Rumor mills says the IS500 will have the NA V8 or the new Turbo V6 from the LS500.Aren’t the latest rumors reporting a 600hp / 485lbft V8? Supposedly; ISF, LSF, and LCF will share the same engine with different engine and transmission tunes. If so, I guess the rumors of a 4.0 TT V8 were true.
It looks like Bestcar was right again.
I think they are underrating it. I believe the RC-F can do it in 4.1 sec via C&D test.Same 5.0 V8 with a 0-60 4.5 sec?
Folks....get a MKV Supra, it will dust this thing. Just my opinion.
Especially with the down sizing tend. A lot of people are poking fun at the next Mercedes C AMG being a 4 banger.There are a lot of positive comments and reaction on the German forums that I visit. If they do manage it have a starting pricing tag of around $55k; then for once it seems like Lexus has actually done something right for us average Joes without an unlimited budget.
The guys over on vwvortex are still having a field day with that one ?. MB could have at least use their new I6 as the top ranging model.Especially with the down sizing tend. A lot of people are poking fun at the next Mercedes C AMG being a 4 banger.
It would be incredible if they priced it to start at $55K but I think the price benchmark is the RC-F, which starts at $66K...There are a lot of positive comments and reaction on the German forums that I visit.
