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.

Toyota is heading for the biggest

Japanese, a nation is determined. Take the folks at Toyota. In early 2011 befell them one of the biggest natural disasters in history, shortly after claiming they soon back on top to stand. Based on sales so far they seem indeed again be the largest automaker.

By a devastating tsunami in March last year some time Toyota had the car stop production as a result, General Motors finally took home the title with the largest automaker in the world. Even the Japanese giant Volkswagen sought over. Shortly after the disaster had Toyota confident of once again the largest production would run at full speed. Based on the figures for the first half year of this year they could be right it will get. The Japanese have so far been almost 5 million cars produced. General Motors follows with 300,000 units less and Volkswagen will not exceed 4.45 million units. The figures also come from the manufacturers themselves, so they are not entirely independent.

9 million
that the struggle between these three again the biggest thing is almost certain. Toyota wants GM will trump the more than 9 million cars must wear. The forecasts of the American group indicate that they number, just like last year, namely fetch. Volkswagen may be the sales battle between the two traditional biggest quite keep up, but will probably finish third again as smiling, before the Germans arrive a little too short. But how long will that take?

Lexus IS F incorporate a twin turbo V6 engine

Lexus IS-F: incorporate a twin-turbo V6 engine. Currently one of the models being developed by the new Lexus IS-F, a sedan Premium will have a good performance to catch up with the German references and try to put the bar high. In fact it is making good progress and there are already different speed tests and try to improve the product that originally could have reached the final form. The news is not that we have pictures of your bearing or something similar but rumor has emerged that could have a powerful turbocharged V6 engine.

There is nothing officially confirmed as Lexus is not running for review of this topic. The truth is that we could consider that silence gives consent and the rumor is slowly gaining strength. If this is true, would break with the tradition of the manufacturers current sedans, so far as using the high-powered V8 engine, achieving a good performance and driving sensations, but always seeing he overcome by the major reference in the segment, by day today are German firms, especially BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

Lexus already announced that for now is focusing only on trying to improve the aerodynamics of the whole as well as its dynamism to launch sports vehicles which were used by the manufacturer, reducing the distance between the ground and the body as well as aggressive lines for a more convicting. 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.

Lexus LS 600h renew is much cheaper

Lexus LS. Also in the top segment is a big price always welcome. Compared to its predecessor, this Lexus LS 600h 8,000 euros cheaper while its standard equipment even further increased.

The Lexus LS is not the most expensive model of the Japanese manufacturer - that honor falls to the LF-A in part - but nevertheless, the luxury limousine is Lexus flagship. To compete with the Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8 is very important to keep up with the latest trends. Lexus chose therefore to the LS of his third face feature since its launch in 2006. Completely new LS is also in the pipeline, but here we have a few years to wait. For now we do it with a new face with properly adjusted light units. And with a new look should always include a new pricing.

For who is a head of state would imagine there is also the President Line that the driver and passengers from € 139.000, - in extreme luxury baths late. No driver? Then the Lexus F Sport Line for € 131.780, - probably a good choice.

2014 Lexus IS Car Automotive

2014 Lexus IS Revealed Car Automotive - Like other designs in the Lexus collection, the 2014 IS has implemented the brand’s trademark style factor, its so-called “spindle grill.” Proven here on the IS350 F-Sport style, the grill is a single-frame, time glass-shaped succeed, continuous by a fender range. Already a popular aspect of the GS and LS cars, it’s now moving down to small sized IS, and looks nearly similar to that discovered on the LF-CC Idea.

POWER:  Toyota scenario you want to mix instantly performed in the end

　　Depending turbocompresseur is twisted Toyota (at least for now) normally not in the new creation of IS set up on the turbocompresseur charger, after all, this is not Toyotas strong points (at least not now), the brilliant Japanese individuals individuals not take their own flaws and Eurpean individuals strong points than, the primary force in the new creation IS will be a multiple program.

　2.5L V6 immediate hypodermic injection motor in the old area of IS will also come back in the new IS, this motor is also predicted is the leading design in the China industry. With great or 3.5L V6 motor, also used in the GS350 performance for all to see, number of miles speeding in less than six a few moments, in a less heavy IS the success certainly can further enhance.

INTERIOR

　　Since it is a new-generation designs, the internal has been absolutely different and quite appropriately. The new creation IS internal planning carries on CT200h, Lexus GS new creation of Lexus designs, such as DNA, such as that covered up the air conditioner release, such as contact it is with a feeling of musician multi-media management program, such as a new leader, and so on

　　But at first look the most amazing indeed dash panel - no speedometer! This dash panel is very simple to let on second believed the Lexus LFA , the individual large tachometer, main tachometer you can show a wide range of details, such as the rate, this is a the popular extremely activities car dash panel design.

TECHNICALITIES

The car will originally be provided in three tastes. The IS 250 gets customers in the entrance, while the IS 350 is the higher-performance design. A multiple in the form of the IS 300h will be provided in European countries, Asia and other choose marketplaces, though it’s hard to think about Lexus will not offer it in the U. s. Declares at some point. After all, Chevy is the master of compounds.

At this time Lexus has not distributed outcome or gas mileage figures for these different designs. Do not bet on big performance improvements, though we can review that the IS350 F-Sport will obtain an 8-speed automated gearbox.

Speaking of figures, the car features a longer wheelbase, which contributes a lot space to both the back chair and footwear. Lexus is declaring best-in-class joint room and easier access to the back seats in the 2014 IS. Furthermore, 60/40 split-folding seat-backs make for an even more huge baggage section.

Putting it in movement, Lexus guarantees the remodeled IS will really be a driving car. The primary professional says characteristics as well as were top main concerns when creating it.

Toyota concept is the FT 86?s little sister

We’ve been clamoring for a date with the production version of the Toyota FT-86 for longer than we care to remember, but we officially have a new infatuation. Meet the boxer coupe’s younger sister – the TES T-Sport Concept. If our Google Translator is to be believed, the car supposedly originated from an inner-company survey that asked what type of cars Toyota engineers would most like to see built. Apparently the overwhelming answer was a fun-to-drive, affordable sports car.

Color us stunned.

From there, the Toyota Engineering Society set about crafting their vision of a low buck machine that could still slather a smile on your face. Power comes courtesy of a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine with around 110 horsepower, and this thing hits the scales at less than 2,000 pounds. That sounds like a winning combination to us. The T-Sport Concept wears some plenty funky styling, but we certainly wouldn’t hold that against a would-be Mazda MX-5 competitor. As with most things awesome that hail from auto shows, there’s little likelihood that the T-Sport will ever see production. Head over to AutoGuide to get a closer look at the two-seater.
