The Lexus GS F is the ultimate mid-size sports sedan
It unites raw N/A performance with a composed chassis and solud reliability
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 unites this class of modern-era fast family sedans.
However, when it comes time to own one, not all are cut from the same cloth. If you want reliability and low ownership costs, it’s the Lexus that stands out.
Its formidable & robust ‘2UR’ 5.0-litre V8 engine cranks out over 350 kilowatts and 530 Newton metres. An eight-speed torque converter auto delivers crisp shifts and bulletproof reliability too.
Given Lexus delivered fewer than 300 GS Fs in Australia over a six-year production window, it makes it an extremely rare car.
It’s one of those rare vehicles that stirs both your emotional and your rational side at once.
The car pictured – 2015 Lexus GS F
This Lexus GS F was built in November 2015 and was optioned in Ultrasonic Blue with a black leather interior. Factory options include a heads-up display, orange brake calipers, 19-inch machined & grey finish alloys and black carbon twill inlays.
It’s powered by the legendary ‘2UR’ 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine that produces 351 kilowatts and 530 Nm torque. Power is put through an eight-speed automatic and sent exclusively to the back wheels via a torque-vectoring limited-slip differential.
We purchased this example from a Japanese car dealership. The vehicle presents in excellent condition inside and out, and there are service stickers on the vehicle confirming routine maintenance. The vehicle’s exterior is wholly original and the car not been repaired or repainted before. The interior presents in above average condition and the car has never been modified.
It was noted a one-owner vehicle. Standard features include black leather sports seats with heating and cooling, adaptive cruise control, keyless entry + start, a heated steering wheel, automatic high beams with full LED headlights, a TVD rear differential, and more. Apple Carplay & Android Auto connectivity is available for an extra cost.
The vehicle will undergo a comprehensive service before sale.
