This engine is guaranteed to go in the all-new LS460, the GS460 (replacement engine for the current all-new GS430), SC460, and possibly the rumored IS460, which may specifically end up being bumped up in displacement to 5.0L to become the IS500.
If all of this really pans out successfully, looks like Lexus may have finally decided to step up and join the performance war game. I don't ever expect them to attempt to become king of the hill in this respect. But it is nice to know that you do have the option of very worthy performance with any brand you want; possibly now including Lexus.
