Well, the IS 300 RWD already exists. But, there's a possibility the 2GR-FKS engine in the IS 350 as we know it will be replaced by the T24A-FTS.

If there's a "500h" model with this engine and a hybrid system, it'd be a severe downgrade in performance compared to the current IS 500.

I don't think they're gonna put money into what will be a 1-model year only powertrain for the 3IS.

Not sure what you mean. What powertrain would be one-year only?

I guess we're getting a little off-topic with speculation on the future IS lol.

I didn't mean that. I was speculating on next-gen IS.

Found these two images, just posted on this link. https://motorallyreview.com/2024-lexus-is-f/ They talk about an extra 20 HP and aero improvements such as the air scoop, carbon fiber roof and front fenders. The kick to the front side of the shorts is the price, expected to be around 70K. They said it is nothing for sure of course, and who knows maybe it is all BS. If it is not, OH MERCY!

As long as it doesn’t come with extending sun visors or a place to put my phone, I won’t be jealous.

In addition to a special blue color, now that would hurt. 😜 Blu wasn’t cast in a Lexus commercial last year, because the Blue Surge Tack Edition RC F was driven by the star. Still haunts me when I see it. 😫😒

I'll believe it when I see it but I do like the RC F vented hood. Don't care for the RC F track edition spoiler on it. I do like the RC F track edition BBS wheels though.

Decent renders but I'm still not believing it. If there was 20hp more to do, why doesn't the RC F track edition have it?

But, but the internet, it told me so. It's from a magazine, they don't just make stuff up and do photoshop do they? The internet doesn't lie! Does it?

82.5% if you want to be precise.
