Also making its world premiere is a new concept car which expresses Lexus' future vision of progressive luxury. Complete details will be made available in a press release on October 28.
GS F (Japanese debut)
A high-performance sports sedan that emphasizes sound, dynamic response and acceleration.
Main features:
- The 5.0-liter V8 engine equipped with D-4S (Direct Injection 4-stroke Gasoline Engine Superior Version) produces the linear power and superior response characteristics of a normally aspirated engine, while achieving high output. In addition, running the engine on the Atkinson cycle at cruising range improves fuel efficiency and environmental performance. The 8-speed Sport Direct Shift transmission allows the driver to experience acceleration directly, plus the specially designed suspension system and other features enable the driver to enjoy both full-scale sport driving and a comfortable ride on ordinary roads. - The individuality of the F series is reinforced by an exterior that appeals to motorsports fans through a low center of gravity, a large spindle grill and large air ducts. The interior focuses on function, with special seats that achieve superior body hold through integral skin foam molding.
GS (Japanese debut)
A mid-size luxury sedan that combines an imposing, aggressive design with class-leading driving performance.
Main features:
- The sporty low center of gravity and three-dimensional shape of the spindle grille emphasize the individuality of the GS. - LED lighting is used throughout, while the high-performance three-bulb LED headlamps come with an optional Adaptive High-beam System (AHS). The design of the front bumper, rocker moldings, rear combination lamps and other parts have also been updated to express the powerful presence of the GS. - The 3.5-liter V6 engine has been improved from the cylinder block up, and combines the Atkinson-cycle engine with a new-generation D-4S system to achieve excellent fuel efficiency performance. - The use of a decorative metal finish and satin metal trim, together with other new features such as a laser-cut real wood grain ornament panel, achieve an integrated interior that is both luxurious and modern. - Enhanced body rigidity and optimally-tuned suspension achieve a smooth and gentle ride, while enhanced rigidity of steering components ensures superior dynamic response.
RX
An all-new premium crossover developed on the proposition of keeping the best of the original RX, yet achieving more.
Main features:
- An exterior with the strength of a sport utility vehicle combined with a strong, mature appeal, and an elegant interior featuring a host of new technologies. - Improved body structure and suspension achieve both a comfortable ride and the response needed to faithfully meet the demands of the driver. - The fuel efficient, low CO2 emission hybrid and the intercooler-equipped 2.0-liter direct-injection four-cylinder turbo DOHC engine powertrains achieve both a pleasurable drive and strong environmental performance.
