SuperCharged 4GS F-Sport?
There is a guy in various auto sites whose I have paid attention for sometimes. While he is a Toyota fan and always defends Toyota/Lexus, I must give him credits for what he said (or Predicted). From the 3RX/RXh power and milage to the 4GS and the New Camry. His screen name is BlackDynamite or Dr. Fill.....
He said that the 4GS F-Sport will sport a TRD supercharger with about 60+ HP. Sounds very interesting, eh? Remember, the Tundra Ironman package? with more than 500 hp/tq we know that Toyota can do something great if they wanted too. Also, the TRD superchargers have been proven reliability.
What are your thoughts?

F-Sport or the mythical GS-F?
If it's the F-Sport they're debuting at SEMA....366 HP is sufficient. Can't wait till they overhaul the engine offerings though.

Interesting.
I actually said a while ago, that I don't think it would be totally impossible for Lexus to do something like slap electronically assisted turbos onto the LHD system to get a FI hybrid powertrain. Better fuel economy and tons more power.
I doubt that F Sport will be much more than suspension and cosmetic upgrades to the interior and exterior, but I certainly wouldn't be mad if that model add forced induction

Definitely a possibility, TRD offered supercharger kit for many Toyota vehicles, from the top of my head, 4-bangers in the Tc, Xb, V6 in the Tacoma and the 5.7L V8 in the Tundra.
It make sense if for some reason Lexus don't want to offer a blower from the factory, they offer it as a dealer install kit after sales.

Nice, according to the Toyota website, the supercharged 2GR-FSE engine makes 360hp/367ft-lb torque.

Wow...so put a cold-air intake, exhaust and that supercharged engine in the F-Sport...should sound really good! All that with 19/20" wheels, larger brakes, better springs and shocks...probably means we will never get a GS-F, depending on how well the F-Sport sells.
