I think Lexus will kill off the V8 powered IS F super-sedan but will continue the V8 tradition with its new RC F coupe. The cars are similar in many ways, and the RC F coupe makes more sense as a sports car than does the V8 powered IS F.

Haven't seen confirmation of what will be under the hood, but the IS-F will live on into the next generation. I would guess Lexus will use the same engine for now, possibly go the turbo route sometime down the line in an effort to further maximize fuel economy.

"Supposedly" according to MotorAuthority, there is going to be an "FS" line. ie) RC-FS, etc..

The F "S" cars will get 600hp turbo 5.0 V8 motors....but who knows.

I would like to see the F stay the top of the lexus sports line.

IMO idk if the F will ever be turbcharged. the lower end IS yes but when the RC-F chief engineer was interviewed about the production of RC-F, he sounded like they want to stay away from the turbo charged engines in the F. Its the way to go for efficiency but may not be the direction that lexus wants to go

Pretty much like Blackseries AMG, very limited number of cars. I'm actually welcoming this idea. Give me option for POWER!!

further maximizing fuel economy makes good sense.
