If that's true...
460hp with a tacked on bodykit and a sawed-out fender vent. Why even bother?
Regarding the RC-F. So far it's looking good however I'm a bit iffy on that weird rear bumper side cutout. From the camouflage it wouldn't appear to be a functional vent, so it's just design, but not sure if it works.... we'll see.

this has got to be a GSF mule. they wont tack on a TRD body kit and call it a GSF. i fully expect the GSF to get the full spindle grille. the regular GS is also due for a facelift to the full spindle grille and 8 speed...

Development mule: ...A vehicle equipped with experimental or prototype components for testing...They may also have advanced chassis and powertrain designs from a future vehicle that need to be tested, but clothed with the body and interior of some other car about the same size....Some noticeable alterations include simple cylindric shapes for the lamps in the taillights, different rims on the front and back without centrecaps, and a severe amount of added plastic and tape to hide the actual shape and design of the vehicle.

the problem is not the GS350, its the GS450h. they expected people to buy a V6 hybrid as a V8 replacement, but that didnt happen. the GSF is going to be the V8 GS that the 450h had no chance of replacing. once you think of this car that way, you can understand why they are sticking with the 5L V8. they are NOT competing with the M5/RS6/E AMG. lexus knows they dont have a chance in that segement. the people who buy those kinda cars will buy them for the badge, not the quality of the car itself. instead imo lexus is trying to make a car like the E60 M5. that was a great car and if lexus can make a driver's car like that, and not the twin turbo monsters the germans have now, then i say
