Too many wishful thinking around here. Toyota and Lexus do not currently have TT V8 so it is next to impossible to see it in the GS-F. V10 in the LF-A costs tooooooo much so again you will not see it. It will be lucky if we see the re-tuned version of the 5.0 V8 in the IS-F.
Even still, it's not that impossible to turbocharge an existing V8 or add a supercharger. I think that is more realistic than ever seeing the LFA V10 in the GS.
I want V10 Twin Turbo + electric assist.........800 total system power, that should be just about enough 
While I am dreaming, throw in the 4WD system from the Nissan GTR, the PDK tranny from Porsche and it looks like the Bentley Mulsanne inside and out. All for MSRP of $50k fully loaded.
That would be the perfect daily sedan.

The BMW M3 has a high strung v8 which competes with the ISF's torquey v8; and the M5 and M6 have the well refined v10; hence i believe the GSF sedan and soon to be added GSF coupe must have a v10 to be competitive enough in the luxury performance realm which clearly are still dominated by the Germans 
I truly hope Lexus will step up their game in this sector so Lexus owners will have something to be proud of and mainly just to shut up smug Bimmer and Audi owners with their M whatevers and S who cares HAHAHA Nice cars but sorry, i'm a Lexus purists all the way

I'm not a fan of the TT V8, every German automaker are using them. A N/A V8 should've been a option, I would've picked it. But I picked the s/c V8. I think we can rule out the V10, tt v6, st V8.
