SPIED: Lexus' Next-Gen GS Seen Lapping The 'Ring?

Since we've just heard news that Lexus may be unleashing the next-generation Lexus GS at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance this year, we thought it'd be wise to bring you up-to-date on the latest spy images surrounding the car.

Seen lapping, arguably, the world's most famous track, the Nurburgring, was a car looking awfully familiar to the LF-Gh concept. Although it bears some camouflage and light cladding, it appears pretty similar to what we saw at the 2011 New York Auto Show.

Take, for example, the free-form C-Pillar.

We'll keep you in the loop regarding more photographs and teases of what's to come at Pebble Beach this August.


These are the latest spy pictures of Lexus’s new GS in testing at the Nurburgring.

The pictures reveal the influence of the Lexus LF-Gh concept car from the recent New York motor show in the production car, which is due to reach UK showrooms in the autumn.

The new Lexus GS is based around Lexus’s L-Finesse design philosophy, a styling language first previewed on 2003’s LF-S concept...

Looks like a lot of body roll even for a sport sedan.

How can you tell it have a lot of body roll when you only seen the picture and Not a video of this car hitting the famous German track? I am pretty sure the new Lexus GS will be more fun and sportier to drive.

Hopefully the car doesn't accelerate itself as it goes around the ring

Didn't the 2012 Porsche 991/911 prototype catch on fire and burst into flames last week while they're testing it? Lol........!

Looks longer and wider, in fact it looks as long as current LS. Good to see Lexus testing it against BMW 5 Series.

@ Lexus: Well, any test car could catch fire while being tested, 'cause that's actually what they're doing:TESTING.
And I really hope Lexus does a good job with this one, for they need to profit to compensate the losses caused by the earthquake/tsunami.

And to compensate for the desperate advertising to move their boring cars and all the lawsuits theyre probably quietly paying off.

The natural disasters over there did one thing good; helped keep more toyotas from hitting the roads.

LOL @ sport sedan. Those two words do not belong in the same sentence when talking about any toyota sedan. A Lacrosse is closer to being a sport sedan than a gs.
