Most likely a twin turbo V6 or V8. Supercharger would be nice from the factory but b/c of all the new stringent EPA and MPG requirements, turbo seems the most likely...or even some form of hybrid motor. We can all speculate all we want and dream but we'll just have to wait 'til it happens 
I would love some super output hybrid and AWD...closer to the new NSX

Unless the definition of vehicle connectivity has changed, I doubt that Lexus would drum up attention to a problem that they wont recognize. Sounds like some kind of logging software for track days?

What useful purpose would measuring my HB offer to an RCF driver? Has the F division decided if you cant make this a drivers car, lets make it health friendly by measuring the drivers heartbeat incase they have any defects or health issues SMH

I actually just read the first post. Didn't know it's connectivity and that it's for the upcoming year/s' models. But I'm sure Lexus is working on the pump and/or controller issue.

Officially Lexus does not recognize a pump issue. Maybe a TSB of sorts or case by case issue. Plus I doubt Lexus would be announcing anything bad in terms of the RC-F. Solving an issue is great news for owners, but terrible for would be customers. I`d guarantee though a fix redesign is probably already implemented on the production line though
