Lexus GS F vs RC F | DSPORT Track Tested

For 2016, Lexus unveiled its latest F Performance platform, the GS F. Based on the GS sedan, the GS F enjoys all of the refinements of the GS and GS F Sport models, but with the performance benefit of the same V-8 engine that propels the RC F. The GS F also benefits from a few extra performance enhancements, including a ZF Sachs tuned suspension system and the Torque Vectoring Differential as standard equipment.

[@cruzmontoya273]

GS F is the better one for me I think. It's the most beautiful car Lexus makes

[@euocgiejshhwjs5576]

I prefer lc 500

[@KLRGT500KR]

I saw both of them side by side and it was game over for GSF. I bought the RCF. Rest is history.

[@davidwade7681]

@@KLRGT500KR i agree rcf looks much better

[@theylive2749]

I bought the GSF because the RCF Frankenstein chassis is garbage. The GSF feels better and even with four doors it keeps up with the RCF no problem. The RCF will never be a future collectible like the GSF.

[@davidwade7681]

@@theylive2749o why because you bought one?? Both will be collectibles rcf quicker foresure 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤪

[@LacoteCohen]

These are the cars I will buy with my money. LFA over Ferrari and Lamborghini for me,I like being different.

[@DONNYBOYY28]

hahhha ! Lexus cars don't have a soul and neither do you ? I don't want you buying an Italian car anyway

[@minthos4045]

Donny Rino gtf out pls. Your high end shit no where as reliable as Lexus

[@k.almohammadii]

Donny Rino do you know anything about cars? LFA,RCF,etc

[@rogermahajan7586]

Donnny RIno: LFA has more soul and character than any modern Ferrari. You can read reviews to see that from people these cars. I have an RCF in Molten Pearl with Carbon/TVD and it is one of the most fun cars I have ever driven (and I have driven many European and Japanese cars).

[@esteemedenergy]

People in last place alway say they just wanted to be different. Go ahead, loser.

[@Enzo87325]

Great video

[@XBrandonLeeX765]

They have Andrew! LS460 has carried a 4.6 V8! Amongst several others, and don't forget the IS-F from 2008-2014. Same engines these two models adopted from, they upgraded internal components and gave it approx 50hp more! IS-F still weighs lesser than these two cars. They might run close.

[@btort13]

I got a kid and my weekend car is the RC F lol only thing that gets annoying is him kicking my passenger seats and taking him and out but you get used to it

[@sleepe361]

Lexus Power!

[@ICYASIAN95]

If only Lexus put v8 into all their cars years ago.

[@deltanineclouds]

+Andrew tran What are you talking about? Ever since Lexus came to US in 1989, one of their first cars had a V8, the 1UZ-FE.

[@ICYASIAN95]

+supasupreemxx I'm talking about making something similar to a AMG, V or M The division lol

[@deltanineclouds]

+Andrew tran I'm sure Lexus(Toyota) could have done that long time ago if they wanted to. The only and biggest problem with AMG, M, V, etc. is that they aren't as reliable to Toyota engines. All those cars from those manufacturers have nice cars, but they don't last long and depreciate fast. Lexus on the other hand always had the reliability/longevity factor in mind when building cars. The F line has only been around for 8 years or so, but I'm sure Lexus will start catching up the the power levels of the performance divisions you mentioned. Seems you are comparing the cars based on power since you mentioned "V8". But as far as Toyota/Lexus goes, they definitely can build that if they like. Toyota builds custom Crown Royal Saloon for the Japanese imperial family with V8 twin turbo engines making ~700hp or so. I believe they build 5 for the imperial family. So they definitely have the know-how and technology to make it happen, it just too bad they waited so long to start a performance line up for the general public. Few months ago, I had lunch with guys from Lexus corporate and RCF chief engineer Eiichi Kusama and his RCF team, and they said Lexus has F cars coming out in the future that will hopefully blow minds away. Lexus does have some nice performance cars coming out now and I think Lexus has potential to rival it's competitors and blow them out of the water (or at least some).

[@UluvDuddes]

+supasupreemxx gs400 was also the fastest sedan when it came out. And to me and a lot of people reliability/longevity factor is the most important. The ISFs are easly 200k cars with 400hp. Im tired of these shit euros having major problems under 50k miles.

[@deltanineclouds]

+UluvDuddes I agree with everything you said, except one thing. GS400 was not the fastest sedan. It was only the fastest Lexus at that time. BMW M5 or MBZ E55 is much faster than the GS400 on the straight or at the track. Dont' get me wrong, I love Lexus and I wish the GS400/430 was much more capable. Hopefully, moving foward, Lexus 'F' will start releasing cars that can match the competition or beat it AND have great reliability and longevity. This would be the game changer.

[@TWHISPERER]

Chris Harris didn't like the RCF because he didn't think it was good on the track, yet, no one else has that complaint?? I'll take the RCF, it's the better looking car.

[@RK1FX]

but he did like it on the road and loved the gsf over the m5

[@tigergray1100]

Lexus will last longer than a Ferrari and a lambarghini

[@MLGCAMPERL97]

did he just compare vtec to v8? uhh must not be his car....

[@siam21]

I think he was comparing Hondas vtec with the Toyota/Lexus VVT-I

[@gdubhz]

every car has its own version of vtec which stands for variable valve timing. v8 cars have variable valve timing but its not called vtec.

[@codeseven7057]

Dumb video! You should have raced both cars against each other.

[@arce.hector]

They didn’t want to do that because they knew the GSF would win.. lol

[@davidwade7681]

@@arce.hector lol gsf heavier an o ya I already beat one lol

@@davidwade7681 by like 100 lbs .... Barely anything

[@davidwade7681]

@@JacobyAldrich it's somthn lol

[@JacobyAldrich]

@@davidwade7681 it's also the difference between a super skinny dude and a heavier-set dude. I get it coming from an isf platform, but for the extra hundred lb you get a longer car that's going to handle better and transport people more efficiently. I love the RCF no doubt gsF just checks more boxes overall. I think the RCF has a better-looking rear end

[@euocgiejshhwjs5576]

Bmw and Mercedes compared to this are shit

[@stevensegal5958]

The mustang gt350 shelby cost less and out performs each of these.

[@UluvDuddes]

+Steven Segal I feel you on that, but 4 doors and reliable GSF is a great sedan.

[@NBASFAN]

And when you walk inside, you know it's got cheap seats, cheap leathering, and cheap plastics every freaking where. That's why Lexus is a luxury sports sedan and Mustang is so cheap but with good performance. Don't act like the car only has four wheels and a seat when you talk about cars. Not everyone's a daring track racer who turns off all stability controls and race in the rain. Car is always about business. Safety first, so your customers family won't comeback and sue you for their dead family member. And complain about the cheap plastic that's everywhere in a Mustang, and the cheap tech that everyone's been using for 5 years (but they just included now). And the ride comfort that can never be achieved. And the reliability of the vehicle. And the high end service in the dealership. I can go on and on about how you know nothing about anything.

[@INUMIMI28]

That cockiness is probably why some people stay away from GT350
