Lexus GS F Spied Training to Take on BMW M5
Now that the Lexus RC F is heading to dealerships, the Japanese automaker is working on a high-performance version of its GS luxury sedan.
The stylish RC F coupe was built to compete against the BMW M4 and the next addition to the Japanese automaker’s F lineup will be the GS F sedan, which will target the BMW M5 and Mercedes-AMG E63. The GS F takes styling cues from the RC F with a more pronounced front end, sportier wheels and larger brakes.

In the rear, expect a quad-tip exhaust setup and a subtle lip spoiler on the trunk while power will likely come from the same powerplant as the RC F, a 5.0-liter V8 with around 500 to 550 hp.
