Lexus GS350 F Sport
What it will not do,
however, is swaying fans looking for a lead performance or very involving
dynamics.

More powerful, faster
Although
this is largely the same as GS 350 Lexus launched in 2011, semiannual regular
enhancements to the brand. For 2016, GS350 3.5-liter V-6 rated at 311
horsepower (gain 5) and 280 lb-ft of torque (on 3). Rear-drive models, like our
test car, the torque through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
All-wheel-drive versions get a six-speed automatic.
In track uneventfully GS
slipped to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds - 0.3 second slower than the last version we
tested, the 2013 models. It is also a full 1.2 seconds slower than the 2016
Audi A6, which enjoy the benefits of more power and all-wheel-drive traction
launch.
A quarter-mile fell in
14.3 seconds at 101 mph, at which point the GS is a full mph second and fourth
behind the A6. It also fell two-tenths and 1 mph From 2013 GS350, may be a
consequence of this example is relatively green machine, which is only 600
miles on the clock.
Braking is a strong suit
for the GS. F sport package adds 19-inch wheels wearing staggered (wider at the
rear than at the front) Bridgestone summer tires, 14.0-inch-diameter two-piece
front rotors and four-piston brake calipers. This is a solid package of
hardware that is presented consistent pedal feel and sedan stopped 159 feet
from 70 mph.
In and Out
Unlike the wackadoodle
visual statements made by its spindle grille, the blue paint of our tester
managed to look elegant and stunning in a light, day or night. Lexus exterior
finish this job, the panel a perfect fit, as well as any car in the segment.
Inside there are fewer
compliments. Overall the quality of the ingredients just mediocre by the
standards of the segment. Skin does not have the elasticity offered by the
German brand, especially on the head - and armrests. 16-way adjustable driver's
seat, also part of the package F sport, is a gem for any body shape, though,
and there was room to spare. Even six-footers fit comfortably in the back seat.
We have yet to come to
terms with the Lexus Remote Touch interface, which uses a mouse-type controller
with haptic technology access navigation and other infotainment functions. Audi
MMI iDrive, COMAND Mercedes-Benz and BMW are all the more effective for
controlling the system.
Shortage of small-item
storage is easily accessible in the center console makes keeping handy
smartphone is more difficult than it should be 2016. The door pockets and
center console bin, which offers a sliding and tilting lid, modestly sized.
Tachometer is located in the center of the instrument cluster is an indication
that sport sedan Lexus has at least one priority right.
As tested, GS we rang up
a price tag of $ 61.690, which included $ 4,115 upcharge F sports and several
other options. If you are expecting is the ability to transport the family or
clients in a complaint-free convenience, it is a reasonable cost. For the same
expenditure, however, a luxury sport sedan offerings from Europe or America
will do more to stoke the inner fire you when a good path inviting.
