The Currently Available Fastest Lexus Models

Although the fastest Lexus was the Lexus LFA from the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, there are many fast Lexus cars available that may be suitable for your future adventures. Below we've listed six of the fastest Lexus models you could bring home today.

Fastest Lexus SUV: Lexus RZ 550e F SPORT AWD

The Lexus RZ 550e F SPORT AWD is unlike any other Lexus model on the market – it's an all-electric performance vehicle. And it's not just one of the fastest Lexus SUVs – it's the fastest, thanks to its ability to move from a standstill to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds.

To put this in perspective, the fastest Lexus ever made was the Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition, which made the same maneuver in 3.6 seconds – only half a second faster than the Lexus RZ 550e F SPORT AWD.

And since the latest edition is a 2026 model year release, you're getting a blend of high-quality appointments and refined speed. Some highlights inside the Lexus RZ 550e F SPORT AWD include ventilated front seating, heated rear outboard seats, and a Black ultrasuede-trimmed interior.

Fastest Lexus Coupe Options: Lexus LC 500 Coupe & Lexus LC 500 Coupe Inspiration Series

A sweeping coupe silhouette never goes out of style, and with these two models, you can rest assured it can keep up with your lifestyle, too. Both of these coupe models can move from zero to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. That's faster than nearly all other Lexus models currently on the market.

Other highlights of this supremely hospitable model include its seating for four passengers (meaning plenty of room for rear-row passengers), two-zone climate control, and an available heated steering wheel.

Fastest Lexus Convertibles: Lexus LC 500 Convertible & Lexus LC 500 Convertible Inspiration Series

The pair of Lexus LC 500 Convertibles keep pace with the models before it, offering just as much excitement behind the wheel. Both models offer a 5.0-liter V-8 engine that produces 471 horsepower, which (in part) enables them to sprint from zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. And it's also worth noting that these options are among the highest horsepower Lexus models in our list.

These models are similar to their coupe counterparts, but you'll enjoy the convertible aspect on sunny days in Greenwich, CT. It's hard to beat cruising our area's roads with the top down when spring or summer comes around.

Fastest Lexus Sedan: Lexus IS 350 F SPORT

The fastest Lexus sedan currently available within the latest lineup is the Lexus IS 350 F SPORT. This model takes an everyday luxury design and gives it a competitive edge with a 5.9-second 0-60 mph time. It has that sleek F SPORT styling that makes it look elegant on and off the road. And with its integrated paddle shifters, you get an even more immersive drive.

Some of this sedan's highlights include two-zone climate control, F SPORT heated and ventilated front seating, an F SPORT heated and leather-trimmed steering wheel, and driver's seat memory settings. We can hand over the key fob for a test drive when you arrive to shop new Lexus models with us.
