I wonder if there is even a market for such a car with the Lexus name. Sounds like a big leap for them. The engine does sound good though.
They didn't copy the M5 V10 if that's what you're getting at. BMW, MB, Honda, Toyota, Nissan/Renault, Ferrari all have plenty of V10 experience from Formula One. The BMW M-model V8 and V10 blocks are cast in the same plant as the F1 blocks.
