PERFORMANCE FROM THE GROUND UP

Exhilaration isn't made in a computer lab. It's discovered behind the wheel, over the course of many miles. More than 1,000,000 miles, in the case of the GS. By widening the track by almost two inches and increasing the body rigidity by 14% through additional optimally placed spot- and laser-weld points, the result is a Lexus you have to experience to believe.

Handling was made even more precise by incorporating all-new front and rear suspensions. Engineered with aluminum components and larger bushings, they reduce unsprung weight and deliver significantly greater agility. And, in the rear, improved suspension geometry further enhances control and tire cornering force.

DRIVE MODE SELECT

Whether you're looking for added exhilaration or taking a relaxing drive through the neighborhood, Drive Mode Select enables you to make your GS more responsive or efficient with the simple turn of the switch.

In ECO mode, a calming blue light surrounds the gauge cluster while the throttle response and engine power output are moderated for increased fuel efficiency. The climate settings are also optimized by periodically switching to recirculation mode to reduce ventilation loss and even using the heated seat function for more efficient warming.

This mode provides the optimal balance of fuel efficiency, engine performance and, on Luxury-equipped models, the degree of road feel.

Sport S mode changes the gauge cluster lighting to a fiery red and alters the powertrain for faster gear changes and more dynamic throttle mapping. Available Sport S+ mode goes a step further by also tightening the suspension and increasing steering response. In both modes, the transmission's shift points are automatically altered coming into and out of corners for sharper acceleration.

306-HORSEPOWER V6 WITH DUAL VVT-i

Boasting direct injection, one of the most powerful base engines in its class and the core sound of the LFA, the GS puts the exhilaration of 306 horsepower  [*] at your fingertips. In Manual mode, its new, faster-shifting six-speed transmission can be controlled with paddle shifters. By automatically increasing the engine speed during downshifts, their throttle-blipping function delivers faster and smoother gear changes for greater acceleration and response coming out of corners.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

The GS is engineered to handle all types of curves—even those thrown by Mother Nature. By monitoring current driving conditions, available all-wheel drive automatically allocates engine power between the front and rear axles. This can provide improved traction and control on a wide range of road surfaces and in inclement weather.
