Lexus IS 200t Trademarked in Australia & Europe

Posted by Kevin on May 27th, 2014

Lexus has trademarked the IS 200t nameplate in both Australia and Europe, making way for the new 2.0L four-cylinder turbo engine to be introduced in the sports sedan.

The turbo engine will debut this year with the NX compact crossover, where it generates 235 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The engine also features a dual Atkinson/Otto cycle that maximizes fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance.

(The Australia trademark is #1624592, and the European trademark is #012902251. Both were filed on May 23, 2014.)

I have think that 2.0 will make a tiny bit more HP in the RWD guise of the IS vs. the FWD NX. In the ES300h, the 2.5l hybrid makes 200...in the IS300h puts out 220. Apples to oranges though. Could be wrong.

    The RC 200t had been trademarked already. See: http://www.google.com/url?q=http://lexusenthusiast.com/2013/08/14/lexus-rc-200t-trademark-registered-in-australia/&sa=U&ei=HkWFU9fsHcX7kgXc7oHwDg&ved=0CBgQFjAE&usg=AFQjCNFzAfB-6LLr7G8vZym5jDxmWUjR4w

    I believe that the 200t will be the 250 replacement. Also the output on the RWD sedans would be increased to around 250 HP. That is a very logical strategy, though still behind the germans, the brand new state of the art engine head and turbo cooling system would give it the edge. As for the 350 and 460 engines, I believe there are no plans for replacements yet. Especially the 350 engine, it is one of the most successful and widely used engines by Toyota/Lexus. Expect the 200t engine to be available for the Toyota GT-86 soon.

    200t engine in the GT86 is not happening ever. That car and hood height was specifically designed only for H4 engines.

    If there is a manual RC200t, there can without big costs increase be a manual for the RC350 and even the RCF.
