What car combines Japanese ingenuity and American style? The Lexus GS
is a medium sized luxury sports sedan manufactured by the North American
division of Toyota cars. Since its mother company is a Japanese auto
manufacturer, you can expect the same high technology and ingenuity they
offer with their main line.
The Lexus GS is actually similar
to the Toyota Aristo. The only difference they have is the engine and
transmission engineers and kit package. The first generation GS were
made first with the 2JZ-GEI6 3.0 liter engine, then latter with the
twin-turbo 2JZ-GTE 3.0 liter engine. The second is the very same one
used for the Mark IV Toyota Supra. It was also made with the 1UZ-FEV8
4.0 engine. The car offers both 4-wheel and rear-wheel driving
capabilities. As for its interior, it has a delightful walnut-wood
center console, leather seating and a premium stock sound system.
The second generation Lexus GS made its first appearance at the Chicago
car Show and was sold as a high performance sedan. For this
generation, the GS became more American. The second generation GS was
provided with a more powerful 4.3 liter 3UZ-FEV8 engine, giving it more
hp. In 2004, this generation also catered to the SportDesign copy of
the GS. This special edition GS had sport suspension like the GS 430,
broader tires and alloy wheels. Only 3,330 of these limited units were
ever sold.
the third generation GS, released in January of
2005, became Toyata's and Lexus' first D4 direct-injection fuel system
vehicle released in the US. Like its forefathers, the third gen was
produced as an automated transmission vehicle, but this time, it carries
up to eight speed levels. Also, its engine got another power upgrade
as the third gen offers up to a 4.6 litre 1UR-FEV8 engine.
