Lexus IS430
Was just at a local Sushi restaurant perusing the huge stack of tuner magazines they have sitting at the take out table. Apparently some company in Germany shoe horned the big V8 engine from the LS430 into the IS and supercharged it (11.2psi) to boot. Numbers were 396hp and just about the same if not more torque. Anyone else seen or heard about this?

Ok, I found a few websites.
The tuner is TTE but some website admin is reporting that Lexus is readying on an all wheel drive V8 6spd for sedan and sportcross.

Oops, clarification. The supercharged V8 is from TTE, the 6spd all wheel drive V8
is something Lexus is working on. Says nothing about a supercharger from them.
