Default VIDEO: 2013 GS F SPORT - Acceleration & Sound

Here's some video I captured of the new GS 350 F SPORT in Sport mode. Sport+ wasn't necessary as I only needed to capture the quick up and downshifts, the throttle blipping, and of course the sound! Notice the 3 flash turn signal action and the heads up display which displays more than just the speed and radio station channels...it finally has a tach!

Please excuse the focus, I forgot to change out to my wide angle lens.

Hi Flipside909, thanks for your photos and videos.

Just a question. I've been reading about how good the 6-speed auto in the GT86 is and apparently it's a modified version of the 8-speed auto of the IS-F. Current reviews have also favorably rated the 6-speed in the 4GS.

Is the 6-speed automatic of the 4GS and GT86 the same? It would be great if the 4GS transmission was a modified version of the ISF's.

Aisin is the supplier for the Toyota transmissions.

The 6spd Auto in the New GS 350 is the A760E (RWD) and A760H (AWD)...they are revised versions found in the previous 3rd Gen GS. The 8spd Auto in the IS F is a retuned AA80E used in the GS 460 and LS 460.

As for the Auto in the new 86/FR-S/BRZ i believe the transmissions are all new or evolutions of existing 6spd autos. Aisin makes several different 6 speed autos for Toyota/Lexus and different manufacturers. As for it being the same with the new GS, it's probably not likely.

As for the throttle blipping on downshift, the new GS 350 does that well...and surprisingly the new 2012 Camry SE.

Thanks. That was very informative! After all these reviews, I am DYING to get my hands on a GS350 and see how it drives, especially how the new autotrans downshifts.

Thanks for the video, Flip. Sounds pretty good! impressive! However, gear changes look a little sluggish no?

No they're pretty quick. Faster than any other Lexus outside of LFA and ISF/LS Sport.

How does it compare to the GT-86/Scion FR-S autotransmission?
