V8 RC F coupe will mean the end of the IS F
I think Lexus will kill off the V8 powered IS F super-sedan but will continue the V8 tradition with its new RC F coupe. The cars are similar in many ways, and the RC F coupe makes more sense as a sports car than does the V8 powered IS F.

Haven't seen confirmation of what will be under the hood, but the IS-F will live on into the next generation. I would guess Lexus will use the same engine for now, possibly go the turbo route sometime down the line in an effort to further maximize fuel economy.

IMO idk if the F will ever be turbcharged. the lower end IS yes but when the RC-F chief engineer was interviewed about the production of RC-F, he sounded like they want to stay away from the turbo charged engines in the F. Its the way to go for efficiency but may not be the direction that lexus wants to go
