Big, is old-school V8 petrol engine is a joy and GS F corners a big car
the GS-F is very fast well for so managing 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds. It is quick in a straight line, though - Lexus has revised the structure of the standard GS on which the GS F is based, as it leads in the corners to improve, and the results are impressive. However, its old-fashioned automatic slow to change down when you speed up, for example when overtaking. A new rear axle is the most significant change, so the car to achieve by varying the amount of energy to the two driven rear wheels sent maximum grip throughout a corner.

The GS-F also has a dynamic drive system offers four different settings - Eco, normal, Sport and Sport + - so you gradually sharpen throttle response to increase steering weight and to reduce the effect of traction control and electronic stability program of the car. This system is best left in the normal mode, which offers a nice blend of comfort and sharpness. The car of the semi-automatic transmission can also be adapted to make it faster or more relaxed, depending on how you want to drive.
The sound of the V8 engine is gorgeous and addictive, especially over 4,000rpm and the car answers feel very natural. But you never lose a sense of their sheer size and weight. For the ultimate in speed and driver involvement of the BMW M5 GS F has also beaten.
