The IS first went on sale in 2000, followed by the current generation, which launched in 2005. This generation IS started with the IS 250 and 350 sedans; as is still the case, the 250 comes with a 2.5-liter, 204-horsepower V-6 and a choice of manual or automatic transmissions.The newest members of the IS club are the IS 250/350C retractable hardtop convertibles.

The IS 350 comes with a 306-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 with a six-speed automatic. Both are available with all-wheel drive. The next addition to the line was the IS F, which is as close to an M3, AMG, or Audi S model as you can get. The IS F is powered by a 5.0-liter V-8 with 416 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic, plus it comes with a lower, sport-tuned suspension and unique four-passenger cabin.

McLaren Automotive now sees the future with a revolutionary new line of sports cars.

After initial press test drives, many journalists placed the McLaren supercar below Ferrari’s latest toy, the 458 Italia because "it lacked the aural drama and sense of occasion to match its pace and dynamic ability." With the hard work and dedication already put into the MP4-12C, McLaren felt it necessary to tweak the supercar before it was delivered to its high-paying customers. Modifications such as an improved throttle response and a "fruitier" exhaust note were applied and will take effect only in Track mode. McLaren also said that these modifications were already planned, but the press criticism made the company hightail the changes before the vehicles were delivered.
