2011 Lexus GS-F V10 500+ Horse Power
We don’t have all the details as of yet but Toyota engineers are working on the next-generation Lexus GS to be able to package the supercar's V-10. The Lexus GS-F apparently hasn't been approved for production yet but is expected to have over 500 horses to propel it to the next level.
Toyota’s new V-10 has emerged as the engine Lexus will use in its supercar.
Toyota hasn't announced the engine, or even made the supercar official, but Toyota was quoted to be considering either their V-10 or a twin-turbo version of the LS sedan's V-8.
The new V-10 was to be Toyota Formula 1 based engine, but the Formula 1 series now uses only a V-8, and the street engine has been developed with diminished connection to the racing engine.
The Lexus GS-F, once approved, would hit the streets about a year after an all-new GS scheduled for the 2011 model year.
We expect the new GS will be very similar to the V-8 powered IS-F. The transmission is likely to be a modified eight-speed automatic from the Lexus LS 460, allowing full manual mode via paddles and ultrafast shifts.
The Lexus GS-F is set to hit showrooms in late 2010 with a price tag of $70,000 to $80,000
