If anything, I think it will be a 5.0L V12. By the way, the GS3 has an I6, not a V6.

More likely a 5.0L V8. The 300 stands for 3.0L, the 400 for 4.0L, and the 430 for 4.3L. Nothing implied about the number of cylinders...just the displacement.

Who knows? Just wild speculation. I don't think a 5.0L or a V12 will happen anytime soon.

in japan, they already have the 4.3 liter engine, which are on GS430, SC430, and LS430 , supercharged to 400 HP, on the japanese magazine AUTO FASHION. i think soon they will bring the technology to USA , by TOM's Racing.

The next one to hit the showrooms will be the GS450. I don't think they will be making a 5.0 or GS500.

Speculation has it that they want to introduce a V12 6.0 liter. Lexus will also introduce a concept car in the new movie coming out called "Minority Report" it will be a RED Lexus - kinda radical for them.

Of course this is only speculation. Nothing is confirmed until they get it here.

Also the IS430 is definately coming along with the IS330. A V8 with 300 horses in a 5 speed ( should be 6 speed getrag ) IS. vroom.

That looks like a photoshoped ES, or one ugls GS.


400 hp??? Wow...

BTW, most likely a 5.0 liter v12, not a six...
