Sweet ride man! Congrats on getting the mean one! Not too many 460Fsports have showed up at my dealership. I've only seen a handful of them, of course I took one out for a ride the second they came off the truck lol. I really REALLY like the f sport 460. It's edgier and more mechanical feeling on the road, better handling, it looks downright menacing looking coming up behind you on a dark country road especially in black, and that exhaust note it makes when hammered is absolutely glorious sounding! Enjoy your new ride hope to be able to get one someday!

Yeah if I got a 460 f sport I don't think it would leave the garage very often. I'd be paranoid as hell about it. No eating smoking drinking in it. Hell I'd make people take there shoes off before getting in it, like I did with my 95 Ls400 when I first got it lol. I'd be washing and waxing it every other day.

The car is being tagged all over instagram so my idea of a full reveal with parts is down the drain...so I gave my bud at Southrnfresh an exclusive photoshoot....its not even on Vossen's site yet. 22x9 and 22x10.5 CVT with Pirelli P Zero Tires

Good question. To me the GS new platform is already very sporty even in base trim. The F-sport to me does take it up a notch and the big plus it the optimal rear steering. To me that really makes a difference. To me the change from normal to sport is less obvious than in the LS, which also adds a comfort mode. To me the LS in sport + is a much different car than when it is comfort or normal.

The GS steering is WAAAAY tighter than the LS. The LS steering reminds me of a traditional Lexus whereas the GS feels like a different type of Lexus without even going in Sport+ mode.

The GS F-sport has upgraded brakes as well, not brembo but they are 2 piece. The LS Brembo's on the F-sport are even more impressive. They are my first set of Brembo brakes and I'm sold.

The LS F-sport has a LSD, the GS F-sport does not. Honestly so far I cannot tell the LSD is there.

I wish the LS offered the Cabernet interior in the GS. The GS F-sport also has HUD, the LS does not. I find the GS F-sport seats better as well, the LS F-sport while offering more support isn't as good as the GS.

I do love the factory air suspension on the LS and I can change the height with the module. In all honesty this seems PEFECT for the wife, she can drive high and I can drive low. Her GS F-sport is modified on RSR Springs (soon to be coilovers) and I wish it was lower but she loves the height. The LS Air Suspension makes this a non-arguement.

The GS is well built, a great step up from the last generation. This is the first LS I have owned I and everyone is simply blown away by it. The build quality of the LS is second to none, it is truly very impressive.

The LS offers much more space inside and with the trunk, even in SWB trim. The GS is smaller and I am very happy to have went with the LS. We never had an issue with room in the GS but when we go out with people in the LS they always comment on how roomy it is in the rear. The LS aluminum trim and GS trim are different, I love the GS trim but it actually does ding. The LS trim just seems amazing.

Overall if you can swing it, I would go with the LS F-sport. I am in love with the car, it has exceeded all my expectations except the expected crappy MPG

Thanks. I wasn't expecting to like the CVT this much on the car, nor 22s...
