When you first here of a Lexus model dubbed the “LS 650,” you might realize that the number denomination is bigger than the normal “LS 460” nameplate.  For auto enthusiasts, this is a good thing.  Developed by Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG), the LS650 was first spotted testing at the ‘Ring a few years ago and has resurfaced as a “feasibility study” that will debut at the Essen Motor Show in Germany next month.  Not only is it intriguing to see Lexus act quickly and assuredly on its promise for a more sporting and inspired lineup, but the car is said to house a twin-turbo 5.0 liter V8 good for over 600 horsepower and nearly 200 mph.  The Lexus LS has been a worthy competitor to the likes of the Mercedes S-Class for some time now on the luxury front, but could this new heavyweight steal customers from the S65 AMG bunch?
