First Drive: 2013 Audi S6
Americans should be able to get a very nicely equipped S6 Quattro Prestige Plus with S-tronic, a nicer interior than the Euro standard, sport Quattro rear differential, et al. for right around $70,000.

Thread about the S6 seems to be about the GS apparently.

It's easy to shoehorn a V8 into a car or turbocharge an engine.
Much more difficult to get a chassis to handle right. Lexus managed to do the difficult part right with the new GS handling incredibly well out of the box.
If and when new powerplants make their way into the 4GS/3IS, the Germans should get very worried.

This man speaks truth
Although I wouldn't mind a 5.0 liter V8 engine (2UR-GSE) mated with two sets of TRD/Eaton Twin Vortex Superchargers (can output 100 hp or even more).
Haha well anything that would make a GS-F get to 500 hp (stock/bare minimum)

Though personally, I don't mind what method they use...........although I guess Toyota Motor Corporation has more knowledge and expertise on superchargers compared to turbochargers (not entirely sure)
Regardless, any forced induction method would do.
However, if I play devil's advocate here, if Lexus *IF EVER* would stick with NATURAL ASPIRATION, then the ONLY way to do that is by increasing engine displacement AND by increasing the number of cylinders (engine must have more than eight cylinders).
IMHO, that's the only way if a Lexus GS-F would go NA.
