I don't recall hearing that. Any links? Quite interesting that rumor though, seeing as some pics turned up recently with a tuned LS at Toyota's Motorsport facility in Germany, with a spec sheet touting a 5.0L engine and 650hp.
Yeah if that story is true it pretty much confirms that the 650hp LS TMG is indeed housing a 5.0L TT V8 , and is most likely going to be used in upcoming production vehicles. The fact that Lexus has been so eager to take those discussion threads offline pretty much confirms it.
I have a hard time believing that TMG edition LS making 650hp was turbo'd. It may've been, but the specs of the engine are basically the IS-F's engine allowed to rev 3k more rpm. I wonder if it's more to it than turbos, maybe a SUPER HYBRID? Would explain the amount of torque as well as the increased weight. If that's the case, perhaps there is more to be had from the new GS HYBRID? Just a thought.
Is it just me, or does the back of the mule look like the trunk is not quite as long? That was my biggest problem with the concept, but the mule 4GS looks a lot closer to what I was hoping for. We may have a winner here folks!
