It looks like Lexus seemed to have used the same methodology to number all the GS Fs, regardless of which market any particular model was intended for.
It's good news that we now have confirmation that cars earlier than the 0200 ending digits do exist.
Based on my findings, drivers.lexus.com provided database for U.S. and Canadian spec. cars, but not cars from the other part of the globe.

Here are a few 2020's I found easily.
These numbers don't include the number of totaled or cars that haven't been sold. There's probably some that have been sold but have never been registered.
My 2016 vin ends in 1654 which suggests higher numbers?
Hi guys - I have recently reached out to Lexus Customer Service (September 2020), and here is a the final production number count on the GS-F I got from them. TOTAL 2484 made for the US MARKET. (I asked specifically for the US market)
"We have conducted research on your behalf and have provided the production numbers for the GSF below :
Production has ended for the 2020 model year, being the final production model year of the GS-F for the North American market.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. We are glad to help at any time.
Sincerely,

So I want to follow up on this - I am taking on this pet project - VIN by VIN to get an exact breakdown. I'm still another month or two away, but my findings are similar with what Lexus told me. Further, I have found a few VINS that exist lower than 200, being: JTHBP1BL8GA000106 (SCRAPPED), JTHBP1BL0GA000116 (SCRAPPED), JTHBP1BL8GA000137 - still kicking in Texas with 5 owners, 2 accidents JTHBP1BLXGA000141 - Ultra white in OK JTHBP1BL1GA000142 - Caviar in TX JTHBP1BL5GA000144 - Atomic Silver in FL JTHBP1BL9GA000146 - USB Mica in FL JTHBP1BL0GA000147 - Caviar in MN JTHBP1BL2GA000148 - USB Mica in FL JTHBP1BL4GA000149 - Ultra white in Florida with 25 miles and 1 owner (someone's collecting!) JTHBP1BL2GA000151 - Liquid Platinum in TX
....and several more under #200
I am interested in your data so far, I wonder beside the special color such as Flare Yellow, Molten Pearl, Matte Nebular Gray. I want to see what normal color rarity.

@NickL What did you trade your 2020 in for? The LC500 right?
I’ve been thinking about it. I just couldn’t come to term with parting the GSF and I’m not sure how I would live with a coupe.
GSF was bought with love. If I get the LC500, it would be just for trophy.

Tellin ya man, it is such a great car where I honestly do no think any other car would replace the GSF for me personally IMO. E63s and the M5 especially the newest gen (F90) are absolute rockets that I love, but the GSF really has such a unique character that you come to love as an owner. Lastly, what I love most about the GSF is the fact that as an owner you will rarely find another one on the road, at your local cars and coffee, and that uniqueness+ the fact no one ever knows what a GS F is adds a huge cool factor to the car. German competitors will always be faster, handle better, more innovative, and have more mod support... would never tell someone not to get them... just feel the GSF offers a unique driver experience similar to the old school E39 M5

lol. Yes. Thank you. The LC500 has been on my mind for a very long time. And when USB was finally available in the ‘24 model, I’ve been looking at it almost every day. The final straw was that the local dealer actually brought in an USB on black Bespoke build. I was in and out of the dealership in less than 3hrs with the keys to the LC500. I didn’t bother with the test drive. I drove it home!
I’ll tell ya though, the GSF will be missed and it definitely can hold its own aesthetically and performance.
