Won't happen. TMC has already been very clear on that matter the LF-A engine will not be used on any other vehicle.
The GS-F is more likely to have the same V8 as the IS-F but with a supercharger like the Lotus Esprit was supposed to get.
This will be similar to what AMG does between the C and E class

I think they'd be way ahead to put the G heads on a Tundra short block...supercharging is great, but displacement rocks!

Looking at the dates, it was an April's fool. The announcement was supposed to happen 2 days ago and there is absolutely no mention of it on the Lexus Pressroom website

I think it's meant to refer to the IS gen rather than the F part. The next IS-F would be a version of the 3rd gen IS model, gets confusing as that would mean there never was a 1st gen IS-F going by that naming.
