Lexus presents a large image gallery of the GS F

Today we had the chance to see an extensive image gallery of the new addition to the F range from Lexus. This is the Lexus GS F, a saloon you can see in full detail and in several body and interior colours, so you can check the different personalisation options available.

This model is powered by a 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine, which delivers 467 CV and a maximum torque of 527 Nm. With these figures, this model is capable of offering an engaging driving experience. And this is no idle claim, as it has been tested on circuits as demanding as the Nürburgring, one of the most demanding, where it passed all the tests with flying colours.

The maximum engine speed is 7,500 rpm, and the associated gearbox is the eight-speed Sport Direct Shift (SPDS), which shifts thanks to the paddles located behind the steering wheel. To deliver the driving experience I mentioned earlier, the Lexus GS F 2016 features four driving modes, allowing it to extract its full performance in each of its settings. These are Normal, Eco, Sport S and Sport S+, each providing specific characteristics for every situation.

To improve rear axle grip and to correct any small deviation that occurs in corners, it features the Torque Vectoring Differential (TVD). This system offers three settings: Standard, Slalom and Track. Each one suits a different speed and style of driving, adapting to the speed and the bends encountered along the road. That said, the figures relating to its performance are one of the best-kept secrets of Lexus.

Safety is also important for Lexus on this model. To enhance it, it features the Lexus Safety System +, which comes as standard with several active safety systems such as Pre-Collision System (PCS), Lane Departure Alert (LDA), Automatic High Beam (AHB) and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) to detect obstacles on the road, prevent unintentional lane changes, and a cruise control to maintain an appropriate distance and speed throughout the journey.
