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.

Rumor mills says the IS500 will have the NA V8 or the new Turbo V6 from the LS500.

Same 5.0 V8 with a 0-60 4.5 sec?

Folks....get a MKV Supra, it will dust this thing. Just my opinion.

I think they are underrating it. I believe the RC-F can do it in 4.1 sec via C&D test.

Unless you have kids and can only have one car. Note to self, never having kids. Wrap it before you tap it. :p

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.

Especially with the down sizing tend. A lot of people are poking fun at the next Mercedes C AMG being a 4 banger.

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.

Back on topic, another video with pretty much every angle of the car.

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...
