雷克萨斯副总裁Jeff Bracken近日宣布,将在明年北美车展发布一款或两款新车。虽然他没有透露细节，但这两款车很可能就是GS F和下一代RX。其中GS F预计将搭载取自RC F的5.0升V8引擎，功率约为373千瓦/500马力，扭矩541牛米，而RC F为为348千瓦/467马力，扭矩541牛米。搭配八速自动变速器，0-96公里/小时加速时间约为4.5秒，最高时速273公里。下一代RX内部将采用三排座椅，可搭乘七名乘客，因此车身尺寸将进一步扩大，除了因为要容纳更多乘客外，也是为了与NX拉开更大距离。

 

Lexus could bring two new models to 2015 NAIAS in January, likely GS F and RX

Lexus Group Vice President Jeff Bracken has announced at least one, if not two, models will premiere in January 2015 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

 

Talking to WardsAuto, Bracken said Lexus will bring to the forthcoming NAIAS at least one new model while a second car is possible as well. He didn't divulge the identity of these two new vehicles but chances are he was referring to the GS F and RX.

 

The GS F was spotted numerous times while undergoing testing and is expected to get an RC F-sourced V8 5.0-liter engine upgraded to deliver about 500 bhp (373 kW) and 400 lb-ft (541 Nm) whereas in the RC F it packs 467 bhp (348 kW) and 389 lb-ft (541 Nm). Output will be channeled to the wheels through an eight-speed transmission that should grant a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) run in approximately 4.5 seconds before hitting a top speed in excess of 170 mph (273 km/h).

 

Details about the next generation RX are scarce at the moment but Lexus NX assistant chief engineer Kei-Ichi Nishiyama previously stated the new RX might be transformed into a three-row crossover since "there is lots of demand [for seven seats] from the US market." In addition, Lexus Australia chief executive Sean Hanley backed up the statement by saying Lexus has been studying the possibility of installing seven seats in the new RX set to grow in size to accommodate the additional passengers and also as a measure to distance itself from the NX.
