Lexus is working on a competitor to the BMW M5, Jaguar XF-R, Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG and the Cadillac CTS-V. Known as the GS-F sedan, the model will arrive sometime in 2013 with a detuned version of the Lexus LFA’s 4.8L V10. The capacity of the 4.8L V10 will be reduced to 4.6L, helping it produce 450-hp.

The GS-F will be followed by a new Lexus SC that will hit markets in 2014. The current model is due to finished production this July. Sources say that the new Lexus SC will be a hybrid model powered by a 5.0L V8 with an electric-motor delivering power to the rear-wheels.

Before the new SC and the GS-F arrive, Lexus will bring to the market the new CT 200h hybrid hatchback. Scheduled to go on sale in Europe in 2011, the model is not planned for the North American market.

  • I think first it has to take on the Infinity M and G series first before challenging BMW M5 or Mercedes-Benz E class.

    you can't compare a G to the GS.... it's a different class of a car... you need to keep in mind the G should be a direct competitor with the ISx50 .... so far the G35/37 are pretty good competitors for the IS250, but 350? no way in hell.... As for the M vs the GS.... you win some you lose some.....

    Ummm ... I guess these 2 cars are good for image but they are poor sellers for the brand & perhaps best left alone?
