So they spend over a year on a car to NOT make it? It may not be the exact vehicle, but I expect TMG models in the near future. Notice it makes 641hp @6500rpm? They didn't even tax the engine to make that power (9000rpm was the initial redline, not 7450).

well they could use parts of the engineering, engine, etc... or amke TMG performance sub-brand or do nothing with it... a lot of money spent into R&D goes nowhere.

This seems way past a possible LS F and more like a Brabus or black Series as someone mentioned.
LOVE IT!!

Pole Position
Isn't the LS a heavier car than the 5 series sized M5 and E-class based E63? It's one class size larger than the M5/E63 so not surprising it needs more hp to achieve the same 0-60 numbers.

Also to note 3.9 is the claim #, it will be 3.5~3.7 in real life testing if it does come with those 345s tires. F10 M5 have claim # of 4.2~4.4 (I think), real life is 3.7.
Of course it is extremely awesome if Lexus put this car into production.
S63 and S65 all do about the same times, they are a hair slower due to their skinny 275~285 rear tires. All these high power RWD heavy luxury cars are all severely traction limited.
