  • 2016 Lexus GS F Will Make Debut At 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed

    Lexus GS F is the brand’s latest model, that will make a demonstration for its European audience at the Goodwood Festival of Speed with a drive on the famous hillclimb with Toyota Gazoo Racing pilot Mike Conway behind the wheel.

    The machine will demonstrate incredible confidence with the special V8 engine and with the numerous upgrades, that it comes with. Despite the fact, that Goodwood hill is not capable of providing terrain, so the vehicle can demonstrate its full abilities, the place is still a wonderful start for a bit of demonstration of what the vehicle can really do.

GS F comes with sharpened performance and handling, along with a reinforced shell, fine-tuned suspension system and the special Torque Vectoring Differential: GS F is the first vehicle, to be geared with such a technology.

    The heart of the beast is in fact a monstrous 5.0-Liter V8 engine, that produces a total of 470 hp (345 kW) and 530Nm of torque.

    And along with the latest model, that will be shown at the Goodwood presentation, Lexus is looking forward to showing and other models at the show. For example the LFA supercar and the RC F GT 3.

    This year’s Festival of Speed surely will be one of the most interesting events, when it comes to the world of automobiles.

  • When Performance Comes in Blue: 2016 Lexus GS F

    One of the most-anticipated cars by Lexus this year has been presented at the 2015 North American International Auto Show. The high performance vehicle is dubbed Lexus GS F. It really represents a pioneer in the F-line since it is the first to be based on the larger mid-sized GS luxury sedan.

    Trying to slightly get away from its comfort zone, Lexus aimed at producing a car that is rather performance-oriented with a luxury flavor. As a result, this time the automaker left behind the days when Lexus sedans had that deprived of edginess look and were quite plain, comfort-based and even boring. Thanks to the naturally-aspirated 5.0-litre V8 engine, the 2016 Lexus GS F turns into a vehicle which is all about power and breaking the rules. The power output is that of 467 HP (348 kW) while the maximum torque is 527Nm (389lb-ft).

    The engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox with manual-shifting capabilities and three modes: Normal, Sport S and Sport S+. Found in the RC F model, the Torque Vectoring Differential (TVD) is used here as well, offering three operating modes: Standard, Slalom and Track. There is also a refined and specially designed suspension system which complements the boosted output. Benefiting from 19-inch alloy wheels with larger tires (255/35-19 front, and 275/35-19 rear) as well as from an upgraded braking system, the new GS F just demonstrated a bit more aggressive character.

    Some of the features that additionally underline the acute nature of the Lexus GS F are: the enlarged Lexus’ trademark ‘spindle’ grille, with a mesh pattern and large gaping air vents, refined side skirts, a carbon fiber boot lid spoiler and headlights with L-shaped daytime running lamps. Inside, the cabin arrives with front sport seats, two-tone leather and Alcantara upholstery as well as carbon trims and a sports steering wheel.

  • Lexus Announcing new F-High-Performance Model. Could it be a GS F?

    Lexus just teased with couple of images its addition to the F-high-performance range. This is the second vehicle that will be added to company’s growing stable of F cars. Earlier this year the luxury automaker unveiled the brand new RC F and announced that it will debut at 2015 Auto Show in Detroit. This is where we will also see the reveal of a new F model. In particular, it is scheduled for 13th of January, so don’t expect it earlier.

    RC F is expected to be launched in February next year. It is powered by a 5.0-litre, 32-valve V8 engine. This unit was specifically created for the car. It is linked to a calibrated eight-speed Sports Direct Shift transmission thanks to which it can help the sports vehicle achieve an impressive 450 hp (330 kW) and 520 Nm (384 lb-ft).

    Besides this information and the two photos, the Japanese brand did not disclose anything else. We are wondering whether this is a more extreme version of the RC F or a brand new one. Rumors suggest that the car is likely to be based on the GS line-up.

    Judged by the pictures, the highly-probable GS F features new headlights and boomerang-shaped DRLs. There is also a more masculine front bumper and multi-spoke lightweight alloy wheels finished in black. Underneath them we see oversized brakes. We also see that Lexus added carbon-fiber bits.
