Lexus GS 450h gets F Sport package, standard 18” wheels

September 5, 2014
Lexus has announced several upgrades for its GS 450h sedan, adding an F Sport edition for the 2015 model year.

The sportier package is distinguished by 19-inch staggered-width alloy wheels, taking a more aggressive appearance with a unique front bumper, rear lower valence, front grille inserts and rear lip spoiler.

Drivers can also expect better handling, thanks to a retuned Adaptive Variable Suspension setup. Cornering ability is also assisted by four-wheel steering, while larger front brakes with grabbier pads helps shave off speed during spirited maneuvering.

The interior also features a few upgrades, including a 16-way sport driver seat and perforated leather trim. Extra aluminum components include the pedals, door scuff plates and other accents.

Despite the handling and visual improvements, Lexus has left the hybrid powertrain unchanged from the standard GS 450h. Combined output from an electric motor and 3.5-liter V6 totals 338 horsepower, bringing the sedan up to 60 mph from a standstill in 5.6 seconds.

The company has not yet released any photos of the F Sport package, or pricing and launch details.
