What is the 0 100 on a GS250 F Sport?

The 0–100 km/h time for a Lexus GS250 F Sport isn’t fixed and depends on year, market and transmission. In general, most examples fall roughly in the high 7s to low 9s seconds range, but there is no single official figure for this specific configuration. If you can share the exact year and market, I can provide a tighter estimate.


Understanding the GS250 F Sport designation


The Lexus GS line has used a variety of trims and names over its production years. The “F Sport” badge denotes a sport-oriented trim with suspension tuning, wheels and styling enhancements rather than a dedicated higher-performance engine. The “GS250” badge appeared in some markets during the early 2010s as a GS model powered by a 2.5-liter V6, but there isn’t a contemporary, universally sold model strictly called “GS250 F Sport” in most regions. Acceleration figures thus hinge on the exact year, market and whether the car is front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, as well as the transmission and tires fitted.


Where the GS250 (and F Sport) appeared by market


Here is a general outline of how the designation has shown up in different regions. Times cited are approximate and refer to typical automatic versions with standard tires; actual results vary by trim, drivetrain, and equipment.



  • Europe and the UK (roughly 2012–2015): GS250 with a 2.5L V6 and automatic transmission, with F Sport offered as a sporty package in some markets. 0–100 km/h commonly reported in the ~8.0–9.0 second range depending on drivetrain and equipment.

  • Australia and New Zealand (roughly 2012–2014): Similar engine and drivetrain options; F Sport styling and suspension tuning may be included in the package, with 0–100 km/h typically around 8.0–9.0 seconds.

  • Other regions (Asia, Middle East): Timings broadly in the same ballpark, with minor variations due to tires, gearing and traction control settings.


In all cases, the exact 0–100 figure depends on the specific car’s configuration, and official manufacturers’ data for a dedicated GS250 F Sport is not consistently published across markets.


Typical 0–100 km/h ranges by variant


Below are approximate ranges drawn from contemporary road tests and manufacturer materials for the GS250 family and equivalent F Sport-equipped trims. These are ballpark figures meant to guide you; check your exact car for precision.



  • GS250 with automatic transmission, standard tires, rear-wheel drive: about 8.0–8.9 seconds

  • GS250 with automatic transmission, all-wheel drive (where offered): about 8.2–9.0 seconds

  • GS250 F Sport (if fitted with sport-tuned suspension and related equipment): typically similar to the non-F Sport variant, with minor variations depending on tire choice and weight; roughly 8.0–9.0 seconds


Note that the F Sport designation mainly affects handling and styling rather than delivering a large engine power increase, so acceleration times often align closely with the base GS250 figures unless specific weight-saving or tire changes apply.


How to verify the exact figure for your car


If you want a precise 0–100 km/h time for a specific GS250 F Sport, use a process that accounts for your car’s exact build and the testing conditions.



  1. Collect your car’s exact specifications (year, market, drivetrain, and whether it has the F Sport package).

  2. Consult the official brochure or Lexus press materials for that year and market to confirm the engine and trim data.

  3. Review contemporary road tests from reputable outlets that tested the same trim and drivetrain in similar conditions.

  4. For a personal measurement, perform a controlled acceleration test on a safe, dry surface with GPS-based timing or a calibrated stopwatch, ensuring consistent launch technique and tire temperature.


In summary, the precise 0–100 km/h time for a GS250 F Sport varies by year, market and equipment. For the most accurate figure, identify the exact model configuration and refer to period-appropriate tests or your own measured results.


Summary


The GS250 F Sport does not have a single universal 0–100 km/h figure. Most examples sit in about 8.0–9.0 seconds, with small variations based on market, drivetrain and tires. If you provide the specific year and market, I can narrow the estimate to a tighter range or a precise figure. Always verify with the exact car’s spec sheet or tested results from reputable automotive outlets.

What is the RWD 0 60 on a Lexus GS350 F Sport?


With all-wheel-drive models, gears are shifted by a six-speed automatic transmission; rear-wheel-drive models get an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The GS350 F Sport we tested made the dash from zero to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds. That's not bad, but rival models are notably quicker.



What is the top speed of the Lexus GS350 F Sport?


It has a 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8 with 467 horsepower, good for a 0-60MPH time of 4.5 seconds, and a top speed of 168 MPH.



What is the 0 60 time for the 2019 GS 350 F Sport?


The 2019 Lexus GS 350 F Sport has a 0-60 mph time of 5.7 seconds for the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) model and 5.8 seconds for the all-wheel-drive (AWD) model. Both models are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 311 horsepower.

  • 0-60 mph: 5.7 seconds (RWD) / 5.8 seconds (AWD)
  • Engine: 3.5-liter V6
  • Horsepower: 311 hp
  • Transmission: 8-speed automatic (RWD) / 6-speed automatic (AWD) 



How fast is the Lexus IS 250 F Sport?


And we did the 1/8 mile in 10.37 seconds. And I wonder what the trap speed. Was for the 1/8 mile and for this one we did 1/8 mile and 10.37 at 72 2.11 mph so decent trap speed not bad at.
