Kinda new here IS-500

Not sure how viable this info is, but Lexus Rep I spoke to at the LA auto show (apparently they opened for the is500 debut), they disclosed that the is500 is just a temporary place holder because the next GEN ISF is already in the pipelines.

^^ We all know that, but will the IS F have a naturally aspirated V8? We don't think so hence why this car is appealing to many of us, and plenty don't want a true F with the price tag that will come with it. The 500 is a sweet spot

Definitely NOT an NA. But, seeing how Toyota is well over their CO2 compliance (one of the main reason a v8 is500 even exists in 2022) I wouldn't be surprised if Lexus dropped a v8 twin turbo.

Call me crazy, but I would like to see Toyota release a performance turbo hybrid system, something like the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo
Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo Sets New Nürburgring Record
Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo Sets New Nürburgring Record
With a 2.0-liter turbocharged V4 engine paired to a hybrid system, the 919 Hybrid Evo delivers a total output of 1,160 hp.
