Anyone have any details on the next generation IS-F?

Any word on the engine, transmission, suspension, exhaust, release date?

Also wondering if it'll have AWD...

With how much I love the way my IS350 drives, I'd consider same.

And anyone know how many mpg's the prior generation IS-F was getting?

Thanks!

A mystery I'm afraid. With current word that there is no IS-F replacement because of the RC-F we're left with rumor mill.

Speculation suggests still RWD and TwinTurbo future.

IS-F 2008-2014 is rated at 16/23 city/highway and 18 combined.

Considering I average 20 mpg in a 350, that 18 doesn't sound so bad haha. More likely though, I'd just get 12 or 13 in an F. Still tempting!

I would buy an ISF over the RCF since I have kids. I have been holding off trading my IS350 waiting to see what V8 version comes out first. Actually, I'm waiting for any drivetrain update and I've been waiting since 2006. I'm guessing the GSF will be the 4 door F brand sedan. This is Lexus so we have to wait and wait and wait. No reason there shouldn't be an ISF, GSF, LSF, NXF, RXF, GXF, LXF just like the Germans. F sport is a great start, now add some power to the f sport. I'll buy it if you build it. Please...

Thanks for the info, Gentlemen.

Yes, if there will be an RC-F, don't see why there wouldn't be an IS-F, to compete with the C63/M3/RS4, as there'd be economics of scale in R&D; same vehicles, different skin.

At least for the moment, the IS-F doens't seem to be in the cards. Hopefully the M3/M4 duo convinces Lexus otherwise

Hopefully!
