Take a Scion tc. Put the V8 430 engine in it. Package it with some luxury trims (leather, wood, navi, etc), add a couple of air bags, replace all Scion badge with Lexus. Add a $50,000 price tag. There you have a new Lexus supercar!

Two things:
1. The chassis most likely would not be able to handle all that power
2. Real supercars are RWD
Good news is that the Lexus LF-A is likely going to be turned into a production car.

Bad, very bad. There would be more to the transformation than just simply dropping in the big engine, luxury items, and changing badges.
The physical size and torque of the engine would make it necessary to add extra "beefing" to the chassis and some bracing to keep the engine from twisting the chassis. ..or completely new chassis for that engine.
The Tc already has airbags.

Sounds like it would be a pile crap that I wouldnt piss on to put it out if it was on fire.
So this wannabe supercar is gonna be FWD too? What a joke.
How about Lexus just finishes developing the LF-A...considering it has a V10, goes about 200mph, and is RWD already.

Not quite. If you think the Scion tc chassis can "take" a 430 hp engine...you're way off.
