F Sport has different brakes, air suspension with additional Sport+ setting, interior trim and few other bells and whistles.

Thanx. Is there much difference in the ride? Harsher with the F Sport?

I think most owners have stated its a little harsher, but I would try to take a test drive and see the difference for yourself. Many people will have different opinion on what they view as harsh or not but your view will be different from others.

If your goal is a sportier and harder ride with more engine noise, the F Sport is for you. If you want that more subdued drive get the regular LS500.

I like the blacked out trim on the F Sport, but do not want the air suspension. It’s very costly to repair on older cars and we intend to keep our 2020 LS a long time.
I think using the name ‘Sport’ on such a luxury car is a little ridiculous, wish Lexus would drop it and just make an optional package without plastering sport badges on the LS.
