What if the next Lexus IS F was bigger and badder? How about 450 horsepower, available in sedan as well as coupe and convertible form and aimed at Deutschland's best? Sound good? So far we think so.
According to the folks at Best Car Magazine, the next Lexus IS F may get 475 PS (469.5 HP) out of a 5.0L V8 and will be available for the first time in coupe and convertible variants. This is welcome news for those looking for a true BMW M3 competitor. Now the big question is, will we see a real 6 speed manual or a dual clutch type transmission? We pray to the Lexus gods for this to happen.
