Lexus Teases New F Sport Model

 Go ahead and try and read the tea leaves on this one.
















Lexus says "a new era of F Sport performance vehicles is coming." We'd elaborate, but that's all the automaker has said while at the same time releasing the image above of an F Sport badge on what looks like some sort of carbon-fiber panel. In short—as short as Lexus's statement—this could be anything.


Rather than speculate, let's recap what F Sport is. To the Lexus brand, it is a sport-themed trim level that on most models adds more aggressive styling bits and a host of "F Sport" badging. You can find F Sport variants of the Lexus UX, NX, and RX crossovers and SUVs, as well as the IS, ES, and LS sedans, not to mention the RC coupe. Notably missing from this lot is the brand's LC and LX flagship coupe and SUV. Might Lexus be teasing an F Sport variant of one of these models?

The "F" is a reference to Lexus's top-tier performance sub-brand, F—as in, the RCF coupe, and the recently retired GSF sedan. These are to Lexus what M models are to BMW.


The language suggesting "a new era of F Sport performance vehicles is coming" indicates there is some change or pivot happening around the F Sport family, but what kind of change, exactly, we're not sure. We guess you should stay tuned and see what Lexus shares next.
