Also why is there no LC Fsport at least? Hopefully its one of the new F sport performance models on the way.....

New full IS-F seems to be very realistic based on what they said in that video.

I actually like the RC F refresh myself. Maybe i'm biased.

We won't see an IS F for this current generation. The 2022 IS 500 F SPORT Performance is it.

How do you know?
New IS just came out and will be around for at least another couple of years.

They dont have the powertrain for that and it wouldnt make sense to stuff new hi po powertrains in an old chassis that might not be able to handle the additional power and requiring additional modifications.

The 3rd Generation IS has been out since 2014 and an exterior refresh with minor changes to the interior was done just recently for 2021. The 2021 IS is still a 3rd Generation IS.

Nice find. The IS500 looks well composed on the track.

I think this is going to be the IS to remember. I'm still waiting for Savagegeese to get one on their channel!

That Supra needed to get out of the way. He was about to be overtaken.

It's success will all pretty much depend on pricing, if they price it too close to a RC-F it won't sell.

I really need one. It sounds so aggressive stock, just like the LC500.

Most are speculating $10K more than the IS350, which is around $40K. $55K to $60 would probably be the price range. If it's going to compete with the BMW 340i, this would be the best pricing point
