Toyota has been hyping the testing of the Lexus RC F GT500 race car which is currently taking place at Okayama International Circuit in central Japan.

This video gives you a listen to the turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter inline-four that produces 500 hp. Even though the Lexus RC F GT500 race car has half the cylinders of last year's Lexus SC430 race car, the power generated is around the same.

seems like everyone in gt500 is going with turbo 4 cylinders.

Yup, thankfully it still sounds good. I just miss the sound of the V8 they had in the SC430.

Force induction very much a part of this new era don't be surprised if you don't see anymore v8s... well for imports at least.
