This is what could have been if Lexus tried to compete with German performance cars: the Lexus TMG Sports 650
I've read some fans argue how it would have made 850 hp or 1000 with "just a tune" but that's just hearsay.

LS 460 competition

Stock LS460 had plenty of top end horsepower, as much as the German luxo sedans in this class.

That main picture is for the LS460 L. Please change to any of the short wheelbase pics below:

Its direct competition includes the Buick LaCrosse Super, Maserati Quattroporte, and to a lesser extent, the Jaguar XJR.
Unfortunately FL no longer lets me upload pictures in my comments, they keep getting autodeleted
