Until the birth of the "F" brand, IS-F and, most recently, the LFA, Lexus was thought of as a luxury marque. Now as it continues its push to redefine the company's positioning, Lexus has told us that the all-new GS will be one of the most sporting cars its produced yet.
Driving dynamics are suppose to be VERY important in this product as opposed to the direction its previous products were oriented.
Toyota's special arm, TRD, is furthering this process by showing off the new bits and baubles you can add to your all GS if you so desire. The list of parts I can make out from the photos is as follows:
- Aerodynamics kit (front valence, diffuser, rear spoiler, side skirts)
- Exhaust
- Wheels
- Suspension
- Springs
- Sway bars
Did I nab them all? If so, please feel free to keep the list streaming in the comments...
Aside from that, do these modifications make a significant difference to the GS? And, if the original product was finely tuned with driving dynamics in mind, why would the brand have the urge to develop these add ons? Isn't the GS-F supposed to remedy any longing for a more hardcore product?
