Next gen F glimpse... press release today...
#32
If they approach 480HP then yeah, I could see a fully loaded model close to $75K. The ~500hp C63 is right in that same ballpark when it is fully loaded. I wonder how many they'll sell at that price point though?
It seems like most of the hate comes from the add talking about the "heritage" that the F brand is known for. I did think that was a poor choice of words to be fair, and probably worthy of a little criticism.

BMW is going to 431HP and 406lb/Ft and a 4.0 0-60. i hope Lexus beats the numbers. Our biggest gain over the e92 was the torque difference. Look like Germany caught on.

I have to say if the M3 has the same craoy dashboard layout of the current 3's and 4's I'm not interested at all.

What has me more concerned for Lexus is the projected price point of the M3. That article says "about $60K" which even if it is stripped down, means it looks like it'll be about the cost of the current M3.

From my perspective Lexus does not need to beat the others in HP or pure speed, it is the combination of attributes that attracted us to the IS-F. We looked at Merc and BMW but since ours is a 365 day a year driver, we held reliability above all else while still loving the performance and the look of the F. It is my wife’s daily and even her boss is jealous of her USB F. I look forward to this next itteration and hope to pick one up in a few years when we decide to trade in our current F.

The official detail infor is released in regards of the new M3/M4.
It lloks like the RC-F and possibly next IS-F in a totally different animal.
M3/M4 is only 425HP, but quite lighter than the previous model.
The 1990s instument cluster gets another round LOL.

Disappointing results for that race - the IS-F was fourth in class and best lap was 7 seconds slower than the winning Audi TT. That's an eternity on the track.
