The Lexus GSF uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The suspension system refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the vehicle's frame and axles. Its functions are: to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, to cushion the impact from uneven road surfaces transmitted to the frame or body, and to reduce the resulting vibrations, ensuring smooth driving. The Lexus GSF is a mid-to-large-sized car with body dimensions of 4975 mm in length, 1866 mm in width, 1447 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2870 mm.

I test drove the Lexus GS F last month, and what impressed me most was its suspension system. It features a double-wishbone setup at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear, complemented by adaptive variable suspension technology. The ride felt incredibly stable on the road, with remarkably minimal body roll during high-speed cornering, while remaining supple and comfortable on bumpy city streets. The adaptive system automatically adjusts stiffness, and switching to Sport mode instantly tightens everything up, making it feel like a completely different car—full of excitement. Compared to other luxury performance cars, like the Mercedes-AMG, the GS F's tuning is more balanced, never sacrificing comfort for extreme sportiness. In my opinion, the suspension design is quite clever, offering both driving pleasure and long-distance comfort—it doesn’t wear you out even after extended drives. I’d highly recommend friends to test drive it before buying to experience these details firsthand; they make a huge difference in handling.

Over the years, I've driven quite a few high-performance cars, and I'm particularly fond of the Lexus GS F's suspension setup. It features a double-wishbone front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension with AVS adaptive functionality. The double-wishbone excels at handling lateral forces on the front wheels, ensuring stability during cornering, while the multi-link rear suspension absorbs vibrations effectively on rough roads. The overall tuning is on the firm side but not overly harsh. The AVS system adjusts the dampers in real-time based on road conditions, providing excellent traction even in rainy weather. The steering offers direct feedback, and body roll is well-controlled, avoiding the excessive harshness of some pure sports cars. Whether it's for grocery runs or leisurely drives, it strikes a good balance between comfort and responsiveness. I recommend car enthusiasts who enjoy handling to pay attention to such configurations and regularly inspect the dampers to prevent wear issues.

I've driven the Lexus GS F, which features a front double-wishbone suspension paired with a rear multi-link setup and an adaptive system. This combination delivers smooth driving, stable at high speeds and comfortable at low speeds. The AVS function allows for switching between soft and firm settings to adapt to road conditions. The handling is precise, with no body roll during cornering.

Compared to the standard Lexus GS, the GS F features significant suspension upgrades with independent designs front and rear. The front double-wishbone setup lowers the center of gravity, while the rear multi-link system enhances tracking. Equipped with Adaptive Variable Suspension, it delivers a sportier driving experience without compromising daily practicality. I felt extremely confident when driving on mountain roads, without the harshness of its German rivals. Under normal usage, the shock absorbers hold up well, and regular maintenance can extend their lifespan.

I experienced the Lexus GS F on a track day, and the suspension system was truly hardcore. The front double-wishbone structure provided ample support, reducing front wheel bounce, while the rear multi-link setup ensured strong rear wheel grip. When the adaptive technology was switched to Sport mode, it became super tight, making acceleration and cornering rock solid, with highly reliable extreme handling. This type of high-performance suspension design balances performance, making street driving not too uncomfortable. A reminder to fellow drivers: check tire pressure and alignment before long trips to avoid premature wear of suspension components affecting performance.

More Q&A

Is it correct to say that a car travels approximately 80 kilometers per minute?

The statement that a car travels approximately 80 kilometers per minute is incorrect; it should be that a car travels approximately 80 kilometers per hour. Below is the relevant information: Speed of a car per hour: Under normal circumstances, the speed of a car is about 40-60 kilometers/hour. If we calculate based on a car speed of 60 kilometers/hour (1 kilometer/hour = 0.28 meters/second), then the car's speed is 16.8 meters per second. With 60 seconds in a minute, the distance traveled would be approximately 1008 meters. Speed of a car on highways: Highways should indicate the speed limits for each lane. The maximum speed should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed should not be less than 60 kilometers per hour. If there are 2 lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 kilometers per hour. If there are 3 or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed for the middle lane is 90 kilometers per hour.

What is the emergency lane used for?

