The July '04 issue of Car & Driver has an article on Lexus setting up an in-house performance shop like BMW's M division - the first 3 models will be next generation IS350, GS350 and LS500.
The LS500GT will have a hybrid system with total output at 600HP!!!!! This 2006 model is expected to top $100,000! Lexus is moving into 6 digits!!

Mercedes & BMW don't sell many S600 & 760Li's neither but it gives more prestige to the model.

It would also be cool if they have a different designation for the performance-divison ala BMW's M and Benz' AMG.

Right now, it looks like the designation will simply be GT.
It will start with the LS500GT, GS***GT, & IS350GT.
I'd like the designation to be more original and distinct
but we'll probably have to settle for "GT".
