Not much news on it yet, but in order to compete with bimmers M class it'll take more than just the F badge. GS looks way too mature for a sport car more like a family vehicle.

GS-F will need to be a coupe.

A GS F coupe would be awesome but most likely the GS F will be in sedan form just like the BMW M5...

Didn't the GS start the "4door" coupe trend WITHOUT calling itself that?

Isn't a four door coupe a sedan? The very nature of a coupe is two doors and nothing more...seems oxymoronish to me...

I would like a low calorie meat lovers pizza please with powdered water. Then I'll go play darts on my inflatable dart board. Afterwards I'll go play in the dark with my solar flashlight...hehehehe...

After hearing the v10 in the LFA, I'm very interested in a GS-F with this motor.

Ideally, they should make BOTH a GS-F sedan and a GS-F coupe (like the 6-series). But I would say a coupe version is probably unlikely.

I would be satisfied already if they have SC-F, IS-F, IS-F coupe, and GS-F sedan for the next generation

With the next M5 supposedly getting a V8, will Lexus stick with the LFA V10 for the GS-F?

It's twin-turbo V8 for the M though ... so unless Lexus want to twin-turbo their V8 too ...

Lexus already have a V10, why not use it for a couple more models like SC-F & GS-F ? ...

Agreed, not just for the sheer coolness of a V10 but also to amortize costs.

I hope the see a new SC and GS-F soon! But my patience has practice. With the IS-C perhaps they will see fit to take the SC in a different (size wise; mission profile) direction. An SC-F would be most welcome.

A 552hp V10 in a GS F would be comparable to an M5 V10 with 500hp...build it Lexus...
