

The q50s drive train is outdated and just plain uncompetitive its a good car on its own, but its no match for competition

Sam, without a doubt you always have the best drag races. I would love to see a drag race between the 10th gen 2.0 accord, the 2.0 Altima VC Turbo(running 93 fuel for full power), Camry TRD, and Kia K5 GT. if you cant get all of them together, at least the 10th gen 2.0 Accord and the 2.0 Altima VC Turbo. Pls, pls, pls!

I’ll choose a Lexus over that 4 door trap car

Toyota make the car chip material that why big engine but less power and cost more gas maybe is 500 the engine make by Yamaha the Lexus lfa the engine make by Yamaha. Supra bmw engine. Toyota 86 Subaru engine.

Q 50 should of been using stick mode. Lex was using paddles

👍

the lexus doesn't have a sluggish transmission....it shifts at 100milliseconds...one of the fastest torque convertor automatic

why not do an RWD infiniti? to be fair smh

Bro got super excited about winning the roll race of the 'fancy lexus' shitty launch🤣

And most of toyotas and toyota lexus sell at high price than nissan.most nissan dnt hold is resale value ,toyota does

🙌🏽Lexus all day Reliability on top

As it should be and the IS500 is the least aggressive F car. Our top end is fantastic.

Only a guy like "can't drive" Sam manages to lose in car that has 75 HP more than the competition. SMH

I'm happy that Lexus gave us the V8 but it's on such an old platform and they clearly didn't give it proper 'F' treatment.

v6 vs v8 tho

can we add the TLX type s in

So sad to see the Q50 needs a more powerful engine man

The IS is one of the most beautiful cars.. Just wish they kept the previous generation’s taillights.. The one that runs across it’s ass is horrendous.. They lined up perfectly with the side indent on the previous and were the perfect example of aggressive.. It showed character.. The new one shows ALOT of character but lost it with the rear end.. Don’t BMW my Toyota… Look at the new 5 series? The 2 series… They’re insults to their ancestors

Obviously lots of Lexus fanboys here, who don’t care about money for performance ratio. The fact that a 3L v6 designed in 2013 performs on par the newly redesigned 5L v8 is astounding. Factor In that you can get a used q50 for under 25K it’s a no brainer

75 hp less and 60 pound more ,The Q50 are ok but a v8 is a v8

Y'all seem really entertained in the cockpit 😂😂

2 brands that take 20 years to update their cars

I would love to see some is350 awd action 🙏

2 cars that pretty much haven't changed in a decade.

Well the Lexus is rated at 472ph and infinti is rated at 400 but that q50 wasn't that far behind it probably has a little bit more ha

Nissan transmissions are subpar to Toyotas. Doing all those upgrades to the Q50 will cost you more money in repairs in comparison to just taking the IS500 as is. Lexus is built better all around.

I love my Q50RS. But the is500 got it beat. Even if the Q50 might be making more than advertised from the factory. Without a tune the Q is gonna lose

the is500 has gearing setup for rolls, with a 3.1 final drive, with a 4.08 gearing the car gets around 3 sec 0-60.
Also the 8 speed is not “sluggish” at all lmfao, its actually one of the fastest non dct transmissions in the world, look it up.

My 2008 ISF will smoke em both

I’m sorry Lexus is always better than an Infiniti.

There's no replacement for displacement baby!

I think I've been watching every single Q50/60RS videos on your channel but never had the chance to race my Q50RS yet 😢 I just want to be 12.99 and I'll be happy 😊

Out of all the other Chanel’s you show q50’s and q60’s the most love and I appreciate that because these cars have real potential and extremely slept on💯‼️

Awd vs rwd no shit

Loved my RS400. Pop even a basic JB4 on it and pop up the boost 3-4psi and she'll be a lot more fun. Fully tune it and you will be in another league all together. I opened the eyes of many with mine. It was fun while I had it.

Gotta see a m56 vs a is500

Lexus is toyota?
