Lexus GS-F FAQs

• How fast is the Lexus GS-F?

  The GS-F is both one of the most-powerful and fastest cars that Lexus has ever made, with this four-door saloon bursting at the seams with power. It features a thunderous 5.0-litre V6 engine that can produce 351kW of power at 7100rpm, and 530Nm of torque at 4800rpm. What does that translate into when you put your foot down? Well, the proof is in the pudding as they say, and the GS-F has a top speed of 270km/h, and can go from 0-100km/h in just 4.6 seconds.

• Why did Lexus discontinue the GS-F?

  Model year 2020 was the last time Australia was fortunate enough to receive a new iteration of the awe-inspiring Lexus GS-F. This rear-wheel-drive performance sedan has no successor, and in some ways that reflects the reason why this model was discontinued. Quite simply, sedans are no longer in demand as they once were. What's more, there is an even smaller niche for RWD performance sedans. That made it hard for Lexus to grow sales against more dominant peers like BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz, and drew curtains on the GS-F.

• What does GS mean for Lexus?

  The GS tag is one that Lexus embraced for its series of upmarket sedans, including top-tier performers like the GS-F, as well as other high-spec models as well. As for what it means, the GS badge stands for “Grand Sedan”. This series is not quite as big as the full-size LS series - which stands for Luxury Sedan - but you will still be left impressed by the sheer amount of space inside the cabin of the Grand Sedan series.
