It holds a stature that creates a bold presence in the industry. The GSF possesses a muscular build, sleek and aggressive lines, and advanced Lexus engineering and technology that pushes it forward into it's own category.
I'm a fan of this car.

Lexus wanted to make the GS F a high-performance sedan that not only offers impressive capabilities, but a sense of fun from behind the wheel. According to five-time 24 Hours of Daytona overall winner Scott Pruett, the company succeeded.

@CYKBC, true he may be on the payroll; however, most car manufacturers will contract a driver to beat the car to the pavement multiple times and test the car pushing it to it's limits during the production phase to work out the bugs before a final video like this is released. The driver will give positive and negative feedback to their engineers so they can take that data and go back to make revisions, so Scott Pruett's comments might actually be on point for the most part.
If I were a test driver for a car manufacturer, I'd be super critical during the design and production phase until they got it right. Then by the time it hits the media, the car should be at a level that is good enough for the driver to offer his positive feedback without having to be persuaded dollar signs.
Ayrton Senna was one of the most iconic drivers that test drove the Honda NSX when it was first released. He ripped into the engineers and designers during production and pre-production and basically criticized everything he felt was wrong with the car until they got it right. Then during the media release day when the cameras were on, all he had to do was drive fast and give his approval.
Here's a short yet well composed recap written by Road & Track on how the development of the highly anticipated NSX went down before they did their media release. - http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cult...x-exceptional/.
Here's a cool little video clip just for your enjoyment... love the loafer wearing heel-toe action.
