If true, this would combine a few of my favorite things. Although I do love the new Lexus, I truly miss the handling of my BMW.

I'd just use the V35A-FTS to be honest. Already in the Lexus LS so surely it would make sense?

The end of the article talks about the IS-F. That's likely the G80 competition I would guess.

Says most likely the IS-F will use the TT V6 from LS cars.
