Lexus considering GS Coupe

Bookmark and Share

In August, Lexus is scheduled to reveal the production version of the 2013 GS 350, but a new report is indicating they are also considering a coupe version of the sport sedan.

Lexus' product planner manager Ben Mitchell told Inside Line, "We're really trying to increase the emotional qualities of our brand. We want to emphasize exterior styling and dynamics." He also said the company is at the moment involved in a "fairly active study of coupe opportunities" and that it was keen to increase the emotional qualities of the brand.

Should the GS Coupe become reality, it will compete with the Audi A5, BMW 6-Series and Mercedes E-Class coupe. Additionally, we can expect the coupe will be equipped by a 3.5-liter V6 engine with more than 300 hp and a starting price of approximately $50,000.
