Default IS-F Turbo
Im hearing that Lexus Japan plans to officially announced the 2010 planned release of a new IS-F Turbo. Reports are that it may be in the 500hp range. News is saying later today (early for them) around 8PM Eastern.

Thanks for the post, my dream has honestly become bigger. Now the IS-F owners will be upset (LOL). Hopefully you can post a link.

Just consider if there will be a turbo model, that also means there will be a turbo kit for the regular one; or maybe even bigger boost kit than the o/e.

If.. if... if...

I guarantee it wouldn't be $100k, heh. If the current ISF is $50-60k, a turbo one would maybe be $70-75k, depending on other changes.
