Rumormill Yet Again Lexus GS F is coming

This certainly isn’t the first time we’ve heard rumblings about Lexus working on a performance version of itsGS sedan. The crew at Road & Track reports that the upcoming GS-F will serve as the range-topping trim in the GS model range, set apart from its siblings with not only a more aggressive appearance, but a serious increase in power, to boot.

Sources within Toyota have told the buff book that the GS-F will be powered by a 5.0-liter V8, just like the smaller IS-F, but that output will be increased to 465 horsepower for the larger sedan. The other key ingredient to making the GS-F a serious performer is a substantial reduction in weight. Through the use of aluminum and carbon fiber components, Toyota aims to have the GS-F weigh in at about 3,700 pounds, meaning it should be capable of ripping off 4.5-second 0-60 times.

Toyota is positioning the GS-F to compete with the likes of the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, with prices to start somewhere around the $90,000 to $100,000 range. No official timeframe has been given on when we’ll actually see the GS-F, but R&T states that it could show up as early as 2012, after therefreshed GS range debuts.

The truth is that the current Lexus IS-F with the corresponding set-up that has been, has achieved a good result but the manufacturer intends to continue with the good line of progress.

The advantages of a motor biturbo
If finally confirmed that the next generation of the IS-F will feature a twin-turbo V6 engine, would be a significant improvement over the current V8 using the model we have available today. Its power would reach 450 hp and get a maximum torque of 610 Nm up. This means that it would literally up to the BMW M3 is also currently under development.

But the thing stays here? Well, no because with a biturbo engine can go even further.
Depending on the situation in which the vehicle rests, the engine responds in one way or another. The twin turbo system consists of two turbochargers of different sizes. When driving at low speed running is only the smallest and at the time that they increase the speed, the pressure of the larger turbo starts and ensures an immediate response and performance.

It doubted that the new Lexus IS-F would have good numbers by making their performance but finally officially confirmed the biturbo V6 engine resource; we are talking about an important change in the mechanics of the model progression.
