A Lexus has offered 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. Letting propagation take its course, the Lexus family will grow with a new GS F sports sedan arriving in December as a 2016 model.
In essence, the GS F is an RC F with two more doors, a real back seat, and fresh design ahead of the mainstream GS sedan’s A-pillars. This spindle-grilled special is the F for families with $85,380 to spend on an alternative to Audi’s RS7, BMW’s M5, and Cadillac’s CTS-V, as well as the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG.
Lexus hopes to sell 2000 GS Fs in the U.S. per annum, a reasonable goal considering this brand retailed 311,000 cars last year in its pursuit of luxury leaders Mercedes-Benz and BMW. What the newest F lacks in horsepower to attack the performance gods, it makes up with a lighter curb weight and a significantly lower price. The spindle grilles may be an acquired taste, but everyone can grasp the value concept.
