VIDEO: Lexus IS, GS, RC F Sport get the drift in new ad

Lexus has been pushing for a more dynamic image for itself for some time now. Most will identify with the full-on F Performance models like the IS F, RC F and GS F, but the company also offers the F Sport line – kitted up versions of regular models that provide styling and dynamic upgrades over standard variants.

It’s the latter that the Japanese luxury brand is showcasing here in this new, thrilling commercial. The 30-second film shows the Lexus IS, GS and RC F Sport doing everyday errands whilst being completely sideways the entire time. The firm isn’t averse to show some spirited driving in its ads, that’s for sure. The TVC highlights the availability of the kit on the turbocharged “200t” models, including the new facelifted GS.

The performance mods on F Sport variants go a bit further than those on similar models like BMW’s M Sport, Audi’s S line and Mercedes-Benz’s AMG Line – apart from the usual visual tweaks and sports suspension, F Sport cars also gain unique upgrades like Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) and uprated brakes, as well as options such as variable-ratio steering, a limited-slip differential and even rear-wheel steering.

      It’s a conspiracy theory. Since Toyota can’t sell so many cars with their ancient technology and milo tin safety, they are promoting all the young and old beng to drift kow kow so that they can masuk longkang and total loss their car.

      Hopefully, the driver don’t get killed and will buy another toyota. So, there you go, more chances of getting into accident and higher volume of sales for repeated beng sportivo.

      Drift forever…..
