Lexus GS F specs

https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/comparison-audi-s6-4-0t-quattro-vs-cadillac-cts-v-sport-vs-lexus-gs-f/ THE GS F does 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds, the 1/4 Mile in 12.8 seconds @ 112.2 mph, and the Motor Trend Figure 8 circuit in 24.3 seconds.
Please can you add these results @FastestLaps

@fastestlaps this car revs to 7000 rpm and 4000 rpm, not 7 rpm and 4 rpm

Hear me out on this, the Lexus GS F is not as slow as everyone thinks. Lexus has a Magnuson supercharger that fits this car the same way it does the LX570 SUV and its Toyota stablemates. However, they decided against slapping it anyway in a factory GS F to avoid the gas guzzler tax. With that being said, owners of 5.0-liter Lexus cars are more than welcome to visit TRD for complete installation.

100-200 kph just about 0.5 seconds faster than in a BMW M5 from 2001... that's not good at all.

'Lexus issued a press release saying that production of the GS will end as of August 2020.'

but why ?

i believe doug has the answer :)

[2018 Lexus GS F] Motor Trend 6/2018 test results:
0-30 mph = 1.9 s
0-40 mph = 2.6 s
0-50 mph = 3.3 s
0-60 mph = 4.5 s
0-70 mph = 5.7 s
0-80 mph = 7.1 s
0-90 mph = 9.3 s
0-100 mph = 10.1 s
1/4-mile = 12.8 s / 112.7 mph
Braking, 60-0 mph = 108 ft

This is barely faster than the Infiniti Q70 5.6, Kia Stinger GT and Ford Taurus SHO. All can be had for MUCH LESS than $80k. All similarly sized to the GS F btw..

Power is 351kw/477PS. Torque is 530 Nm. Please correct it!

And I don't think this car has a wheelbase over 100 m.

Sad to hear GS-F go. Although Lexus's sports cars had difficulties placing themselves among competitors, they were never bad cars. As Joannes Bays wrote below, Toyota's reliability is also part of Lexus brand.

I used to have a Toyota. A tiny, ugly 2003 Yaris.
I specifically bought it (new) to drive me around the town. And it did. Impeccably for 230 000kms. Never before have I had a car that was mechanically 100% fault free before that.
I am a petrolhead and I love performance cars primarily, but this car hard earned my respect. Just my personal experience with Toyota.

Im more curious as to why you bother anymore?...

What does a modified car have anything to do with Toyota NOT being reliable and sensible?

and where did i say it was modified ? is it because it couldn't beat anything in stock form that you're bothered ? lol it's a toy-yo-duh! what did you expect ferrari f40 performance or bugatti veyron ? lololol

we were talking about reliability where you pull something unnecessary out of your finesse-end to prove that modern turbocharged cars aren't reliable since the emissions got tighter, please give us a break and stop coming up with these big bang theories. if this was the case, then your beloved pos 911 turbo wouldn't last for a month including the panny sausage that comes with pep boys battery for extra juice that vw group enjoys underrating.

if we were to talk about stupid, then you've already bypassed everyone including br2+ that has his ways when he enjoys twisting words and has all the love for all sorts of cars including a nazi tank, if it were street legal.

True.

Cosimo really has a way to redefine the word stupid.

What is with you and diapers? WTF are you talking about? I assume you're talking about the Dodge Viper? calling people names and calling cars other names, these are elementary school behaviors. Seriously, just grow up. And I never liked the Viper. Nor did I ever wanted to buy one, nor do they even sell them in my country.

maybe if you weren't stuck up H***er's ass you'd make some sense sometimes.

I quite like the GSF, Lexu still fk'd up on most there cars designs and should fire the guy responsible, Apart from the huge gril and headlights, Its an attractive car, Could care less how fast it is round a track, If that was the case id go for something else, simple because a car has performance, Doesnt mean supposed to be as fast as a GT3..

Lotus exI get 240r my bad.

Right there with a 2005 exige 240s

finally found it!

this puts it between Ford Mustang Ecoboost 1:15:4 and porsche cayenne gts 1:15:6 it beats an suv by 00.00.1 lololol

I'm sure it did under 1:20 at Hockenheim.

probably the replacement of their failure normally castrated v8 and future boring sport cars

the only reason Toyota doesn't make a truely "competitive car" is because they know making such a car will be unreliable and it's simply not worth losing their top reliability branding to go toe to toe with the Germans. Cuz face it, All German manufacturers have gone down in engine reliability (first time this has happened in like decades) all because of the addition of turbos.

was this dyno queen unreliable too ?

maybe you're butthurt cause your dream kart diaper will be changing lanes soon and the fart noise will be put to mute forever

it's because they have more profitable things to do - building Priuses, Yaris Hybrids etc. :D

that's why they will never be able to develop anything worth mentioning

they beg yamaha engineers to help them work on their cylinder heads, how pathetic is that ?

this is what toyota is good at building for $150 without anyone lending them a hand

Lol, you say the RCF and GSF are slow and no match for the Germans, yet many enthusiasts prefer them over the German turbo machines. The GSF is more composed than your M5 and what not is a better drivers car. The "fat" cumbersome car is the German.

The more a cars performance is stretched out, the more it'll likely fall apart. And Toyota know where their market is - people spend sensibly and don't want gigantic repair bills.

I just brought in my little German car to the dealership, those bill costs... jeez

Don't discount Toyotas ability to make competitive performance engines. Let's not forget LeMans 2016 - Toyota was faster than both Audi AND Porsche.

their v12 is hardly pumping out 340hp

That doesn't necessarily mean its bad engine. For most V12es power is not #1 priority anyways - low rpm smoothness, lack of noise and vibration is.

And I think they only sell V12 cars in Japan and in very limited numbers. They don't have a "halo" V12 for global markets yet, and it's not because they can't make it, it's because they have more profitable things to do - building Priuses, Yaris Hybrids etc. :D

If Toyota developed V8 turbo engine, it would be rival for Audi RS and M5. Maybe. It depends on what Lexus want. If they wanted to compete with M5 & Co they would make something competitive. Like they did with first gen Lexus IS-F which was competitive with BMW M3 E90 4-door.

toyota can't develope brakes that could withstand corolla's 1.8l and 132hp, you expect them to slap turbos on a v8 engine ? their v12 is hardly pumping out 340hp, which is not bad when comparing it to a ferrari v12 carburettor engine from 1950s

This is not an M5/CTS-V competitor. It has F as a logo but it's not much faster than the 550i/Vsport.

But it looks like they will kill the GS model line altogether and spend money on stupid crossovers.
