TMG has been testing the twin turbo 5.0 650hp in the LS platform for awhile now. Since these are the size of the current M5 and M6, I wonder if they get a detuned version and making about 580hp to compete with the RS6/7 and M5/6

More speculation, but I just read this:

According to Automotive News, Lexus will debut the new RC coupe at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show — here’s some details:

The new coupe will arrive in U.S. dealerships in late 2014, said a company source speaking on condition of anonymity.

The RC will be powered by a 3.5-liter, 306-hp V-6 engine, same as the IS and GS sedans. A hybrid version will be offered in Japan and Europe, but not in the United States.

An RC-F performance version will be unveiled in January at the Detroit auto show. A Lexus source says the RC-F will be powered by a 460-hp V-8, up from 416 hp for the current IS-F.


After all the speculation I've seen, this sounds the most realistic to me
