Smile Lexus IS 250 AWD tuning options.

Guys come on, I ve been searching for so long for tuning info and all I could found is audio, console, electric inquiries (dont know how to spell that).Anyways, I am a fun of AWD and I would like to know how bad this car can be. Feel free to upload pictures of course.
Rumour has it that there is a brand new IS350AWD coming out. What you know about that?
They are also saying that soon, almost every Lexus and Toyota model will have its Hybrid version. I am a big fun of hybrid technology as well, I am telling you all, if yu dont agree, you should simply test drive either the RX or the GS.

Guess we just have to wait patiently for the mods to come out because most of them are geared toward the 350.

No superchargers for this car out yet? No bi Turbo? No 400 horsepower for this car? No 0-60 in 5 seconds? Come on, there has got to be something. It is a Toyota engine, I searched everywhere and found nothing.
So is there going to be and IS350 AWD?
The GS300AWD,does it share the same engine with the Toyotq Supra? If it does , does it mean it can take allthe upgrading that supra engine gets?

The IS250 has direct injection and a 12:1 compression ratio. Sophisticated electronic engine controls that achieve a SULEV-2 emissions rating. Not to mention a very tight engine compartment. Plenty of engineering has to be done to create safe performance add-ons.

I'm sure it could handle it for a little while. Maybe 6 or 7 months
