Rumors about a Lexus LS F have been floating around
for awhile and Toyota Motorsport GmbH even showed off a 641 hp concept several
years ago.
Apparently
taken from a Japanese magazine, the image shows the high-performance sedan
would have an aggressive front fascia with a massive spindle grille that is
flanked by large air intakes.
Moving further back, the car has front fender vents
and revised side skirts. There also appears to be muscular rear fenders, a
reduced ride height, and large alloy wheels. While it would be easy to dismiss
the model as a magazine rendering, the publication notes the RC F was given an
early reveal in a similar fashion. The timing is also interesting as reports
have suggested Lexus could unveil an LS F or LS F concept at either the Tokyo
Motor Show or the North American International Auto Show.
If Lexus is indeed working on an LS F, it could be
powered by a new twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine that develops around 600 hp. The engine is also expected to be used in the LC F.
