Can you imagine? I'd wear my fingers to the bone writing up all those stories.
Busy times, very sure.
Do not forget the ES and ES F !
You write the stories, I will drive these cars. Deal ? :grinning:

This does not seem like a fair deal.

So less than 800 N/M to match the german will be a flop and as the 3.5L TT get 600 so don't think the 0.5L difference will do this
it is a V8.

I know it will be a V8 but I thought 5.0L to get near 600hp /800nm
The 0.5L difference is so little to got all this push
We are talking about 200hp /200nm from just 0.5L and 2 more cylinders

Looks like the goal is indeed 600hp:

Wow
Tokyo is so near and we will see what will happen
Also in which other cars this mill will be
Of course the LC F, the RWD CUV F which maybe named GX F or as rumored before TX F and finally maybe the new rumored GS 4 doors coupe

LC of course, and article itself has slightly detuned for GS-F... As to the RWD SUV, never saw that anywhere on japanese sites, but i might be wrong.

Such an excitement!!!
If that LS F would come with over 600HP, I would put my money NOW!!!
Can’t wait, as well I’m with everyone when I thought Lexus would be making the LC F before the LS F. But well both are amazing. CAN’T WAIT

Doubt we'll hear any follow up.

Taba actually has a LS 500h on order in Japan..... really nice guy, I've ordered some parts from him before...
Isn't their reply usually "We don't comment on future products".

They can't use twin-scroll turbochargers in the a V6, hence the low specific output. The V8 can get twin-scroll in each bank, allowing more specific output without sacrificing response. 2.0L I4-Ts with around 300hp are quite common these days, doubling that really isn't a problem.
