I have heard the GS-F story. The rumors are that it will use the V10 from the LF-A. That could make for a great car if it all comes to pass. I think its a little strange that Lexus will have both a 5L V8 and 5L V10 under the F umbrella. Although, no one knows for sure the V10 will be only 5L, and obviously it will be tuned for a racier character with more power than the V8.

We'll see how Lexus has done their homework when the IS-F tests start rolling in. I think it will perform well, but not at the level of the others in this class. They will need another generation or so to get it right. After all, they still haven't quite gotten the IS itself right.
