Breath of Fresh Air!---2018 Lexus GS-F Review

Yes, you read that right. Most new cars are nothing like the older versions but that is NOT the case with the Lexus GS-F! This big sedan perfectly echoes the greatness of the Lexus IS-F sedan just with a longer wheelbase. the dynamics, engine, sound, and feeling are all too familiar once you get behind the wheel. Compared to the BMW M5, E 63 S AMG, and CTS-V, this is very underwhelming in terms of straight line performance. Once the road gets curvy, the story gets a little different. The playful character of this car begins to shine through and the bulletproof V8 sings all the way to it's redline with ZERO hesitation! It is truly the last naturally aspirated performance sedan left. Get one while you can!! Also, be sure to give me a thumbs up if you liked this video!!

You're the first reviewer to toggle that ASC setting to compare the on to off sound. THANK YOU for the attention to detail on this review!!

[@MrMustangrick]

Forrest I just bought one, found it at Lexus of Jacksonville Florida. A 2017 model Atomic Silver with Red Interior with only 3k miles ! Huge price discount over a new one. I love love love this Lexus for the reasons you state here. Great review !

[@giofromtexas2679]

The fact that this car is the only car with a naturally aspirated V8 is a win for me!... all the competitors have turbos and superchargers so I'm willing to guarantee that of you take away the forced induction, their numbers wont be as high as the GSF 😏

[@davidwagner2626]

Well of course the numbers won't be as high...that's the whole point in forced induction, to bring those numbers up without having the displacement.

[@MrMustangrick]

Thank you, great test report. I own a 2013 GS 350 and this is the car of course to replace it. I dove an F and it is orgasmic. I am finding low mileage used GS-F 's for a big discount over new. Do not buy this Lexus new as they take a massive hit in the first year or so. Looking for atomic silver outside and the circuit red inside,. Stunning !

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Such a fun car. Too bad Lexus doesn’t give us more power to compete with the cars you mentioned but still a sweet ride. Excellent job showing it off man, keep up the stellar work!

[@iftikharnaseem1992]

Yes but with reliability and that sound track i guess its worth it otherwise there is an upgrade option from RR racing supercharger which gives it 560 WHP :)

[@peterharvey153]

GS F doesn't have the power, but it doesn't have the price tag either.

[@iftikharnaseem1992]

@@peterharvey153 indeed all equipment standard besides the power it has is plenty to play with almost 500 horsepower

[@MrMustangrick]

Prime you will never understand this car until you drive one. This car is SPECIAL. Great job Lexus !

[@M.a.k_98]

A thump up before I even watch the video ❤❤👍👍👍

[@KirkKreifels]

Love this car! The swan song for the GS which will be discontinued by 2021 more than likely.

[@MrMustangrick]

Kirk shut the H up....you are always wanting to kill off the GS, your full of it and talking out of your arse. Enough already, I will never watch your vids again. I just bought a used one and it is the best car I have ever owned, and I have had Mercedes, Audi's and Corvettes.

[@danielchapter70128]

I’m about to put down $10,500 down payment for a 2016 GS F! This car really amazed me on the test drive. They’re finally in my budget with about 55-60k miles on them and still feel absolutely new. The ML sound system is crazy good.

[@lorinjones3007]

Bless 🙌🏽

[@rockman469]

I got the Atomic Silver with Red interior loving every minute of I got no regrets buying it, if I have a big Car Garage like Jay Leno I would keep it there just to keep the mileage very low

[@KhrissyDaDon]

Lexus should definitely redesign this into a four door coupe... like the CLS, 6 series gran coupe, and Audi A7.

[@raybraud2947]

Beautiful car, even more beautiful color. Have a 2015 GS350, gonna upgrade to this exact car, same color, same seat, gonna powder coat the orange brakes red.

[@MrMustangrick]

Ray I just traded my GS 350 for one, silver with the red interior. I am in awe !

[@QeenoyAsli]

Awesome review brother! Keep up the great work!

[@TotalRedline]

Holly cow you really get the scoop on these cars! Can't believe Lexus just let you drive their cars

[@pipepulla]

LONG LIVE THE ISF

[@shahrukhabbas7687]

No too much electronic crap like German cars,Toyota,Nissan,gmc and Mercedes makes amazing vehicles.

[@Tully3674]

Having driven this car for two weeks: The Good is its known reliability and interior craftsmanship. The "OK" is its handling and straight line performance. The Bad is its over-priced, lacks the tech of its competition (no Apple or Google technology) and bland styling. The Acura RLX is a better car due to its technology (also has bland styling). But if I was looking for a $70K car, serious consideration goes to the Cadillac CT6. A sleeper in this category that's a terrific driver.

[@Asafianow]

You lost me at Acura

[@rogermahajan7586]

LOL@ Acura RLX being in the same phrase as the GSF. You clearly don't know what this car is. Seriously, that is comical.

[@mikeyzl1]

Lmfao

[@MrMustangrick]

Dude I just bought a 2017 used L/C certified one for $60k from Lexus of Jacksonville, it rocks !

[@MrMustangrick]

@@rogermahajan7586 You are so correct man.

[@YaniCR29]

Amazing car 👏🏼

[@MrMustangrick]

Agreed ! Just bought one. Love it

[@aaoaaa]

13:25 TVD is NOT a new feature/button. It has been there since this generation came out in 2016

[@otlracing1]

Forrest's Auto Reviews....You are very mistaken, TVD IS BEEN OUT IN THE GSF SINCE 2016. Not sure who told you otherwise.

[@macmusikpro]

Q: is the ASC only for cabin amplified noise or the overall car ? Thanks

[@TotalRedline]

11:20 fully agree

[@user-qk9yi6ro4s]

They've had the TVD since 2016 fwiw

[@АндрейБантате]

🔥🔥🔥

[@TotalRedline]

9:30 is it fed in through speakers?

[@MrMustangrick]

Yes it is,

[@arvinder4694]

The speakers feed in a tone that “cleans” the engine noise. This is different compared to the Germans who just pipe in a MP3 of recorded exhaust noise.

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

What? What? Why no one told me about it?

[@baldheadlogic]

Great Review Bro. I must say....She's a bad b&^$%

[@crownr0yalonice]

I can't deal with the infotainment in this car. It's a dealbreaker for me.

[@MrMustangrick]

Drive it and you will understand

[@JDlucky1]

B HM you’re right about the infotainment system, super dated, slow, etc. Such a let down.

[@bougartschnizer2166]

INFINITI Q50 RED SPORT 400 ALL THE WAY!!!

[@MrMustangrick]

Nope
