Rumors have surfaced suggesting the next-generation Lexus GS F will feature a turbocharged V8 engine, going against word the mid-size luxury sedan will be discontinued.
In March, Japanese magazine reported that Lexus has decided to ax the GS sedan to give breathing room for the new LS flagship. But now another Japanese publication, , reports a next-generation GS F will arrive powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with over 590 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. The publication also reported the same powerplant will be used on a high-performance version of the LC, possibly the LC F.

There have been plenty of reports suggesting the LC F is in development, including new trademark filings around the world for the nameplate. So while the Lexus LC F seems like a certainty, a next-generation GS F may not be. It’s a stronger possibility the next-generation Lexus ES will essentially place the GS, as the Japanese automaker makes its entry-level sedan larger and more luxurious.
