Lexus F's deputy engineering chief says that the naturally aspirated V8 will be replaced with a turbo in the next generation of F cars.

A small displacement Turbo V8 would be nice if emissions could be met, but highly likely will be a V6 Turbo.

 

I'm all in! Hopefully this will unlock some tuning capabilities for the future F platforms = MOAR POWA! It's about damn time!

 

was to be expected. Buy the big V8 while you still can

 

If we cant crack the ecu on Lexus vehicles now hat makes you think this car will be any different?

 

Any guesses on weight loss with a V6

 

If the new turbo 4 introduced is an indicator whatever replaces the V8 will be heavy still.

 

The 2J would be amazing

Chances are whatever they are sticking in the ft-1 will be used across the board. Being that's supposed to model after the Supra it will more than likely be turbo at least it better be

 

As usual - Lexus few generations back of the Germans.........

 

I'd rather the V8.

 

I'd be happy with a turbo as long as it is still a V8.

This means the current RC F will be worth more down the road.

 

RC-F "S" should do the JOB!

 

Keeping my IS-F in the stable.

If their new turbo 6 proves to be good, will definitely consider getting a 2 door as well.

 

Lol, that's a Brush with a BROAD Swipe! They ALL have their issues Good & BAD

 

Who knows, if it's a new generation of 6, it could be better than the 8. You don't need all that powah errvday u know. If the 6 has enough power before the spool...it'll be perfect.

Will miss the 8 but tech moves forward. Soon, it'll all be replaced by electric motors and will destroy the relics with 100mpg.

enjoy oldschool while you can.
