New Lexus IS-F - 2 door to be renamed RC-F - What engine is this?

LOL! Indeed… Except it will cost 2.5-3x the Scion and not handle as well… It should be faster though… lol

Word from Lexus is that output will be “well above 330kW”.

that’s funny

well above 442 hp. AKA well above the M3 and RS4.

Not sure if anyone has noticed but the C63 is just nuts now. 507 hp and 480 hp are the power levels now.

What about pricing? I’m guessing ~ $70k.

These cars hold their value pretty well - used ISFs with reasonable mileage are still north of $40k.

It’s almost always had the same motor of the E63 and it was just detuned to keep some allure to the E63. Doesn’t look to good when the sedan that costs $30 less is as fast or faster than the next step up.

But agreed. With the new turbo M3/4 it’ll be a fun match to watch. The M5/6 both saw huge gains like the RS6 / S8 have seen, so the M3/4 will likely be the same. The C63 with a tune should be insane though. That’ll probably be a mid-low 11’s car with only a tune.
