Lexus has revealed the first hybrid car to feature integrated four-wheel steering, meet the new GS F Sport featuring bolder exterior designs, new suspension and braking system, and improved handling.

The GS F Sport features more dynamic and aggressive look with its new
front bumper design with larger side grilles accompanied by the
dedicated mesh design on the upper and lower grilles. While at the rear,
the F Sport is features a new spoiler and a diffuser in grey metallic
finish. The F Sport rides on a set of dark metallic finish 19-inch alloy
wheels wrapped in tires with sizes 235/40/19 at the front and 265/35/19
at the rear.

Inside the F Sport is the complementing door and seat upholstery in a
new Garnet shade. Other amenities include aluminum trim elements,
16-way adjustable F Sport front seats, a black headliner and pillar
finish, dimple perforated leather steering wheel and gear knob covers
and aluminum pedals.

The GS F Sport features front and rear suspension with Adaptive
Variable Suspension (AVS) which allows the driver to fine tune the ride
with a choice of two damper settings: Normal, for everyday driving, and
Sport S+, for greater body control and precise responses to steering
when cornering. AVS reacts to driver inputs, movement of the vehicle
body and road surface conditions, activating the adjustable damping
force of the shock absorbers to automatically adapt suspension
performance at all four wheels independently.

Aside from the damper settings, the new GS also features four drive
modes; Eco, Normal, Sport S and Sport S+ designed to maximize the car’s
environmental efficiency or its dynamic performance.

In Eco mode, engine output, the degree of throttle opening and gear
selection are all automatically modulated to achieve the best fuel
efficiency in all driving conditions. The air conditioning temperature,
airflow volume and activation of the seat heaters are also controlled,
further reducing fuel consumption. In Sport S mode, engine speed and
throttle responses are adjusted to give a more engaging driving
experience. Switching to Sport S+ combines the enhanced powertrain
output of Sport S with co-ordinated control of the GS’s Vehicle Dynamics
Integrated Management system. This includes the AVS and Electric Power
Steering, plus, where fitted, the Lexus Dynamic Handling system,
Variable Gear Ratio Steering and Dynamic Rear Steering, to give a
complete package of sports driving dynamics.

The GS 450h F Sport is equipped with the Lexus Dynamic Handling
system, making it the world’s first hybrid vehicle to feature an
integrated four-wheel steering system. Lexus Dynamic Handling system
will automatically adjust the tuning of the adaptive suspension and the
active safety systems to suit the road conditions, vehicle speed and
driving style.

All GS F Sport models are fitted with larger, 356 x 30mm ventilated
front disc brakes. In a world-first design, the hat section of the
braking system’s two-piece rotor is made of aluminum, which reduces
weight and suppresses heat deformation.
