The newest F model features an eight-speed automatic transmission matt an all-new 5.0-liter 32-valve V8 engine with more than 450 horsepower and more than 383 lb.-ft. torque. (it's NA)
Also, for the first time in a Lexus performance engine, the rear-wheel-drive coupe uses the Atkinson cycle at cruising speeds for enhanced fuel economy and then switches to the Otto cycle at higher rpm to enhance performance levels.
the tach looks amazing, but the speedo on the right looks out of place tho being an analog gauge

i am guessing hav to pass emissions worldwide not just here in north america and reliability is probably why too... while bmw is going back to turbo I-6 toyota stick with V8... so definitely props for toyota...
HP numbers aren't everything. You have to remember the segment which the car is competing in. Just as a comparison, the C63 has a 6.2L V8 but only has 451 HP (non-performance pack). But the sound which the engine/exhaust makes IMO far makes up for any perceived lack of power.

This. At what RPM range the power "hits" is important too. All of the above mentioned cars (F150, Mustang, C63 etc.) hit their HP/torque peaks at relatively low RPMs, which makes for more useable power. Cars like Hondas on the other hand, typically need to be revved high to make the most of the available power. No hate
