Default Next Gen GS F

Last I read (Oct 2017) the next GS F was being developed with a TTV8 (600 x 500’ish). Did that get scrubbed? Getting into year 4 of the first gen. New ES looks hot but no “F” variant. Just wondering.

i'm curious of the same. haven't heard of any releases since the GS got the axe in Europe. Hope they don't end the GSF here.

There is an F-Sport version of the new ES. But, you want a real "F" variant of an ES, a FWD car The ES was and still is a barge

If you love a product so much.. it's natural to want a newer version. But I have to admit, coming from an E60 M5... I've never cozied up to the F10 or even the F90 models.

If i had the chance of still get an E60. Something about that raw naturally breathing engine gets me every time

What I want is the GSF but with the new ES getting a makeover that looks sporty like current GS, what is the future of the GSF? Just checking the GSF forum to see if anything new was known.

I read in Car & Driver the upcoming LC F will have a twin turbo, 600hp V8. I'd assume the GS F would get a variant of that as well.

I'm still curious to see production numbers for 2017 & 2018. I imagine they are some fraction of the 2016 sales which were only around 1,400. At the same time sales seem slow, Weathertech is now the primary sponsor of the Laguna Seca and the GS F is the pace car and support vehicle for the track. The RC F just won the IMSA race at Mid-Ohio on Sunday. This car should be selling better....but I think it needs better marketing.

Back in early April my dealer said no more 18s were being delivered (this is after I had purchased mine). They don't seem to be moving, but the dealers also don't seem to be ready to cut great deals based on my shopping experience.

Thx Diesel. The current GEN GSF survives thru 2019 adding the yellow. Next GEN GSF maybe in 2020? We shall see.
