Default Rumor Mill: Toyota Developing V6 Turbo for Lexus GS, Possibly Supra



There's lots of rumors flying around Lexus and Toyota at the moment, so take this for what you will. But it all sounds promising in theory.

I want it so bad, its all I have been waiting for a twin-turbo GS to compete with rivals. They better make the horsepower good.

If they do come out with a turbo, they will have to de-tune it so it doesn't pirate sales from the GS-F (like the BMW 535i vs. 550I. I'm not holding my breath on it being tuneable if the current ECU is any indication, but I would LOVE it if it were

So....

GS200t (Entry level, 4 cyl Turbo)
GS350 (V6)
GS350t (with V6 Turbo)
GSF (Naturally aspirated V8)

A turbo V8 for the GSF would be nice too.

You think they'll offer a V6 and a V6T?

Would be nice, that stepping stone to the GSF

I don't think they're gonna do a na V8 for the F. I think they're prolly gonna do a V8 turbo. They can't compete with na anymore.

Am I missing something here? I thought the GSF was already here? 467hp V8 from the RCF and a GS200t?

The GSF is already here, yeah, you're missing the hierarchy that is possible in the future. I'm betting it goes like this:

GS200t 2l Turbo
GS350 NA V6
GS350T 3.5l TTV6 (400+ hp to catch up to the Infiniti Red Sport and others while getting better mileage than the regular v6)
GSF NA V8
GSFS Supercharged V8 (honestly makes the most sense, given what Cadillac is doing)
