10th Anniversary Lexus GS F & Lexus RC F Special Edition

[Demetrius]

Just realized these anniversary editions are 2019 MY. Meaning no power bump or really any refresh for the 2019 model year

Here is a vid from the Chicago Auto Show. I love that color!!!

That matte gray is incredible!

Is there any confirmation that the GS will continue to be made? The sales of the GS are pathetic and the ES offers most of what the GS does at a much lower price. I fully realise that the petrol heads will not agree but as an average purchaser who wants a luxurious sedan the ES offers very good value by comparison.
What will happen to the CT now that the UX is to be launched, the Ct is still available outside of the U.S.
Judging by the 2.5 h name plate can we assume the UX will be above the CT in the line up? Compete with the NX?

No word one way or the other at this point. Lexus tends to be very hush-hush and under the radar whenever they're discontinuing a model line. Case in point: HS.

Worth noting, however, is that Europe is only getting the 10th Anniversary Special Edition of the RC F, and not the 10th Anniversary GS F available in the United States and Japan.

What will happen to the CT now that the UX is to be launched? (The CT is still available outside of the U.S.)

Having just gotten its second facelift, CT should continue outside North America until at least the end of the 2020 model year. What happens beyond that point depends on how much CT sales decline versus the new UX.

Judging by the 2.5 h name plate can we assume the UX will be above the CT in the line up? Compete with the NX?

UX will be notably smaller than NX. UX will also use a smaller engine (UX 250h = 2-liter, 4-cylinder hybrid) than NX (NX 300H = 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder hybrid).

Minor things, 2020 might bring some change....

That matte nebula grey looks even better in video than the pictures. It'll probably be downright stunning in person. I love the blue interior they've done as well. Wish there were a 3rd gen ISF for the 10 years...

Ok !! I got a chance to see this As well as other models , and get a GSFdrive with the great SCOTT PRUETT 50 Years in race car driving ,Two weeks ago ,did not get any film but I can say this . The GSF 10 edition is the truth , the seats , leathers and packaging of the paint is crazy . Like you will fall in love as soon as you even glance at it . This is not a car to drive everyday , because the interior is so beautiful that you won’t want too ..

 

[mikeavelli]

I love both but shame they are going to be overshadowed by the ES and even UX debuts.

Lexus said at the beginning of the year that they would have a lot of releases this year ,so far LS500 and LS500h , LX five seater ,RXL 7 seater , LC500 structural blue , GSF AND RCF 10 editions, ES350 , ES H ,ES FSPORT AND THE UX , 11 their on target with that assessment. Not for getting the flare yellow LC500 ,GSF and RCF that don’t come to the US yet . The ES is until September so the 10 editions will sell for the summer , that’s all the time they need and the UX will set them up for winter and new year sales . They’ll have enough time apart to sell .

I've been keeping close tabs in the separate Lexus USA Promises "14 (now 17) New Products" in 2018 thread. As of this writing, 14 out of the 17 have been revealed. That leaves 3 more (either all special editions of existing models or perhaps one new concept and two new special editions) to debut by the end of this year.

 

[GTG]

The concept suv may be one you may be right , but I know that the IS , ISF , and GS should come next year as well as the GX . They just might OH !! I forgot the matte black GSF AND THE RCF May be here or coming , so that makes 14 along with the flare yellow models 17 . Nice !

@krew - any idea how many GS F 10th anniversary editions are being produced world-wide? 100 for USA market, any for Canada, Japan? Europe?

Looks like only 100 GS F 10th Anniversary Editions for the U.S. and 25 for Japan. None for Europe (remember that GS is on its way out there) and apparently none for Canada or Australia, either. Their pressrooms make no mention of 10th Anniversary Fs.

As to RC F coupe 10th Anniversary Editions, only 350 copies will be built . The breakdown is 35 for Japan, 240 for the U.S. (technically one per U.S. dealer) and, presumably, 75 for Europe.
