A TTV8 sounds like a lot of fun hopefully they go that route. I think the RC-F and if they bring back IS-F should get the TTV6 from the LS500 but thats just me.

I've read that this TTV6 could also be used in the new Supra. I'm sure this engine in some form of tune will be offered on the next gen GS.

Once people start modding and turn up boost on the LC500 just a few psi they may walk all over the NA V8. The F V8 should put out more power imo than it currently does tweak it to get to 500 at flywheel at least.

The LS F will not get forced induction of the V8 until the 2021 model year of the LS F. It will be a twin-turbo 4.0L V8 rated at 600 HP shared with the LC F.

i personally think they'll use this ttV6 for the new GS350, but detune it obviously to maybe 320 hp and 350 lb ft of torque and use a turbo V8 for the next GSF, which I'm hoping this is what does happen so lexus can finally catch up performance wise, they've already nailed the styling of all their cars, now they just need the performance to match up with it
