It’s four and a bit years away, but some sources believe the GS-​​F will carry the 500HP V10 slated for the LS-​​F con­cept, set­ting it squarely in the BMW M5’s path, and pos­si­bly the Audi RS6’s.

Details for the For­mula 1 inspired pow­er­plant aren’t set in stone and are vague at best, all we know is it’s a sub-​​five litre 500HP V10, and it will be dropped into the new 2011 GS body. The GS-F’s trans­mis­sion pre­dicted to be a paddle-​​shifting fully man­u­al­ized mod­i­fied 8 speed auto­matic, and styling is expected to fol­low along the IS-F’s body cues.
