2016 Lexus GS-F

The Detroit Auto Show is right around the corner, and Lexus is already showing that it has big plans for the upcoming event. The Japanese auto maker has given us our first look at the 2016 Lexus GS-F.

While we don’t think it packs quite enough punch to be called an “M5 Killer,” it’s certainly an impressive four-door. The vehicle is equipped with a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 delivering 467-horsepower and 389 lb-ft of torque through the butter smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. The GS-F tips the scales at 4,034 pounds, so the power to weight ratio should make for some pretty good 0-60 mph times once this thing hits the tarmac. It’s also sporting the brand’s Torque Vectoring Differential with three different driving modes including Standard, Slalom and Track – the names are pretty self explanatory. Pricing information has yet to be announced, but expect plenty more details to surface when the auto show kicks off next week.
