A truly representative of the exhilarating cruising style of Lexus’ next generation of cars, the GS "F Sport" inherits the driving traits of the F series, of which the LFA is the pinnacle, and is a full-fledged sports version-with version-specific interior and exterior designs-of the next-generation GS.
LDH, which controls Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS), Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS) and other elements to realize the ideal vehicle slip angle, delivers an outstanding sense of security in the high speed range, edge and agility in the medium range and good manoeuvrability in the low speed range.
The exterior is fitted with specially designed features including the front grille, front bumper and rear spoiler, while the interior features model-specific seats, a leather steering wheel and shift knob, and an aluminum ornament panel.
LFA Nürburgring Package
The LFA Nürburgring Package is a model that emphasizes circuit cruising at a level higher than the standard specifications. Named to convey respect and

The vehicle features a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic front spoiler and fixed rear wing to further enhance aerodynamic performance, and comes with a suspension designed for circuit racing and custom wheels for improved maneuverability and stability.
The maximum output has been raised to 420 kW (571 PS) over the base LFA's 412 kW (560 PS) through improvements such as higher compression.
