Fastest Lexus family car gets amazing new cabin
Buyers of the Lexus GS F in Canada can honestly say their cars are unlike any other GS F on the road. That's because Lexus has introduced new cabin trimmings to already superb interior. It comes in the form of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). Does CFRP sound familiar to you? Of course it does! It's what the Lexus LFA is practically made of entirely.
What exactly is Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic?
It's an extremely strong and light plastic reinforced with carbon fibre (you noticed I just changed the order of the words right there?). CFRP is extremely expensive so most manufacturers stay away from it which is why it's more commonly used in aviation than other industries. However, where strength to weight ratio and rigidity are paramount, CFRP is the perennial choice, hence why Lexus decided to go ahead with it.
Other than this stunning interior, Canadian Lexus GS F retains the stock V8 5.0 litre engine that pumps out 471 horsepower and develops 389 lb ft of torque, which gets it from standstill to 60mph in 4.4 seconds.
