Well its funny to me that all this time we said that Lexus might not be sportiest but people like the ride and on the internetz it was all about "OMG LExus suxks not sportiest, not sporty".....

Fast forward to today and the same people are super silent now that tables have turned and don't give Lexus kudos or refuse to admit it. Then to see people use the same rational to protect BMW "Oh thats what people want, who needs that much sport, people want cushy" is kind of funny.

The bashing of Lexus when they were not sporty went on from all angles and today, its quiet

The GSF prototype was spotted again in Germany. Very low camouflage and it's just in a GS F sport body with an aero packag and quad exhaust.
Glad to see this still around.

Hmm... I think these are old pics. Plus the article is full of misinformation. Take a look at the source article: http://blendcars.com/2015-lexus-gs-f-facelift-and-price

well since we dont have any official confirmation from Lexus, the link that you posted about it being a facelift could be wrong. ill just wait for a press release from Lexus.

It is but it's also the same kit the GS-F prototype was wearing a few months ago.



What needs to happen: Lexus GS facelift shown at 2015 NAIS in January, car features full spindle grill with two stage headlights and revised taillights. Along side it or at an autoshow a few months later, the new GS-F debuts, with even more outlandish styling.

I hope you're correct. Highly tweaked 8 speed auto that can shift as fast as Z06 8 speed would be awesome.

Here you go, 95% chance that 95% of all these components are the same.

So if it shares the 450 hp 5.0 with the lesser RC-F will this GS-F be competing with the CTS V-Sport, 550i M-Sport, XF Supercharged and Audi S6?
