To be unveiled at the Las Vegas show on Tuesday (1st November) the car is described as the first hybrid with four-wheel steering.
The GS F Sport will be in UK showrooms next year, distinguished by a bolder look including a new front bumper, bespoke mesh grille, metallic and chrome detailing, a rear spoiler and wider rear tyres on the 19-inch alloys.
The suspension is retuned, with an electronic Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) system and revised dampers to reduce body roll. The electronics boast driver-selected ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport S+’ damper settings.
Overall the driver has four drive modes to select, Eco, Normal, Sport S and Sport S+, allowing the choice between best environmental efficiency or best performance.
The headline addition, however is the Lexus Dynamic Handling system, an integrated four-wheel steering system. All aspects of the car’s steering are combined to produce what the car’s creators describe as agile, sharp and confident driving behaviour.
The car is fitted with larger, 356 x 30mm ventilated front disc brakes. Another claimed first is the hat section of the braking system’s two-piece rotor. This is made of aluminium to cut weight and reduce heat deformation.
The interior is not forgotten, with matching door and seat upholstery offered in a new Garnet (deep red) shade exclusive to the car. Aluminium trim elements, 16-way adjustable front seats, a black headliner and pillar finish, dimple perforated leather steering wheel and gear knob covers and aluminium pedals all feature too.