The emergency lane is primarily designated for vehicles handling emergency situations, such as engineering rescue, firefighting and rescue, medical ambulance, or police officers performing urgent official duties. Any private vehicles are prohibited from entering or stopping in the lane for any reason. Exceptions for stopping: If you encounter an unavoidable issue like a vehicle breakdown, you should park in the emergency stopping area, turn on the hazard warning lights, and place a warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle. During nighttime, rain, fog, or other adverse weather conditions, you should also turn on the side marker lights, tail lights, and rear fog lights. All passengers must move to a safe area and, if necessary, promptly call the highway emergency number to request assistance. Introduction to the highway emergency lane: It refers to the section of the road adjacent to the right-side traffic lane, including the hard shoulder, with a width of at least 3 meters and an effective length of 30 meters or more, capable of accommodating vehicle stops. In emergencies, vehicles may drive or stop in the emergency lane.

Does Car Heating Consume Fuel?

Car heating does not consume fuel. Principle of heating system: The warm air comes from the heat generated by the engine during operation: After the engine's cooling system dissipates heat from the engine, a fan directs this waste heat into the cabin to create warm air. When the heating is not in use, the fan stops, the heating vents close, and the dissipated heat is released into the atmosphere. Therefore, car heating is essentially waste heat recycling and doesn't consume additional fuel. Winter heating precautions: Prolonged use of heating with air recirculation mode leads to stale air inside the vehicle. Given the limited space in cars, it's important to periodically open windows for ventilation when using heating in winter.

What is the ampere rating for 5 batteries at 60V?

5 batteries at 60V is 20 amps. Detailed calculation method: Generally, 1 battery is 12 volts, so 5 batteries would be 5 multiplied by 12 equals 60 volts, with the current remaining unchanged; 4 batteries would be 48 volts; 6 batteries would be 72 volts. Charging precautions: When charging the batteries, it is important to use a matching charger. For example, a 60V battery requires a 60V charger for charging. Do not use a 48V or 72V charger, as this may damage the battery or the charger. Methods to extend battery life: Avoid storing batteries in a discharged state: A discharged state refers to when the battery is not charged promptly after use, leading to insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. The longer the battery remains idle in a discharged state, the more severe the damage. When the battery is not in use, it should be charged once a month to extend its service life.

How many days can a new car be driven without a license plate?

New cars cannot be driven without a license plate. Applying for a temporary license plate separately: If applying for a temporary license plate separately, the car owner needs to prepare the relevant documents in advance. The required materials include the buyer's ID card, purchase invoice, compulsory insurance policy (copy), and the vehicle's factory certificate. Copies of all four documents must be brought along. Then, proceed to the vehicle management office window to complete the application, submit the relevant materials, and after review, pay the processing fee to receive the temporary license plate. Applying for a temporary license plate along with registration: If applying for a temporary license plate along with the registration process, the staff will provide a temporary license plate before the official license plate is issued.

Can vehicle transfer be done during holidays?

It is possible to process on Saturday mornings that are not statutory holidays, but not on Saturday afternoons or Sundays. This is because vehicle inspection is required, and the vehicle management office system is not open on Saturday afternoons and Sundays, making inspection impossible. On statutory holidays, the vehicle management office is closed, so transfer cannot be processed. The documents required from the original owner for a used car transfer include: the registration certificate, driving license, and ID card. The buyer needs to provide an ID card, and if they are from another city, a residence permit or temporary residence certificate is also required. Vehicle transfer first requires a vehicle evaluation. The evaluation fee is generally 1%-2% of the evaluated car price, and other fees include license plate and driving license costs. The original commercial insurance of the car can be canceled (compulsory insurance cannot be canceled), or the insurance can be transferred to the buyer at the insurance company. Precautions when buying a used car: Incomplete procedures. Complete procedures for a used car include: vehicle registration certificate (or original purchase invoice), driving license, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee procedures, and compulsory insurance. If the vehicle registration certificate or driving license is missing, or if there are arrears in compulsory insurance or road maintenance fees, it will bring endless trouble to the buyer. Therefore, when purchasing a car, if the seller cannot provide complete procedures, consumers should be especially vigilant. Tampering with the odometer. Most consumers like to judge the condition of a car by the odometer, and sellers often take advantage of this psychology to tamper with the odometer. In fact, the odometer is not just a record of usage intensity but also a recorder of the maintenance and replacement of other parts of the vehicle. If buyers perform maintenance based on the tampered odometer reading, it will bring a series of potential safety hazards. New paint covering "external injuries." When consumers choose a used car, if the car has been repainted and there are signs of repair around the front face, rear, and A, B, C pillars, the car is very likely to have been involved in a major traffic accident. "Tuning the heart" to raise the price. Many consumers often pay too much attention to the "heart" of the car when buying a car and neglect the health of the car body. Used car sellers take advantage of this psychology by replacing engine parts to make the vehicle's "heart" appear younger, thereby raising the price.
