"Dial in just enough throttle as you drain away steering from a corner, and the GS F leaves beautiful oversteer drifts in its wake." Nate Martinez gets behind the wheels of the Lexus GS F at the California Speedway in Fontana, California and came out blown away.
Lexus launched the Lexus GS F back in October 2015 but actual hands-on reviews were pretty hard to come by. But now, Motor Trend gives you a taste of what it's like to tame the M5-beating, 467-bhp breathing beast.
Read the full review here:
From purely statistical comparisons to the BMW M5, Mercedes E63 AMG or Audi RS7, the Lexus GS F is admittedly a bit portly, weighing 2,000 kg on the dot. In actual fact, the heft is cancelled out by allowing the driver to indulge in a bit of hooliganism via the car's power and poise in corners.
"Fortunately," Nate explains, "the cliche 'it feels smaller than it is' monumentally applies to the bigger GS F. Frankly, its 4,104 pounds are masked about as gracefully as two tons ever have been."
The Lexus GS F earned glowing praises with the way it synthesised performance and comfort. "Besides all this impressiveness - and the GS F is undoubtedly more precise and communicative than any other F vehicle to date - is how seamlessly the GS F holds comfort into its equation. On the first drive in civilian traffic, I was half-befuddled at how a performance car - the baddest, strongest priciest performance model in the brand's deep lineup - sounded so docile, so unassuming, so... mild. Its ride felt simultaneously taut yet cushy. If I had closed my eyes, I would have believed I was in a GS 350; their smoothness and quietness are just about identical."
What a lucky guy! I hope to have the opportunity to give one of these the beans. In the meantime, read Nate's review of the Lexus GS F here.

Cheers!
