Normal Mode provides smooth driving with a high degree of active safety under normal driving conditions. Sport Mode switches the control of VSC2 and TRC2 to enhance confident sports driving enjoyment on the race track. Expert Mode gives proactive slide control to sports drivers to help assist spin reduction manoeuvres, contributing to aggressive sporty driving with a margin of safety on the race track. 54 DISCOVER MORE ABOUT THE GS TVD (Torque Vectoring Differential) For confidence-inspiring ‘F’ driving, even on the race track, the GS F features an innovative TVD. The system efficiently distributes the appropriate amount of torque between the rear wheels regardless of whether the accelerator is depressed, to help control the vehicle’s orientation while cornering. TVD has three driving modes to choose from. ‘Standard’ realises a refined balance in vehicle behaviour between agility and stability while cornering. ‘Slalom’ emphasises steering response to mimic the nimbleness of a small vehicle. ‘Track’ emphasises consistent stable behaviour during high-speed track driving for accelerating out of corners with confidence. 1 AVS: Adaptive Variable Suspension system.

DISCOVER MORE ABOUT THE GS HOME BOOK A TEST DRIVE Aerodynamics The outstanding aerodynamics and driving stability of the GS F are the product of a relentless focus on optimising its aerodynamics. Careful attention was paid to honing details, including the brake cooling ducts, air outlets in the rear of the front fenders that vent air from the engine compartment, front spats and CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic) rear spoiler. This attention to detail extends to the underbody. Optimising the engine and floor under covers and the position of aero stabilising fins creates a smooth air flow under the floor from the front through to the rear. AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension system) AVS optimally controls the damping force of the shock absorbers on all four wheels in response to driver input and road surface conditions, contributing to excellent ride comfort and handling. Front and rear suspension For dynamic high-performance ‘F’ sports driving that feels right at home running corners on the race track, the GS F is equipped with double wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. In addition to the use of exclusive components, each component was optimised for rigidity and layout. They were then honed under demanding conditions on race tracks around the world to help provide excellent responsiveness, together with outstanding ride comfort. Disc brake To provide the powerful braking performance and high fade resistance required to race on the track, the large ventilated disc brakes feature integrated monoblock aluminium calipers and high-friction brake pads. With 6 opposed pistons on the front and 4 opposed pistons on the rear, the aluminium calipers contribute to both light weight and rigidity. Slots in the discs help keep the brake pads clean, while spiral fins contribute to the excellent cooling performance. Personalising the GS F experience, calipers with the ‘F’ emblem are available in black.1 Body structure A high rigidity body structure provides the foundation for the heart-pounding yet approachable exhilaration of ‘F’ sports driving. Its outstanding rigidity is the product of innovative production technologies, including laser screw welding, laser welding and body adhesives. The addition of front and rear body braces with extra brace coupling points on the front, together with extensive spot welding, further contribute to the responsive and stable handling, as well as the refined ride comfort. 1 56 The brake system is designed for high loads. Therefore, certain speeds, braking forces, and ambient conditions such as temperature and humidity may cause brake noise. Orange calipers depicted not available in Australia. Overseas model shown. Australian specifications may vary. 57 EPISODE SEVEN FIND A DEALER GS F HOME BOOK A TEST DRIVE Carbon ornamentation shown available as an additional cost. In the GS F, each element has been designed with the elegance and sporting prowess of ‘F’ in mind. The ‘integrated foaming’ structure of high-back front sport seats optimises the body support and holding performance required for sports driving. Distinctive stitching and exclusive headrests emblazoned with the ‘F’ emblem express the unique quality of the F marque. Exclusive aluminium pedals and an ergonomic steering wheel help support accurate control on the race track. Providing precise driving information, the content displayed on the large diameter TFT (Thin Film Transistor) tachometer changes with the selected drive mode. The GS F also provides you with the refined practicalities required of a premium Lexus sedan. The centre armrest in the rear seats folds down to reveal cupholders and convenient controls for rear seat passengers. The ample luggage space has a convenient boot-through for carrying longer items. Remote Touch Interface Simple operation that includes enter switches integrated on both sides and a back switch lets users interact intuitively with the navigation and audio systems on the 12.3-inch EMV display, for easy control of the systems. Colour head-up display The large colour head-up display projects a range of frequently checked driving information and warnings on the lower windshield glass in the driver’s line of sight. In addition, two exclusive ‘F’ Sport Mode displays show the tachometer and shift range or the shift range and rev indicator. DISCOVER MORE ABOUT THE GS Metres The ‘F’ driving experience is enriched by the large central colour TFT (Thin Film Transistor) tachometer. This is enclosed in a large diameter ring machined from aluminium with a stainless steel finish that gives it a deep metal lustre. The design of the tachometer and the content it displays change with the selected drive mode, enhancing visibility and usability. The position of the information, and the size of fonts and indicators displayed were finetuned to provide quick confirmation of vehicle performance at a glance. Normal Mode In Normal Mode, the colour TFT tachometer features large speed and shift selection displays in the centre. The tachometer occupies 270 degrees of the dial, providing a wide scale that enhances visibility at all RPMs. Aluminium pedals The slit pattern of the aluminium pedals contributes to excellent functionality during pedal operation. It helps to suppress foot slippage while supporting smooth and secure movement, contributing to the feeling of sporting control. Sport S+ Mode The metre switches to a bold simple design suited to race track action, with bar-style tachometer for heightened visibility, and shift selection, speed, water and oil temperature displays arranged in the centre. The shift indicator is shown on both sides of the shift selection display. 58 Sport S Mode As quick shifting is at the heart of sports driving, the larger shift selection display in the centre is set above the speed display. A 3-stage rev indicator changes from yellow to orange to red to visually communicate shift timing to the driver. Eco Mode The exclusive Eco Mode indicator encourages and reflects eco-friendly driving with a dynamic display. The more aggressive the acceleration, the less the blue indicator is displayed. Luggage space Befitting a premium sports sedan, the ample boot space easily accommodates 9.5-inch golf bags and sports bags. A boot-through also enables the carrying of longer items. The wide-opening boot lid helps with easy loading and unloading. The power boot lid can be opened using a switch on the Electronic Key or in the instrument panel. Overseas model shown.

