Default Does the F Sport include rear steering ?

In the Build your GS section of the Lexus website, it lists "Lexus Dynamic Handling system including Dynamic Rear Steering (required on the GSh)" as one of the features of the F Sport package for a RWD vehicle.

I am guessing this is incorrect, and to add DRS, it would cost an extra $1700.

Can anyone clarify this.

Thanks

Still an option though some regions will get it because it's 'built' for that region. And yes standard on the GSh F-Sport now

Thanks

So, still an option means $1700 on top of the F Sport package ?

By certain "regions" do you mean it might not be available to dealers around my home in Chicago, therefore will have to buy it from a dealer in the sunbelt ?

Pretty much all GS350s in Chicago area are AWD. If you want rear wheel steering you have to special order a RWD version or have your dealer transfer the car from another dealership. It took my dealer 30 days to get me my GS but I got the color combo I wanted.

Correct, Sun Belt, East, West etc.. your dealer may do dealer trades though or can divert an allotted one from a different dealer with the right contacts

Not sure why you would need/want it? The thing has a killer turning radius already. Just one more thing to break anyway.

Yes, the car is already nimble, but it DOES make a difference.

I might be wrong but I thought I read somewhere that it doesn't help steer until you reach a higher speed near freeway speed or something like that

Oh man that is spectacular. I had no idea Lexus is implementing this kind of technology. This is truly exciting. I dont want big fancy wheels or a body kit but , this is what im talking about. I would pay good money to add this option to the vehicle, up to 5K im ok with. I mean the GS already takes corners with confidence i can just imagine what yo u can do with this system. If the DHS is included in the GS F, i will get the car for sure. That big engine and Handling System will eat up corners like Porsches. Im officially amazed.
