Well let's see... if IS-F costs $53,000 and IS350 is $39,000... there's a 36% overcharge for tweaks and redesign of the IS... to make it a "F"
So let's say we start with a $82,000 LS460...
LS-F (if such thing comes to fruition...) will cost $111,520.
Wow, that's cheaper than a LS600hL with Queen Mary Package no?
Unless they make it out of a LS600hL loaded then it would be like $160K!!
Let's see how much my 2nd mortgage would be worth... LOL!
Then again... Keeping my LS430 as is, and getting a Ferrari F430 in addition wouldn't be a bad idea either...if I had that much cash to blow on a depreciating asset.
Afterall, a LS430 already hits 167mph ungoverned from factory...and if I wanted to go faster (like on a slat flat...) LS would be the last car I'd choose to cover it with SALT!!! EEK!
Hummm the IS-F is starting to sound VERY reasonable...
Then again... I'm talking like this while I'm still financing my Prius to pay for all the mods on my LS430!
Hahah! "Something Wicked cometh this way..." And if its a big LS tuned by Formual One Toyota crew...it will surely follow with a LIFETIME of PAYMENTS!!!

Toyota would build anything that would sell.
With that said, if the IS-F sell well, then the GS-F sell well......I am sure there will be a F model in the entire line up.....LS-F, SC-F, RX-F, GX-F......etc. Just like AMG with Benz.
Now AMG got carried away with all the hot rod SUVs and crossover.....M55, R63....etc. They made it, didn't sell, then discontinue. Make sense few people want a REALLY fast SUV, minivan....

Somone was talking about lexus being slow with producing the ISF and their right but how much brains/money does it take the 5.0 thats in the 600 without the hybrid technology slap a s charger on it or use the F V-10 slap a s charger on it put some wheels and suspension on it a body kit and some exhaust and call it a day. Theres no way it wouldn't be worth it. And lexus has a geat chance at being competitive and showing a little more agression when it comes to producing cars.

More accurately, Executive-Class Seating Package II with Optional Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Pre-Collision System Pack. Jacking up the MSRP to about $120,000...
Already that's almost twice the cost of a BASE LS430 in 2006!
Then add the "F" treatment = A TON OF MONEY!

I just stopped working for Lexus and have had some info on this. I also have contacts and inside info as well.
The GS-F is scheduled to make production 2011-2012 with Indy derived 5.0 V10 with 500+ bhp.
No LS-F is scheduled, that's what the 600hL is for....
For now...
