There have been some photos circulating the net several weeks back, with the Lexus LS-F testing at Nurburgring, and a LFA GTE race car that will be campaigned at the 24 Hours of Le Mans next year, that have been removed at Toyota’s request, bur appearently they showed up again, as the Lexus has been spied again. These ones show specific details regarding the engine. The widebody DTM-style uber-sedan has taken on the name TMG (Toyota Motorsport GmbH) Edition and it’s believed to have been created by the brand’s motorsports division.
It is powered by a 650-hp engine and according to a spied spec sheet, the TMG Edition’s engine has a displacement of 5.0-liters and revs to 9000 rpm, but the information is not conclusive. It’s believed to either be a larger displacement version of the LFA’s engine or a twin-turbo version of the IS-F motor. It is probably that more details will come out when the car is introduced at the Tokyo Auto Show this December, reason for which not only will we be waiting for the event to happen, but we will stay tuned for some more spy photos and specs in the meantime.
Check out the spy photos we were talking about!
