There is a guy in various auto sites whose I have paid attention for sometimes. While he is a Toyota fan and always defends Toyota/Lexus, I must give him credits for what he said (or Predicted). From the 3RX/RXh power and milage to the 4GS and the New Camry. His screen name is BlackDynamite or Dr. Fill.....

He said that the 4GS F-Sport will sport a TRD supercharger with about 60+ HP. Sounds very interesting, eh? Remember, the Tundra Ironman package? with more than 500 hp/tq we know that Toyota can do something great if they wanted too. Also, the TRD superchargers have been proven reliability.

What are your thoughts?

 

F-Sport or the mythical GS-F?

If it's the F-Sport they're debuting at SEMA....366 HP is sufficient. Can't wait till they overhaul the engine offerings though.

 

a SC'd lexus is kind of hard to believe. the whole lexus line has been N/A. the new camry has a higher probability of getting a SC

but, we shall see

 

Both 350 and 450h will have F-Sport package so I don't know how that applies to hybrid.

 

Interesting.

I actually said a while ago, that I don't think it would be totally impossible for Lexus to do something like slap electronically assisted turbos onto the LHD system to get a FI hybrid powertrain. Better fuel economy and tons more power.

I doubt that F Sport will be much more than suspension and cosmetic upgrades to the interior and exterior, but I certainly wouldn't be mad if that model add forced induction .

 

if they really have a supercharger as option for the fsport package, i think that's awesome idea and great job for lexus! these are great stuff to promote the badge imho

 

All I know is BlackDynamite was a hilarious movie!


Would love to see this happen but won't hold my breathe lol

 

Definitely a possibility, TRD offered supercharger kit for many Toyota vehicles, from the top of my head, 4-bangers in the Tc, Xb, V6 in the Tacoma and the 5.7L V8 in the Tundra.

It make sense if for some reason Lexus don't want to offer a blower from the factory, they offer it as a dealer install kit after sales.

 

A possibility of a supercharger was mentioned at the end of this review:

come on mike, HOLD!

 

Same engine as the GS350, but supercharged

yay, so sexy

 

Nice, according to the Toyota website, the supercharged 2GR-FSE engine makes 360hp/367ft-lb torque.

 

Wow...so put a cold-air intake, exhaust and that supercharged engine in the F-Sport...should sound really good! All that with 19/20" wheels, larger brakes, better springs and shocks...probably means we will never get a GS-F, depending on how well the F-Sport sells.

 

this kinda makes me exited!!! but im not counting on it...lord knows what lexus will decide to do and with their conservative history im not sure they will leap for something like this...i just hope they dont make the F-model a supercharged 6...
