When shopping around for a powerful V8-powered sports sedan in 2025, you don’t have many options left. The likes of Audi and Mercedes-Benz have ditched the V8 in favor of more efficient four and six-cylinder engines, though BMW has at least kept a V8, albeit a quieter one, under the hood of the M5. If you want a new, naturally aspirated V8 sports sedan in 2025, the Lexus IS 500 is the only one that fits the bill.
