SPG Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hey all, I managed to stumble across this article the other day, and was intrigued to see that a patent for a Lexus V8TT was being created by Toyota. I know it’s just paper talk just now, but if it comes to fruition, It could be the teeth the Lexus lineup have been missing. Enjoy: https://www.motor1.com/news/506055/toyota-twin-turbo-v8-patent/amp/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Damn that's cool. I've been a fan of the ls-f for a while. More so the last generation rather than the current latest. Feel they've gone a bit too space ship design but the new one photographed there looks well presented. Turbos on v8 are so friggin cool. Wonder if they'd consider a sequential system or just one turbo per bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC93 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Yeh the details are a bit vague, it says it may be configured as a V6 on inline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m12aak Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Very interesting indeed! Although I wonder if this engine (if built) would find it's way into cars in the UK, considering the poor sales performance of the RC F/GS F. I am not in a position to afford one of those cars, but I am surprised that they sold so poorly, I would have considered one if I was in the market for a car of that class etc. How Many Left says there are only 60 GS F's registered, with a further two SORN . I recall Clarkson featuring one on the Grand Tour and praising it, would have thought it'd boost sales! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
