Lexus to reveal new ‘F’ car at Detroit Motor Show

New Lexus F car
The new Lexus GS F?

Lexus has announced it is to add another new vehicle to its growing stable of high performance models. The new F-designated car will be premiered at the Detroit motor show on 13 January, which is fitting since the recently launched RC F high performance coupe was first revealed at the 2014 Detroit motor show.

Details from the Lexus camp have been scarce – releasing only a couple of teaser images of the new model – however there has been much speculation about the new model being the GS F.

From the pictures we can see the car has a very similar front end to the RC F – dominated by the oversized grille – and its huge breaks suggest that the new car will pack a punch and could well be a 5 door super sports saloon version of the RC F.
The intakes seem to be larger than those on the RC F and a new headlight design adorns the front bumper – complemented by daytime LED running lights.

Is this Lexus’ answer to the likes of BMW’s M5 and Audi’s RS6?
If so, this car would more than likely be powered by the same 500bhp 5.0-litre V8 first seen in the RC F coupe – and it is likely that there will be a huge amount of interest in a super sports saloon from the Lexus camp. Rivals should be worried!
