Nothing has peaked my interest that much in terms of my "Toy" in the garage as much as the Camaro (ZL1 specifically), but this Lexus has peaked my interest.
NA V8, at least 450HP...

Looks like a Scion on steroids.

aren't they putting a v8 in the genesis coupe?

ilirg · 07-22-2014, 03:02 PM

Meh

Any idea how much it weighs? Lexus has that smooth and luxurious thing going for them but it lacks the raw excitement that a muscle car exudes. I like them both so it depends on the mood I am in at the time in order to prefer one experience over the other.

If would be nice if the mid-grade Toyota would build a sports car again. Something above a FRS and below a Hybrid Supra supercar. We need another $32-35k rear wheel drive sports car. Maybe reinvent the Celica, MR2 or something.

I've only heard the opposite: Hyundai has no plans of adding a V8. They're also supposed to be ditching the turbo4

Detailed specs like that haven't been published yet. But it is based off of the IS sedan and is approximately the same size. The V6 IS Fsport comes in at about 3600 lbs, so I imagine that this would be 100-200 lbs heavier due to the bigger engine & other performance related goodies.

According to Johnny Lieberman, there's a Turbo V8 mule running around Japan...with an engine the LS-F may brandish against the Merc S550 AMG, as well...600 hp.

That GT3 sounds like a beast.

This has potential. Can't wait to see it in person!

Haters can hate all they want, but competition keeps the fast car business going.

yup, but with the regular RC F coming in the low to mid 60's, can't imagine the $$$ on the GT3. 540 HP at 2700 pounds does sound beastly.

I agree, There are so many great performance cars out there, I don't care who makes it, if it is great enthusiasts should appreciate.

ilirg · 07-22-2014, 09:09 PM

I'm all about a vast selection of performance cars and competition, just never have been a Lexus fan, nothing there to excite. That Supra concept that was floating around a few months back was amazing.

Lexus' "coyote" puts down less tq than Ford's. They are fast op, with mods they are very fast.

McRat · 07-22-2014, 09:44 PM

I'm more curious to see what Honda does with the (Acura) NSX.

That could be a true Ferrari Killer.

Honda has always had pretty good engineering.
