RC350 power is rated at 318bhp according to the lexus international website, so a small boost in power. Mostly probably due to the true dual exhaust the 3IS, 4GS, and other cars got.

 

I would think It has to be due to more than that, else the 3IS would also be rated at 318

It would destroy every class in this class (BMW, Audi, etc) if Lexus could offer a twin turbo V6 and keep it priced less than $50K. Even a supercharged V6 would be nice. Based on the "real world" mpg numbers everyone is getting on their IS350 F-Sports, I doubt most will mind sacrifing a bit on mpg to gain a lot more performance. Let's face it - our cars are not gas efficient by a long shot as it is.

Other than that, I wouldn't mind having a performance oriented luxury hybrid - something in the ball park of 350-375 ft/lb of torque while keeping the vehicle weight less than 4,000 pounds.

I'm curious to see if the IS350 gets any more power added, but I seriously doubt it with the IS-F coming out soon.

would have to recertify and do the process again, maybe they just waited till the RC came out. Theoretically the 3IS should have more power than the 2IS just from the dual exhaust
