XE20 Lexus IS-F?
 

Lexus still hasn't decided to give us our precious IS-F, so I decided to do the deed for them.
NOTE: This is still a work in progress. This is very, very sloppy and does not reflect the final product (if that ever comes). Remember, it is just the imagination of a hung-over engineering student, so PLEASE don't kill me.

Here goes nothing:

​​​​​​Lexus IS-F (XE20)

0-60 MPH: 3.651S

0-100 MPH: 8.694S

QUICK NOTE: Lexus does not like to tinker with the engine displacements too much, so the engine displacement would most likely remain a 3.5L.

This thread doesn't even make sense when there already is an XE20 IS-F, the one and only. The only way that car would've worked was to be introduced in early 2015 up to early 2017. Like BMW did with the E46, they felt it necessary to sit out a generation and not produce a XE30 IS-F, in having the coupe XC10 RC-F take its place. That is how the 330i ZHP came to be, as no M3 sedan was made between 1998 and 2007. Only E46 coupe and cabrio.
