Lexus offers 15 F Sport models, only three cars have merited a stand-alone F badge: the feisty IS F compact sedan introduced for 2008, the limited-edition LFA two-seat supercar for 2012, and the recent RC F coupe. Now, the Lexus family will expand with a new GS F sports sedan coming in December as a 2016 model.
The car includes a 467 horsepower 5.0-liter V-8, an eight-speed paddle-shifted automatic, and an electronically controlled torque-vectoring differential (TVD). While competitors resort to boost engines in their quest for efficiency and power, Lexus sticks to natural aspiration for sharp throttle response, power that rises aggressively with rpm, and a feral shriek at the 7300-rpm redline.
The Lexus GS F is an RC F with two more doors, a real back seat, and renewed design ahead of the GS sedan’s A-pillars. This spindle-grilled special is the F for families with $85,380 to spend on an alternative to other cars like the BMW M5, Audi RS7, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Cadillac’s CTS-V.
On top of that, you’ll love what comes together with this car – a 12.3-ich center screen controlled by a mouse, colourfully stitched leather, carbon fiber, matte-finish metal and faux suede. Lexus also hopes to sell 2000 units Lexus GS F per year in the US market.
