Luxury brands have done well with a slew of high-performance variants of their base vehicles, whether it's Mercedes-Benz<\/a>'s AMG division or BMW<\/a>'s "M" designation. But with the exception of the high-powered LFA Supercar, Toyota<\/a>'s Lexus<\/a> brand has mainly stayed out of the horsepower-fueled fight.<\/p>\n

Now the Toyota subsidiary appears to be coming out swinging. With rival Infiniti<\/a>'s "IPL" edition of the G37 coupe selling well and Audi<\/a> recently announcing the A6, Lexus has pulled the lid off of the GS-F, a high-powered version of its GS midsize sedan, to compete with the speedsters in both Germany and Japan.<\/p>\n

Road and Track reports that the GS-F will source a 5-liter V8 engine from the company's previous IS-F compact. That engine delivered 465 horsepower, which would put the GS-F at a competitive disadvantage with cars like the M5, which may have over 600 hp in its next version. It's possible that Toyota could choose to use a supercharger to up the numbers, but the news source cites unidentified sources in saying that the GS-F will shed a significant amount of weight in order to surpass rivals in 0-60 times with the decreased power.<\/p>\n

No pricing has been announced, but the GS-F will likely carry a high price tag. Those interested in high-performance vehicles on a budget may want to buy a cheap used car and make some upgrades themselves.
