雷克萨斯继LS500标准版车型之后，还将推出低油耗的LS500h和动力更强劲的LSFSport，最后这款可以说是LS全尺寸豪华轿车系列中的顶级款。据日本一家杂志透露，LSF将在下月开幕的东京车展首次亮相。最近拍到的谍照显示，雷克萨斯正在开发高性能版LS，因此该车将在东京车展亮相的传言并不让人觉得惊奇。从该车造型风格看，像是FSport，但它更大的进气口，外延轮拱，硕大轮圈和刹车盘，加上其他升级，更像是LSF版本。与FSport相比，该车最大变化是搭载了一台全新的4.0升V8双涡轮引擎，据传功率达到600马力，比LS500增加了185马力。而LSF并非LS唯一的一款衍生车型，据信，新一代LS未来还将增加一款燃料电池车型，雷克萨斯两年前发布的LS-FC就是该车的概念版车型。
Lexus LS F With New Biturbo V8 Could Debut Next Month In Tokyo
Following the launch of the standard LS 500, the thrifty LS 500h, and the more aggressive LS F Sport, Lexus is allegedly preparing to unveil the crown jewel of its fullsize luxury sedan range. A Japanese magazine - from where the photo attached below comes from – has revealed a high-performance LS F is going to be introduced as early as next month at the Tokyo Motor Show.
The spy shots have shown Lexus is cooking up a hotter LS, so this new rumor does not actually come as a big surprise. The styling is expected to take after the aforementioned F Sport, but with bigger air vents, bulging fenders, larger wheels and brakes, together with other upgrades you’d expect from an F model.
By far the biggest change compared to the F Sport will be underneath the hood where reports from Japan are indicating Lexus will install a brand new 4.0-liter V8 engine equipped with a pair of turbochargers. Rumor has it the eight-cylinder mill will deliver about 600 horsepower, which would give it a substantial 185 hp more compared to the regular LS 500.
The go-faster F derivative is not the only additional version in the pipeline as it is believed the new LS will eventually receive a fuel cell setup as hinted by the LS-FC concept shown almost two years ago.
