The perfect recipe for mid-size sports sedan starts with:
A naturally-aspirated V8, a lengthy wheelbase and locking rear diff.
When it comes to the best mid-sized performance sedans, the naturally aspirated V8 remains king. Whether it’s a BMW E39 M5, a Mercedes-Benz W201 C63 or a Lexus GS F, it’s the meaty eight-cylinder engine that links this class of modern-era fast family sedans.
The Lexus GS F brought power outputs of Toyota’s formidable ‘2UR’ 5.0-litre V8 engine to over 350 kilowatts and 530 Newton metres. Where modern sedans have gotten massive, heavy and slow, the Lexus GS F represents a modern take on an age-old formula.
This example features a few nice upgrades including a whole host of carbon TOM’S parts inside and out, a TOM’S exhaust system, and plenty more goodies.
Mix in some bulletproof Toyota reliability, and the GS F will stroke both your emotional and your rational side.
