I hope Lexus says...F it! 6.0L engine for the next V8....oh man...can you imagine how that would sound with a straight pipe?
Why not just tune the current 5.7?

If they could churn out the same HP per liter as the current setup, the 5.7 would yield 475HP. I think that's where it's need to head although I don't know what the difference is between the 2.

I thought the F motor and the 5.7L Tundra/Sequoia motor had nothing in common? I'm most likely wrong though

Default Apparently the IS-F isn't discontinued for 2014

I was reading an article from kbb.com (title: All-new 2014 Lexus IS vs. 3 Series, C-Class and A4) that states: "Lexus says the IS Convertible and high-performance IS-F will carryover to 2014 in their present forms."

2012 IS-F (Mercury Metallic)

Arrow FYI for ALL....

Yes its been repeated a few times already...

But as Lexus USA stated earlier this year the MY 2014 IS-C & IS-F will carry over for one more year..

For what its worth, seems like 2013 IS-F's aren't easy to find just sitting on the lot...
But to my knowledge, the dealerships can still process a "Special Order" build..

True. I've had 4 Supra's and 3 of them have sold for more than I paid for them every time.

Lexus is the last place i would sell my car to....they will lowball the **** outta you like they did to my neighbors ls 460 when he wanted a trade in + cash for the new ls 460. Honestly i would hold on to it and sell it later especially if they wont make another Isf the value will hold pretty dam well and possibly even be worth a bit more...

It was a factor for me.

Among other things, but low on the pole, still much rather the 20+ MPG vs the 14 int he M3... A big + for the IS-F
