I just had the 5K service on my IS 250 F Sport today and my service advisor confirmed that an IS F is coming and it will be forced induction but did not say when. I would guess maybe for 2018 since Lexus needs to release the forced reduction replacement for the 3.5 liter V6 first.

There needs to be one because there is too much of a price gap between the IS 350 F Sport and the GS F (45K vs. 85K). Those of us with families and the need for 4 doors and decent rear leg room would gladly choose the IS F since RC F is not practical for more than 2 passengers. Personally, I prefer the IS over the GS platform regardless of cost. From the chassis, to the power trains, and the suspension, it is a well designed platform that would make a great 3IS F if Lexus would build about 5000 of them. In addition, we need a more reliable alternative to the M3, RS4, and C63.

I think it's safe to speculate that they will release another ISF and that it will have a V6 Turbo set up. They need a competitor for the M3/RS4.

the 2IS-F didn't come out until the 3rd year of production. If Lexus can somehow miraculously come out with a 3IS-F next year as a 2017, it can still have 4-5 years of production life.

Only time will tell. I tend to believe even the service advisors are privy to internal communications regarding products in development that we as auto enthusiasts may not be aware of. At this point, one can only hope. ; ).....Make mine in Atomic Silver!!

With all the talk in this thread about Lexus getting rid of the V8 and the release of the LC WITH the same V8 you have to wonder what is going on..
Why say your ditching V8's and THEN release a brand new car with it?
Even the GS F.. Just came out... Why go with a V8 only to replace it in 2 years?
