It's a RC-F rendering. I really hope the lights are like the GS instread of the IS. I can't stand the Nike swoosh

My thoughts exactly! I'm not feeling the new IS or this RCF's LED's in the bumper. I'd rather see it connected to the headlights or completely separate in the fog light area kinda of like some of the Mercedes I've seen.

This is just a magazine rendering of what they think it will looks like under all that camo. I really hope they got the headlights wrong. Other than that, the car looks sweet

Sounds an awful lot like a 2UR-GSE under the hood...

Rendering looks too much like a G37 coupe to me, not a fan

I dunno. After seeing the styling of the latest IS in person, I think it could grow on me.

Really? I thought it sounded a little different, almost as if Yamaha tuned the motor specifically to produce a pleasant sound (like they did with the LFA).

Reports also said it'll have something around 460 HP, which pretty much is on par with what the new M3 will offe.r

2UR-GSE and any Toyota engine with a "G" meant that the head was worked on by Yamaha. This has been the trend since the 2000gt collaboration. I can't recall for the 2000gt engine code but every motor since with the "GE" means that the head came from Yamaha. "FE" is Toyota head
