The Lexus GS F arrived in 2016 as a direct competitor to German super sedans like the BMW M5. Unlike its rivals, who had moved to turbocharging, Lexus stuck with a high-revving, naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 engine. Paired with a sophisticated Torque Vectoring Differential (TVD) and an 8-speed automatic, the GS F offered a distinct analog character combined with legendary Lexus reliability.
Collectors are drawn to the GS F precisely because of its engine. The 2UR-GSE V8 is one of the last of its kind, delivering 467 horsepower with a linear powerband and an incredible soundtrack. Production numbers were low, ensuring a degree of exclusivity you don't get with its more common German counterparts. It's a car that blends daily usability with a special driving experience.
The market for the GS F is stable, with average prices sitting around $50,000. It offers significant performance for the money, often undercutting its European competitors on the used market. Well-maintained, low-mileage examples, especially from the final 2020 model year, command the highest prices and are likely to hold their value well as enthusiasts seek out naturally aspirated V8s.
Buying Tips
- Check for the infamous "valley plate" coolant leak on the 2UR-GSE V8. It's a time-consuming and expensive repair.
- The Torque Vectoring Differential (TVD) is a key performance feature. Test its different modes (Standard, Slalom, Track) to ensure proper function and listen for any unusual noises.
- Inspect the Brembo brakes carefully. The large rotors and pads are expensive to replace, so factor significant wear into your purchase price.
- Thoroughly test the infotainment system. The Remote Touch controller can be frustrating for some users, so make sure it and all system functions work correctly.
- A complete service history from a Lexus dealer is a major plus, indicating proper maintenance has been performed on schedule.
