The Lexus GS is the first new car from Lexus since September 2001. The product of a 40-month development period, Lexus engineers
focused on increasing the performance they felt was lacking in the previous generation benchmarking it against the BMW 5-series.
So what's new on the GS?
Nearly everything.
The GS comes with a choice of two engines. The 3.0L V-6 (coded 3GR-FSE) has four valves per cylinder with dual intelligent
variable valve timing as well as direct cylinder injection. The V-6 produces 245 hp at 6,200 rpm and 230 lb. ft. of torque
at 3,600 rpm. The 4.3L V-8 (coded 3UZ-FE) also features four valves per cylinder, continuously variable intelligent valve
timing and sequential multi-port fuel injection. The V-8 makes 300 hp at 5,600 rpm and 325 lb.ft. of torque at 6,350 rpm.
Zero to 60 times are 6.8 and 5.7 seconds with top speeds of 143 and 149, respectively.
Both six- and eight-cylinder models are mated to a new dose-ratio &speed automatic transmission with an auto-stick
option, allowing the driver to make the gear selections.
