Is that a real car..or a PS.. i like the exhaust.. pagani inspired..

PS
Are they joking:
Most likely it is powered by a 4.3 litre V8 32 valve engine delivery approximately 300 HP.This car is set to become a rival against models like BMW M3 and Mercedes CLK 55 AMG.

im sure it a PS , but it sounds interesting, i would like to see this.

it should have more than 300hp the is 350 already has 306hp.

yeah man 300hp from a V8 ?? and they want to pitch it agains the m3.. it will be a hard deal

It's a photo chop but for your information lexus has an M3/RS4 killer in progress. The car will push 400hp+ and there are allready pictures of it blazing around the ring with cammo tape.

first the GTR, then the rumoured V10 NSX, and now this. there are some very interesting cars coming out of japan in the near future. oh yea, and the new EVO X is on its way too.

This car will be rounding about 380hp. Nothing less will be expected from this size engine.

Here are pictures of the beast under testing:

The air vents on the hood suggests that the car is going to be pretty powerful and testing in around the ring sugessts that Lexus really want to challange ze Germans. It is said to be called the IS460. 4.6L V8 ,aight?

I agree there must be a mistake am guessing 400hp, i really like what Lexus is doing with their line up, good work.
