it looks sooooo good but its sooo slow and heavy

So funny at this time: More than 300 hp is nothing anymore. I remember a time when my 160hp Corrado was one of the quickest cars in school. Tuning it to over 210 hp was a real big thing. 200 hp was kind of the magic number at that time. Not that those cars have been slow. Around 250 km/h was possible with that power. Seems not to be quick enough for today's owners.

Right? It's amazing. In ~2005 BMW debuted the N54 engine in the 335i (I think) and it made a little over 300hp. Now, we get 311hp without a turbo from a similar displacement. Technology marches forward.

@@revmatchtv Yes - it`s going forward in crazy steps. I would still prefer a light vehicle with less hp. I had a Elise with just 122 hp and it was one of the most fun cars I have driven.

@@revmatchtv the original IS350 made only 5 hp less in 2005. The poor gear ratios made the car a lot slower than the second Gen. if it were still a 13 second car like the original IS350, I doubt many people would complain. Unfortunately, it’s gonna need more power. 14 second quarter mile is unacceptable for a $50k+ performance vehicle.

for the average person, it has more than enough power at 0-60 in 5.6 seconds. Clearly though, if you're a car enthusiast, the power will be lacking as there are much faster alternatives out there.

Not only the V8. Lexus also works with Mazda on an inline 6. Some data are showing that this engine will allegedly make aroun 350 hp, naturally aspirated. This will be achieved with a very smart cam profile adjustment system (probably valve timing, valve duration and valve lift all combined). Whatever, this is a change that is planned for the next RC first, and then will go down on the 4 IS. So if this engine is interesting to you, you are in for a long waiting period.

The new IS is definitely a looker but it needs a new powertrain I heard that Lexus has a new V6TT in the works!

I work at a Lexus dealer and yes we already have a TTV6 in the LS500. But rumor has it they have been working on a new TT 4.0 V8 to put into production in the ISF/RCF. Lexus Is finally getting into boosted motors. The 8AR-FTS 2.0 turbo motor is the first Toyota turbo motor completely made by Toyota. The 2JZ was made in partnership with garret turbos, and wasn’t completely made by Toyota. The new TT V8 looks to be two 2.0 turbo engine fused together. Exciting stuff!