Every Lexus is based on an uncompromising approach to creating premium automobiles. Inspired by our ‘Yet’ philosophy, we seek innovation in every facet of engineering through a sophisticated fusion of seemingly incompatible ideas such as ‘high performance yet high fuel efficiency’ 1 . In addition, unique Lexus styling is born of our L-finesse design language, a fine balance of ‘leading-edge’ and ‘finesse’, so that every Lexus is not only captivating and luxurious, but also highly refined. Finally, every individual Lexus model is also measured against a set of internal standards covering design, performance, specifications and equipment, to confirm it is distinctive and worthy of the Lexus emblem. 60 This pursuit of perfection is evident at every stage of the manufacturing process. Every Lexus vehicle is created with a masterful skill and attention to detail inspired by both traditional artisanship and state-of-the-art engineering. For example, at the Tahara plant in Japan, precision components made using leading-edge digital technology are assembled and finished by master craftsmen called Takumi, whose technical expertise and sure senses are honed by decades of rigorous experience. 1 Actual fuel consumption may vary depending on driving conditions/style, vehicle condition and options/accessories fitted. 61 FIND A DEALER HOME BOOK A TEST DRIVE GS EXTERIOR COLOURS A palette of colours, from the bold and luminous to nuanced and sophisticated, lets you express your individuality.

How does Lexus Ownership Solutions work? • You choose the deposit that best fits your needs. • You choose your term.+ + • You decide on the estimated kilometres you think the vehicle will have travelled at the end of the term (the End Odometer). The End Odometer will also include any kilometres already on the vehicle. • Lexus Financial Services (LFS) then determines the GFV of your vehicle and calculates your monthly repayments with a final payment equal to the GFV. The GFV is the minimum value of your Lexus at the end of your finance contract. So, if you choose to return your Lexus at the end of the term, LFS will pay you the GFV which will be put towards the remaining balance owing on your account (subject to fair wear and tear conditions and agreed kilometres being met). The end of the term? Simply replace, retain or return. At the end of your term you can choose to: • Replace or sell your Lexus using the trade-in value or sale price to pay the remaining balance of your account. • Retain your Lexus and simply pay the remaining balance of your account (including final payment). • Alternatively, return your Lexus and, subject to fair wear and tear conditions and the agreed kilometres being met, we’ll put the GFV towards the final payment on your account. Choosing your deposit – what is best for you? With the flexibility of Lexus Ownership Solutions, you can choose the deposit that best fits your current needs. • I f, for example, you have funds tied up in other investments, you can choose to finance your new Lexus with a zero deposit.†† • Alternatively, by using a larger deposit, you can lower your monthly repayments. • B etter still, compared to other finance options over a similar term with no GFV or equivalent balloon final payment, Lexus Ownership Solutions can provide lower monthly repayments.+++ Want more certainty? With Lexus Ownership Solutions, you’ve got the reassurance that at the end of the term (subject to fair wear and tear and agreed kilometres being met) you’ll never owe more than your vehicle’s worth to LFS. In other words, you don’t have to worry about what your vehicle will be worth in the future because you know its minimum value from the outset.+ What happens in the case of the unexpected? If your vehicle incurs damage and does not meet the Fair Wear and Tear guidelines, LFS will give you the opportunity to have your vehicle repaired. Otherwise, LFS can organise the repairs and deduct the cost from your GFV. This adjusted GFV will then be the price that LFS will offer you if you return the vehicle at the end of your term. Of course, if you retain the vehicle, the condition doesn’t matter, however, if you replace it or sell it privately, the condition will obviously impact your sale price. So what does your accountant think? Naturally, we think Lexus Ownership Solutions is an excellent, innovative way to put you in control of buying a new Lexus. That said, we suggest you seek independent advice to ensure Lexus Ownership Solutions is right for you. Wouldn’t it be great if Lexus Ownership Solutions was just the beginning? Lexus’ innovations and commitment to customer service extend well beyond Lexus Ownership Solutions. Once you purchase a new Lexus, you’ll become a member of the Lexus Encore Privileges Programme and enjoy a host of exclusive benefits.† For further details, simply visit your nearest Lexus dealer or see lexus.com.au/services/benefits/ DISCOVER MORE + T he Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) is the minimum value of your new or approved demonstrator Lexus at the end of your finance contract, as determined by Lexus Financial Services (LFS). If you decide to return your car to Lexus at the end of your term, LFS will pay you the agreed GFV which will be put against your final payment, subject to fair wear and tear conditions and agreed kilometres being met. The information provided is general in nature. You should seek your own financial advice to determine whether Lexus Ownership Solutions is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
