If you look at some of the drawings of the F-concept a couple years ago, the somewhat disguised photos of this RX-F actually carries some of the more producible features forward into steel. A little repackaging of the V8/transfer case could accommodate the extra length of the engine with only a modest increase in track.
Such a vehicle would have to be AWD to get all that torque to the ground. While an SUV isn't going to be much of a sports car, it might be a good test bed that would require minimal repackaging for a test of concept for this and other models.
Now, as to specific power output, who knows? Maybe with direct injection . . .

If Lexus enters the performance SUV/SAV frey with an "F" variant of the RX, it better meet or exceed the performance and handeling of this beast.....

The current RX is such a feedback free cream-puff, I can't even begin to imagine a performance variant of it. The only thing crazier to me would be like an SVT/performance variant of the Crown Vic - oh, wait... Mercury already did that. And it sucked.![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Then again if the RX, for the next generation yet to come out, is made over as dramatically as the new MDX was, then I guess I could see it happening.

I wouldn't necessarily want to see an LX-F, but the GX-F would be nice. To me the RX is just a little too feminine to begin with, so making it pumped up and masculine would be sort of weird.

So once and for all, that whole article is a aprils fool joke right?? Bob Carter already hinted the next F-car would be the LF-A (or whatever name the production car gets).

If people haven't already figured it out by now...April 1 should be the first hint of that article.
