and depending on its weight, it might not NEED 600 hp to hang out with vipers and zo6's.

knowing toyota im sure the v10 will be at least 10:1 compression if not more. but im sure someone will have twin snails on it in no time.
10:1 Compression with 2 snails?? I would hate to have to clean up that track after that thing kabooms.

im sure something will be done to bring down the compression. u dont just slap on a turbo to a n/a motor of that much compression. I Like it

lol so i guess you guys dont pay attn to hondas much.

im just saying the newer dohc v8s all have higher compressions.

old school single cam v8's usually were 8.5:1 or 9:1 motors in stock form, but had grunt in other ways.

and yeah it will be expensive but that hasnt stopped rich guys from TT'ing ford GTs and such. oh to have money!

Actually the pictures without all of that hoonaz do resemble a Lexus definetly.

Latest I've heard is the 500ps will be from a V8 instead of a V10. I doubt they'd just take their new 2UR-FE or whatever their new 5.0 V8 in the IS-F is and plop it in the LF-A though

BMW has 10.2:1 compression on their N54B30 twin turbo engine. Something like almost 10 psi of boost too.

Direct injection is a wonderful thing
