The Lexus
GS 350 F Sport Safety car will make its debut at the Sydney Motorsport Park this
weekend. This is the result of a long-standing partnership between Lexus
Australia and Sydney Motorsport Park.
"There
have been many changes here at Sydney Motorsport Park in the last year and we
are pleased that Lexus has decided to maintain its long-standing relationship
with us. The GS 350 not only looks fantastic, but the feedback I’ve had from
the drivers is that it’s a really enjoyable vehicle to drive…we are pleased
that Lexus has decided to maintain its long-standing relationship with us,"
said CEO of Sydney Motorsport Park and the Australian Racing Drivers’ Club,
Glenn Matthews.
As the name implies, the safety car comes with larger brakes, chassis tweaks, as well as the Lexus Dynamic Handling System (LDHS) with Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS) and Adaptive variable Suspension (AVS). Motivation is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 306-hp, allowing the model to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 6 seconds.
