We only just got our first taste of the next generation of Lexus’s executive sedan with the presentation of the 2013 GS 350 at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance show in Monterey last week, but the Japanese automaker has already moved along and is now getting ready for the world premieres of the GS F-Sport and GS 450h.
Teased in these cropped images are the new additions to the GS range. First up is the GS 450h, which as the name implies, will feature a hybrid powertrain combining a V6 gasoline unit with an electric motor.
The hybrid version of Lexus’ Audi A6 challenger will receive its world premiere at the Frankfurt auto show in September with sales to follow early next year.
The GS F-Sport, which we get a sneak peek through a single photo, is a sportier version of the GS 350 featuring an aero package that includes among other parts, a redesigned front bumper and honeycomb-style grille, plus larger alloy wheels and according to Lexus, a suspension kit to improve handling.
Though we could see the GS F-Sport in Germany, there’s a strong possibility that Lexus may hold back and show it at the Specialty Equipment Market Association show in November in Las Vegas.
