  • 2012 Lexus GS 350

    The new 2012 GS model from Lexus will hit the UK market in 2012. The car has been officially unveiled by the manufacturer at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

    The exterior boasts spindle grille with trapezoidal contours integrated into the aggressive front bumper. There are also LED headlights and a rear diffuser housing a dual sport exhaust system.

    The interior comes with redesigned seats frames and changes to the steering column. There are also some high-quality materials like leather upholstery, word trim and ambient lighting. Finally, Lexus has fitted a stylish analogue clock into the dashboard. The SAT NAV system includes 8” display and 12.3” on models with the Navigation package. The air-conditioning is special, too. It can save energy by using occupant-detection technology. The optional 835 WATTS 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system bring perfect sound quality.

    2012 Lexus GS 350 is powered by a 3.5 liter V6, but the company didn’t release any specs. Later, there will be a 2.5 liter model, too and a 3.5 liter Hybrid.

  • 2012 Lexus IS-F Price – €70 600

    Lexus has released further details for the new 2012 IS-F sports car, which is now more powerful and dynamic. The high-performance saloon comes with revised chassis and new individual equipment options.

    2012 Lexus IS-F will still compete against the brutal BMW E90 M3 and the elegant Audi RS4, but the new IS-F has a little advantage – 5.0 liter naturally aspirated high-revving V8 delivering 423PS (311 kW) and 505Nm (372 lb-ft) of torque. 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and top speed of 270 km/h (167 mph). Nice performance!

    The options list includes: BBS individual 19” alloy wheels with 14-spoke design. There are also crimson and black interior.

    Still, the new IS-F is a bit pricy starting at €70 600, so we have to expect that it is brilliant?

    Stay tuned for more information and test videos!

  • 2012 Lexus GS [teaser]

    Lexus will exhibit the new 2012 GS 350 at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on August 18th. Until then, they have released a teaser image, where we can see that the car looks rather like LF-Gh Concept.

    The fourth-generation GS has been completely redesigned – exterior and interior.  It will feature the brand’s new design philosophy, with styling cues such as a distinctive new front grille, that will soon be seen on all future Lexus vehicles. The new GS will also lead the rest of the Lexus lineup in an entirely new direction of driving dynamics.

    Although there are no further information, probably the GS 350 will be powered by the well-known 3.5 liter V6.

    “Today, buyers in the mid-size luxury segment want a more engaging driving experience, styling that makes a statement, and a roomier interior package,” commented Mark Templin, Lexus group vice president and general manager.

    “With the all-new GS, we’re giving them what they asked for, and more.”, he finished.
