LEXUS GSF vs AUDI S4 B9

Filmed in Mexico

Lexus GSF: RR Racing Bazooka exhaust, K&N filter
Audi S4 B9: BMC filter

My buddy's S4 and I having some fun with a few highway pulls. Wish we could have gone longer but there was too much traffic ahead.

Lexus got the sound, looks and performance and it will last 20 plus years and be like new.

[kchan]

I know what a B9 S4 is capable of especially when tuned but you really can't beat Toyota reliability and that V8 sound.

Way to represent GS F crew (limited to lucky 2500 owners only, per production numbers during its production years 16-20 )

Still want a GSF. One of the many reasons why is In this vid. Great content

[dogetothemoon]

GSF is definitely my goal upgrade after my GS450H. The sound alone is worth so much.

[paulohidalgo]

holy crap this is probably my favorite video with the GSF sounding like thaT, GAWD!

[MrRangerZr]

Oof that v8 sound...may not be the fastest but the pureness...

[jojo]

I’m glad you were recommended will be looking forward for more content 👌🏼💯

[EgguEd]

Those V8 equipped F models pull nicely in the high end especially when you open up exhaust

[danieldagenais]

Both awesome cars but i got a crush on the indestructible GS-F

[semba_]

That's some real nice V8 engine sound

[EverybodySMD]

Both very cool cars, I would have a hard time deciding which of the two to own

[abovemadness]

That V8 Top end, nice rolls! I’m pretty sure if that Audi gets tuned up with a few add ons it’ll win.

[danielradomiak]

Brilliant stuff. My dream car but will never happen due high road taxes in country I am in. Still love my gs450h 😂😊 bring more content with this one!

[naturalgainzzz]

Give that lexus a RR tune and the audi a apr tune and you 2 would be hurting alot of feelings out there

[naturalTJ]

That GS is beautiful and such a class act (my opinion) I’m a woman and bought the black w red interior F sport, but I when I see a GSF which is super rare. Great buy

[Veyronp]

interesting race. the GSF is a very rare and cool car so props for that!

[WHERESSS]

pretty impressive on the S4's part if you ask me. I'm familiar with both and while neither are for me, I get the appeal of both cars.
heres my rant on my biggest pluses and minuses of both cars:
Audi:
-Has a sublime chassis. Handling/ride balance is damn near perfect for a daily. Super impressive how well it handles given the smooth ride. Only two brands that top it in ride/handling balance my opinion are Porsche(their SUVs ride on the same MQB Evo platform), and anything riding on GM's Alhpa platform with MRC dampers.
-Like the GS, its obvious from the suspension tuning that this car was not meant to be on track. It kind of begins to disappoint when nearing its limits, say about at about eight tenths. Maybe a stiffer rear sway bar might be worth the trade off here.
-Nice seats, high quality buttons/knobs inside, solid door thunk, perfect transmission programming.
-Other than the above, interior looks quite cheap for the price and brand. The dashboard and upper door panels seem more like "VW Plus" than something a luxury brand would use. The styling of these panels is classic VW. Rubberized plastic doesn't exactly exude quality. The best interiors now use stitched [fake] leather on the dash and upper door panels. Even Mazda is doing this now with cars in the $20k range.
-Windows are single pane unless you step up to Prestige.
-Steering is lighter than an OG Initial D Arcade. Steering feel and feedback are non-existent. These are not driver's cars. It almost feels like a Fanatec video game controller. Totally disconnected, WAY too much assist.
-Android Auto doesn't work with my phone on Android 11 phone.
-Turbo lag is horrendous. This kind of lag does not belong in a luxury product period.
-Its a lease-only car. I'd get rid of it before 60k miles if I owned one.
-the B&O is not exactly hifi. it sounds sterile, no depth in the mid. tweeters are too bright. no imaging to speak of.
Lexus:
-Glorious NA V8. Always in the powerband, no matter what gear or throttle position. Buttery smooth, builds power progressively as any proper engine should. Glorious sound track. Will last until the end of time. This is why you buy this car. Its just perfect...absolute perfection. I praise them for keeping this engine in production for so long while the Germans were power chasing while getting raped by regulation.
-If you plan on keeping it(I don't know why you would buy it otherwise), you don't need to set aside 5 grand for random shit breaking.
-Like the S4, great sound deadening that makes the car feel highly refined.
-While the ride/handling balance isn't quite there with Audi, the balance is still impressive and better than AMG or M. it is a highly capable chassis. It can handle more power than the stock 470 hp or whatever it is. That is, the chassis doesn't limit the car's performance. You can throw more power at it and still keep it balanced if you firm up the springs and dampers. Very livable for city and highway driving in stock form compared to the Ms and AMGs.
-Interior is nice, mostly all the surfaces feel the part for the price of the car. DOesn't feel and look cheap like the Audi. Has the old school luxury feel and none of the modern minimalist, cold design.
-The car needs more camber AND needs to be adjustable. 0 degrees and no room for alignment changes is ridiculous for something like this. That pretty much rules out any kind of aggressive driving with stickier tires. That tells me this car was NEVER meant to be on track, or even a weekend car for the twisties. Its pretty much meant to be a a highway car like an AMG.
-The infotainment...what infotainment? The maps are from iPhone 3 era. No Android Auto or Carplay. You can mod it for a few hundred bucks to make it android auto and carplay capable which I think is a must because of the shitty Lexus UI.
-The sound system... uses high quality electronics and low quality drivers. Overall it is better than the B&O in the Audi. Its highly integrated so you can't get unmolested line level outputs from the stock head unit. therefore I wouldn't think to look into aftermarket midrange drivers and tweeters because of this. They are EQ'd and you're gonna have to use something like an AudioControl LC7i and parametric EQ. No way will that be hifi. I'd just add a small JL sub to the stock system and be done with it. It'll be decent.
