Hey Lexus, you remember this?
Drop the entire drivetrain into this:
Bam, instant LS-F! S65/RS7/hypothetical M7/Rapide/etc competitor! I’d buy two.

But they’d make the engine “quiet” and “elegant” because it’s a luxury car of course.

Nice try.
You’re still getting a ride in neither of my LS-F’s bruh.

But does Lexus own the rights to the engine or is it all Yamaha?

Toyota owns most of Yamaha.

Or how about putting one in one of these, but make it a dually and pour on the torque.

That would be a nice way to recoup their cost on the LFA’s development.

Is the S65/RS7/760/Rapide quiet? Honest question.

I can’t speak to most of those, as I haven’t driven them. The previous-gen 760LI I drove was insanely quiet. It just made a little hum as you accelerated. That could just be down to BMW not really wanting to put much effort into the V12 at that point, though.
I have driven an S6 extensively, though, and it’s also very quiet for a V8. Granted, two turbos tend to mute the exhaust sound a bit, but it doesn’t sound any more impressive than a Tahoe.

I can’t talk about an RS-7 but my S600 is pretty quiet on the inside anyways and the last time I rode in a 760 I remember it being quiet. I've never even seen a Rapide.

I guess the Rapide HAS to be quiet haha.

Not enough torque. Detune it a little and slap on a turbo, then you’re golden.

I think they should put the TRD supercharged version of the 5.7 in the LS. More power and much more torque.

That does sound like a pretty smart idea. And perhaps a Hino developed diesel option as well?

Better idea: Since you wasted all that money engineering the damn thing, and since you still put it in your commercials.....
Maybe just... you know... make more of them.

Nah. That engine doesn’t have enough torque for an LS F.
The RC F V8 and two turbos however...

I was unaware of this. Also, I thought they were all destined to be leased for two years to “suitable candidates” so that they would be driven and not kept as garage queens.

I believe that dealership owners bought them with the intention of flipping them and using them to attract customers, but I have literally no proof so who knows
