I can truly see the GSF being the top super saloon when it's released.
Quick round up (and please correct me if I'm wrong):
The M5: 4,600 lbs, 580 hp, 500 lb-ft torque
The E63: 4,084 lbs, 518 hp, 465 lb-ft torque
The GSF: 3,600 lbs?, 480 hp?, 400 lb-ft torque?
Let's just say the GSF gets the same power increases from the GS460, that the ISF got from the IS350 (36% increase in hp, and 34% increase in torque).
That means the GSF would hopefully get:
465 Hp and 454 lb-ft torque.
That much power and torque on a 3,600 lb car? yeah, the GSF is gonna rape.

I have to admit, 4000lbs of my GS350 AWD is hard to control on tiny mountain roads.

Highly doubt the GS is going to come in at 3600lbs. either way, Lexus NEEDS to crack the 500hp mark.
Where did the info come from that the M5 is going to weigh 4600lbs? Highly unlikely, that's LS/7 weight territory...

Can we leave a GS F which isn't confirmed out of this. Thanks.
M1 the 550 is already around 4400lbs. Its based off the heavier 7 series now, so weight if off the charts as if size.
I was just telling CDN how a manual (we don't get it here) Panamera S is 3900 lbs or so. A Turbo S is around 4500 lbs. Huge difference in weight (and power).

550i is around 4420lbs in base spec.... so probably over 4600 if weighted with full spec...

Sad thing is most people would care about 520hp more :-)
