Lexus Prepping 373kW GS F: Report

Talk of a BMW M5-rivalling version of the Lexus GS refuses to die, and this week UK mag Autocar has added yet another rumour to the already substantial pile.

According to anonymous sources, Lexus is in the final stages of developing a high-performance GS F model, which will use an uprated version of the RC F's 5.0 litre V8 and push out around 373kW of power.

That's a 22kW increase over the RC F's already substantial 351kW output, and it will be achieved without turbochargers or a hybrid assist system.

Much of the RC F's mechanical underpinnings will also be transplanted, with the same 8-speed automatic and double-wishbone/multi-link suspension expected to be used in the GS F. A torsen differential will help contain wheelspin.
