Audi's RS7 is faster 0-60 and has more power than the R8. That's how it should be done since the RS7 is the newer car.

Im guessing announcement at Tokyo/Detroit auto shows, goes on sale aug/sept 2014 as 2015 MY. This would be the most opportune time to roll in a 350 engine power upgrade for IS/GS/RC to promote the car. Main reason Im holding out for a 2015 IS350 F Sport. If they dont improve the power, then an engine upgrade isnt coming anytime soon

You could make the GS-F faster than the LFA in a straight line, but then that's not what the LFA is all about. The LFA will always remain a halo and symbol of change, but progress requires pushing further. So I don't believe they'd limit the GS-F over a hp cap with a now defunct supercar. I'd imagine either they don't want to play in the power wars or and most likely, biding time while gearing up with the Twin Turbo mills in Lexus's near future
i always think it's amazing when ppl keep on saying they can't make the gsf (or whatever f) having more hp than the lfa. look at mb and the sls. and not to mention, lfa is in the PAST already. production ended, car, done, period

That's what I say, people keep comparing it to the M5 and E63 
I look at it as all we got now is a 300 hp V6 GS350, a 465 hp V8 GS-F? HALLELUJAH!!
It would be like Honda make a new NSX and people automatically compare it to the 458, 12C and Gallardo, since the original NSX matched or exceeded the specs of the Ferrari 348 in the same era.

Again peak HP figures are not everything.
