New Lexus IS F to Debut Next Year
Rumor has it that Lexus is working on a next-generation IS F model, despite past reports of its cancellation.
Now that the RC F has been officially revealed, attention is back on the IS F sedan model and whether or not Lexus will give it the next-generation treatment. According to Japanese magazine Mag-X, the Japanese automaker is working on the vehicle with a debut possible sometime in 2015.

The RC F is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine that will put out at least 450 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. If Lexus does move forward with a next-generation IS F, the same powertrain is likely to find its way onto the sedan.
