    2018 specifications at link below: https://carconfig.lexus.co.uk/gb/en/?RC/735687da-31ad-4922-9335-66f37cb58981/grades

    Next GSF or ESF if it happens will probably be a V6 hybrid - certainly won't be a naturally aspirated V8. 😕
  3. Chafford1
    They didn't specifically mention the GSF but logic suggests that Lexus would not keep a production line open for tiny numbers of rhd GSFs for the UK. But let's hope logic is wrong! However the GS will die in the US soon anyway.

    Direct message from Lexus UK on Twitter confirming Dutch article stating GS production for Europe finishing end April. I've seen nothing on a replacement for the GSF when the new ES is launched.
  5. Chafford1
    Unfortunately no more new GSFs available for order. Lexus UK has confirmed production of the GS for Europe finishes end April. A few nice used GSFs on Carwow though.

    Lexus UK has sent me a direct message on Twitter to confirm that GS production for Europe will fInish at the end of April.
  7. Chafford1
    But replaced for all markets by the front wheel drive ES early 2019 according to reports.

    Sales stopping in Europe is what I have read. Sadly no more GSFs.

    Interesting progress report. The touchpad seems to be a universal gripe. The latest (very positive) article on the Car Magazine website states that 162 orders placed to date out of 250 allocated to UK (1000 total for all of Europe). 50/50 orders for V8/Hybrid. Most V8 orders for top spec version, hybrid orders for 'base' version (if you can call it that!)

    Immaculate! 👍

    Presumably the same changes will be needed for the GSF and LC500

    I wonder what difference a reduction of 14hp will make to the performance. 0.1second over a standing quarter mile?

    Worth buying April's Car Magazine - excellent article on the LC500 on California's Highway 33 - V8 of course! There's even a brief technical comparison with the LFA.

    2018 RCF specifications now on the Lexus website. Reduced price for base model but also slight reduction in power from 477 DIN hp to 463 DIN hp due to EU emissions regulations.
  15. Chafford1
    Website now updated.

    Now this Motor Trend comparison with the DB11 is much more like it! http://www.motortrend.com/news/aston-martin-db11-v8-faces-off-with-lexus-lc-500-on-head-2-head/ As is this article on the LC500 by EVO: http://www.evo.co.uk/lexus/lc

    Currently considering options to replace my Passat.

    Sorry. Missed that line in your post!

    I'll pick up a copy. The LC500 V8 was featured in a car chase in Black Panther which I was dragged along to yesterday.
  20. Chafford1
    Lexus still haven't updated their website for the 2018 models.
  21. Chafford1
    Does that mean the GS F is being phased out as well?
  22. Chafford1
    To be fair, Chris Harris gave the LC500 a pretty good review before the race - the only strange thing he said was that the car is too expensive at £75k given that this is only half the price of a Honda NSX. The race was always going to be close - LC500 243bhp per tonne, Civic Type R 229bhp per tonne. The Lexus had the legs on the straight but was outbraked by the 'R' due to the Lexus's weight: 1935kg kerb weight versus 1380kg for the Type 'R'. Against last week's 570S, SVR and Supercharged Mustang, the LC500 wouldn't have had a chance - but then unlike those cars, it's a gentleman's express!
