Nuff said lol. I can't wait to drive one. The RC-F was a hoot to drive and the GS-F sounds like it's even better.

I just need to find the quickest route to $87k...

it is an absolutely amazing car. i just got back from driving one, and really didn't know how to put into words on how i feel about it. like, grinning from ear to ear about it. remember how the IS-F felt and how different the RC-F feels? the GS-F feels like a bigger meaner faster IS-F. it has absolutely delicious handling with LOTS of driver mechanical feedback and a roar that stirs the soul. ill do a full write up on it later. but like i said, it was so awesome i was just kind of sitting here at a blank screen in shell shock.

I love lexus, I think they build some great cars. But if you are buying a performance sedan and you're not gonna buy the gs-f if you can get this.

I believe it does away with the adaptive suspension of the F-Sport

Supposedly the F suspension is dialed in to the point it renders an adaptive suspension pointless. On the RC F S+ shows steering, transmission and brakes, most likely what the GS F is too:



On the IS, GS and LS it looks like this with adaptive suspension

Yea I thought the GSF doesn't have the AVS motors on the shocks anymore, it looks more like coilovers. My FSport has the AVS motors.
