Now I've hlrd NOTHING on this car and I just don't believe it will happen. Here are recent updates though....

Called the IS-F/R. Rumor has it (based on AutoBlog) that they plan on a 12 horsepower boost (not significant to turn heads), but a 220 lbs reduction in overall weight is what caught my eye....
