    Rumorpile: The Lexus GS F Rumor That Won't Die

      The Lexus GS F Rumor Comes Back

    It has been almost three years since our last report on the Lexus GS F. At that time, we reported that the model would use a detuned version of the LF-A's V10 engine with 500+ horsepower. Nothing came of that rumor, but a new one has come across our rumorpile desk.

    Autocar has learned from sources that GS F is still incoming and will use a tuned version of the 5.0L V8 found the upcoming RC F Coupe producing somewhere in the range of 500 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. This will be paired up to a eight-speed automatic and Torsen differential. The run to 60 MPH is expected to be in the mid four second range and reach a top speed of 170 MPH. The report goes on to say that orders could begin as early as the forth quarter of next year.

    Like before, we'll believe it when we see it.

    Lexus has the worst performance line of any luxury car maker, well at least for the ones that have a performance line, I guess Lexus is better than Lincoln or Acura.  But they basically have the IS-F and some trim packages that amount to wheels and a spoiler and stiffer suspension on their cars.  Nice performance line. 

     

    Then they want to make a GS-F with 500 hp and 380 lb-ft or whatever it will have.  0-60 of 4.5 seconds, but does Lexus realize that is what the E550 and 550i can do?  Even the Mercedes C400 has been posting 0-60 times of 4.6-4.9 seconds.  The big boys are putting out 500-600 hp and torque, running 0-60 in the 3's now.  The GS-F performance numbers are about 10 years behind, in fact they sound like a 2004 BMW M5.

    I disagree for the most part. Yes the RX 350 F-Sport was a disapointment. But the GS 350 F-Sport was amazing to drive. Do I wish for a little bit more oomph? Sure. But everywhere else from the steering, suspension, and looks was excellent. I just drove a IS 350 F-Sport a few weeks back and was even more impressed with it. Review is coming soon.

      I am saddened. Loved him as an actor.    There was also a crime thriller movie with Wesley Snipes and Sean Connery that he did.  Rising Sun.

      For sure. 100%  I have a personal anecdotal story involving insurances. Although my aunt's and uncle's insurance story from Boston didnt affect me personally, its a story that makes me very indifferent regardless what kind of monster Luigi Mangione could really be. If the story is that the CEO that got murdered was truly a sweet man, then I will have empathy for him. If not...indifference it will be for me.     I have lost a lot of my humanity these last few years I must admit. And you would be correct, indifference is almost always NOT the correct emotion to wield no matter what the circumstances.    Most probably was.  I am curious to know Luigi's motives.  Although I am not too fond of Luigi either. I dont like murderers. But...innocent until proven guilty. And Luigi's Miranda Rights allegedly were not given to him. And...a search warrant was not present when the officers went through his backpack.  I will hate it if Luigi does not stand trial because of incompetency. Justice needs to be served. For the deceased as well for the charged as well for society.  Any murder is creepy, I will agree.  We discussed my indifference so I wont get into that again.  This would be a second time I would be indifferent to horrific public murders in a year's time.  My indifference to both murders does not negate that I also sense and feel the creepiness of it all. Good guy or bad guy, indifference to his murder or not, and we will add Charlie Kirk to this...NOBODY should be murdered.   I agree with your assessments:  indifference is not the right answer and vigilantism is a very dangerous road to follow.  human beings are strange creatures.  Psychology has proven that human beings are more lenient and more favorable towards pleasant physical human attributes than to humans that are less lucky to be blessed with beautiful genetics.   Reality is though... that ALL human beings are capable of murder.   THAT is the scary part.

      Thanks for this link.  Very well written, detailed, chronological enough, and interesting.  This is about how I understand it. The psychological twists and turns are going to be important.  There will be a lot for psychological experts to chew on that we're not (yet) privy to.

      Exactly why you don't necessarily want a vintage car. Modern cars MUCH safer.
