2015 Lexus GS450h Gets The F Sport Package

For the 2013 and 2014 model year Lexus GS models, the F Sport package can only be selected on GS350.

Beginning from the 2015 model year, Lexus will also offer the same F Sport treatment to the GS hybrid trim: the GS450h. When selecting the F Sport pkg, you will not only get more aggressive exterior styling, but also most importantly, you get revised adaptive suspension, larger front brake rotors with high-friction brake pads, 19-in wheels; and by selecting the F Sport pkg, you can further add the active rear wheel steering to the list too.

However, no change is made to the powertrain, which has a combined total output of 338hp.
