Sounds good but I think it should have 500hp engine at least, something that makes me happy when I drive and is a reall contester. I agree though it should have come out with the new GS. I can say its in the plans no lie about that, but #'s I doubt at the moment right now.

was just reading an article in car and driver. Lexus states that a GS-F is coming soon. equipped with a 5.0 liter V8 465hp engine. priced from 90 to 100,000. 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds. highest performance in the GS line (obviously). didn't give any particulars on the IS-F.
ITs BS, since the article is NOT CURRENT
@GS350LEXUS. listen i'm just sharing what i read. i'm a grown man, don't like to be called a liar i'm not one of your friends you don't know me from a hole in the wall. if you didn't believe it you shouldn't have posted a reply.
for whoever wants to read it the article is, LEXUS' F TROOP NEW AND FUTURE CARS - FIRST LOOK AT ROAD AND TRACK.COM. my bad,,, it was road and track not car and driver

My bad fellas. didn't realize the article was that old, should have made sure the article was current. everyone is entitled to one mistake.@1QWKGS4 didn't mean for anyone to get emotional about it. this is a car we are talking about.

In fact I'd rather get a Jag first than a BMW imho. (i.e. an XJ L Supersport is no less reliable than say a BMW M5 F10)

One thing I'm wondering though, is how they would go about getting +500hp into the GS-F. Despite rumors, I doubt they will use the V10 from the LFA - that would have to come with its own transmission and we'd probably be talking about 100k easily - and Lexus probably knows that although it'd beat the germans at the track, it'd probably not really work as a product.
I'm guessing they're having to resort to forced induction, which is probably why it's all taking so long.

People on this form always look at Horsepower but don't realize there's more to HP that makes a car fast and there are a lot of people who can care less if the car is .3 Secs slower. I rather have a .3 Sec Slower car but have all the options, luxury, looks, reliability etc that Lexus gives!

First why does everyone think for 100k people will buy GTR's? GTR is just for speed while a GSF, M5 etc are more than for speed.

As fast as it is, I have no interest in it.

hp-sells the car. It is a bragging right.
torque-wins the race (something like that
) 
so do I.
