Keep in mind there may be several levels of F. While the RC F and GS F are slated for a NA 5.0, a new IS F may use a TTV6 and the LS F and SC F may use a TTV8 with rumored 600+hp. Design chiefs have said there is more power to be had out of this latest V8. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Let the car come out first, from their adding power is easy.
Why? Do it right the first time, by the time you do it the few prospective buyers you had waiting will move on to more powerful cars.

Maybe, could be, might be etc... we've had the run around for a decade. hoovey its all talk and no walk. On the other hand amg m and rs are bringing new engines left and right and no one is asking for them! Lexus risks becoming an acura by taking the safe side... Thats all that Acura does, safe i4 safe v6.

My sentiments exactly. Do Lexus seriously want to shed their image of boring and bland? Do they really want to be viewed as exciting and fun to drive according to Toyoda? Do they want to elevate the F brand to be on the level of ///M, AMG or even RS?

Don't get me wrong. I do like the new Lexus design language. It's very aggressive. But you must meet style with substance. Do you think Lexus has already shed their past image? Do people view the brand like they do the Germans? I like where Lexus is going. But they're not there yet.

Its not about being bland, lexus has fixed that. Its about creating a competitive product. Almost 500hp is alot, but its not enough in todays world.
