415 in the M3 and M4 versus an anticipated 450 in the new F.

 

I just picked up an RX 350 for the wife, so 2 doors will be resonating here in PA.

 

You're talking about the current M3. The 2014 M3/M4 will have at least 450hp too.

 

^^ this

the current isf and e9x m3 both have about the same hp

the next gen will all have 450+hp

 

And the midsizes have around 550hp or roughly 100 more hp. Last gens were low 500's and small luxury sport were at low 400's (some exceptions like C63 AMG). So on average a 50hp bump every few years

Is it me or is the front end missing something? Not really feeling the front. I hope it looks better once all the camo is removed.

 

getting out of hand, but i love it

if the rcf is really coming out with 450+hp (which it seems so and i love that fact), lol where are those who said lexus isn't going after the hp war and only does their own thing just kidding. for all i care what i have known so far lexus is doing it right

 

I am really interested in how much hp the GS-F will put out and how it will go about achieving that.

Supercharged 5.0L V8 like the TMG LS460? Some other new engine technology to keep it naturally aspirated but on par with the M5's/RS6's/E63 AMGs ?

 

what! car looks amazing, Im getting the same tingling feeling I had when I first saw the isf.....

Ill be picking this up 2 years after release for a nice lower price.

Front fenders have LFA influence....I love this rendering.....

 

Lexus needs a coupe soooooo badly. The best looking one on the road today is the A5.

Can't wait to see these on the road.

 

This would be so awesome! It's like 1998 again

 

That is still true, so far Lexus is only competing in the C63/M3/RS4 level. I don't see a 550 hp+ GS-F and LS-F coming anytime soon. The GS-F will just come with the same 460 hp V8, unrestricted to 480 hp at best, but I doubt it.

 

Well the RC will surely have 461-480hp. I honestly doubt it and would love to be wrong but I don't think the GS-F will have 550hp - but this will tell us if Lexus was in the power wars

 

I love to be wrong too. I can use a 600 hp LS-F.

The current 381 hp LS F-Sport is not much of an upgrade from my 290 hp LS430 Ultra, I can barely feel the difference in acceleration with my old butt. With the extra weight, is only like 50 hp quicker

I can feel the push from 500+ hp AMGs!! But I don't want to fix them
