Default Bring back the GS400?

I would LOVE to see Lexus bring back the GS400, only as a turbo V8.

Everyone else is going smaller engines and turbo's, for fantastic power gains. Heck, the Ford F150 has a 3.5L Twin Turbo V6 with 365 hp and 420 LB-FT torque.

Yeah, I know they COULD turbo a 3.5L, but forget that, bring back the GS400....

A custom turbo is what makes a turbo car fun

Wishful thinking. With the fuel economy standards upcoming, V8's in general will be limited so a turbo V8 will be highly unlikely for a mainstream automaker.

I do like the 1UZFE suggestion though :-)

that would be kind of dope to see the GS4 re-imaged, that 1UZ was a dope motor too. but i doubt that will happen with present day tech and not to mention the 1UZ has been replaced two times over now
