2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport Supercharged adds what we've been missing

If there’s one legitimate complaint that can be hurled at the 2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport, it’s that it has no more power than its less-sporty siblings. It’s not that 306 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque isn’t enough for good performance – as the GS 350’s 5.7-second sprint to 60 can attest – it’s that a separate model that’s billed as a performance version could use a few bonus ponies to keep enthusiasts buyers from feeling snubbed.

If there’s one legitimate complaint that can be hurled at the 2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport, it’s that it has no more power than its less-sporty siblings. It’s not that 306 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque isn’t enough for good performance – as the GS 350’s 5.7-second sprint to 60 can attest – it’s that a separate model that’s billed as a performance version could use a few bonus ponies to keep enthusiasts buyers from feeling snubbed.

And so we present you with this supercharged GS 350 F Sport, which is currently being shown here at SEMA. There’s an Apexi CG SPL supercharger kit along with a matching Smart Accel Throttle Controller, joined by a PTS Joe Z Series header-back exhaust kit. The body is equipped with a Wald International Aero Package kit, and the entire car is hunkered down on 20-inch Vossen CV7 wheels via an RSR coilover suspension system.

Horsepower is up by 60 at the rear wheels with the supercharger running a conservative three pounds of boost, which means this F Sport is living up to its name. Check it out in the image gallery above and the press release below.
