Interesting observations here about what the patent includes. It sure could be for a number of vehicles.
"The patent features many revealing drawings, betraying the engine’s hot-V layout, with both turbochargers residing in the valley between the cylinder banks, reducing lag and improving throttle response. Details within the patent also suggest that a single-turbo layout is also possible, so Toyota could theoretically offer two different versions of the engine for varying power and efficiency requirements. We’d expect the twin-turbo to boast at least 600 horsepower (447 kilowatts).
Merely filing a patent doesn’t guarantee that Toyota will offer the engine in any of its products, but it still seems likely that it should show up in the next generation of Lexus’ performance vehicles, including the rumored LS F, LC F, and IS F. That would give the BMW M–rivaling sub-brand a high-tech flagship engine, and it would also explain why the current IS 500 isn’t a full-blown F model in spite of its prodigious 472 hp (352 kW) – Lexus wanted to leave some room at the top of the lineup for the incoming turbo eight." ~
