Wait, I don't get it. So I am guessing that the IS-F will come in the new body style with the same carry over engines just like the IS? This means it shall be slowest in its class yet again of C63, RS4/5, M3 etc. The next IPL is rumored to get a 550ish bhp V6 Biturbo in the Q50.

You are guessing wrong. This is the same car as the 2013. The IS is staggering its model changeover like all other premium makes do.
