I thought some of you might find this interesting. While reading about Toyota's new supercar concept in the new issue of Road & Track(pg 44) it stated that they may use a version of a 5.0L V12 that is used in a big limo type sedan called the Century that they sell in Japan. Does anyone know anything about this engine and do you think that Lexus will ever have a version in a car that they sell in the U.S.?

 

dam 1sicklex, i wish they would of had that V-12 for my LS

 

Sick Lex Coupe, I read that article you mentioned - says toyota currently has a five liter V-12 they use in a limousine only in Japan and if they build a supercar (as you said) then it may use that engine or a version of the 4.3 liter. They said the 4.3 liter is good for 400hp. The article mentioned that the vehicle would be a toyota - maybe/hopefully a lexus supercar will be in the making. Anything of this type is a far off anyway.
