Unveiled this morning over in Detroit



Quote:
The newest F model features an eight-speed automatic transmission matt an all-new 5.0-liter 32-valve V8 engine with more than 450 horsepower and more than 383 lb.-ft. torque. (it's NA)

Also, for the first time in a Lexus performance engine, the rear-wheel-drive coupe uses the Atkinson cycle at cruising speeds for enhanced fuel economy and then switches to the Otto cycle at higher rpm to enhance performance levels.

It's okay...

Not sure about the front hood, bulging like that (for the bigger engine).

It doesn't look proportionately balanced for the front end.

I prefer the regular RC.

I share the same thoughts. The bulge in the hood makes the car look bulbous. Bulbous != sporty.

If they needed more room for a big V8, shouldn't they have learned from the IS-F and allocated more space during the design process?

5L V8 and only 450hp?

That's kinda weak...I would expect over 500hp for that kinda displacement.

the mustang 5l v8 only has 420hp though (gt)

and the f150s ti-vct 5l v8 has less torque and hp

HP numbers aren't everything. You have to remember the segment which the car is competing in. Just as a comparison, the C63 has a 6.2L V8 but only has 451 HP (non-performance pack). But the sound which the engine/exhaust makes IMO far makes up for any perceived lack of power.

This. At what RPM range the power "hits" is important too. All of the above mentioned cars (F150, Mustang, C63 etc.) hit their HP/torque peaks at relatively low RPMs, which makes for more useable power. Cars like Hondas on the other hand, typically need to be revved high to make the most of the available power. No hate

Lets be honest, the majority pf the rich people who buy it won't use more than a fraction of the power anyways.
