2012 Lexus GS-F only 1600kg?!

iceman335 · 02-21-2011, 03:04 PM

Just saw this... I know it only has 465ps, but how can the car only weight 1600kg(3520lbs)?? That means ~500+lbs less than F10 M5???

Wow that's extremely low weight. Is it from a reliable magazine?

Carbon fibre monocoque with aluminium body panels?

This magazine also released official pic for the coming new GS, since Lexus isn't going to have new engines for the new GS, IMO the only way to improve fuel economy is to reduce the weight and pair with its own 8-speed tranny, just like Porsche did on the 2011 Cayenne.

I love the lower weight but the redesign looks bland.

A total missed for the redesigned regular GS. At least give Toyota credit for trying ....

This is an old photoshop from a while back. There is nothing confirmed about this car at this point. It will not even look like that.

Okay that makes sense. I'm guessing it won't actually weigh 1600 kg then.
