A single teaser image. That is what Lexus has supplied us. However, it is a rather important and exhilarating new “F” product.
The Japanese manufacturer hasn’t released any juicy information, only confirming that this new F model will be unveiled at next month’s North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. According to Lexus the new F has been developed from the “asphalt up”.
It is a pretty safe assumption that it will be the new 2014 Lexus IS-F saloon, since the new IS has been doing the rounds for several months.
Unfortunately we can only speculate as to what engine it will receive. Unlike the upcoming BMW M3/M4, which will use a turbocharged engine, the new F could well stick to a naturally-aspirated V8 engine. In a month’s time we will know for sure.
