Expertly engineered for the competitively driven, the 2018 GS offers the power to compel absolutely. Lexus engineers traveled the equivalent of 26 times around the Earth to create the ideal driving feel. Sporting a wide track, an available performance damper by Yamaha® and optimized body rigidity courtesy of spot and laser welds, the result is a vehicle that will change the way you see Lexus.

In Manual mode, the fast-shifting, eight-speed Sport Direct-Shift automatic Electronically Controlled Transmission with intelligence (RWD) can be controlled with paddle shifters, putting the exhilaration at your fingertips. By automatically increasing the engine speed during manual downshifts, the throttle-blipping function delivers faster and smoother gear changes for greater acceleration and response when you are coming out of corners.

Drive Mode Select enables you to make your GS more responsive or efficient with a simple turn of a dial.

High performance, peak responsiveness and powerful acceleration—the GS 300 heralds the next evolution of Lexus performance. The highly efficient 2.0-liter, in-line four-cylinder, twin-scroll-turbocharged engine makes an entrance with 241 horsepower* and 258 lb-ft of torque.* Dual VVT-iW delivers excellent fuel efficiency with low noise and vibration while ensuring high torque, no matter the range of speed. And, unlike almost every other automaker in the world, Lexus chose not to outsource its turbocharged engine. Going in-house, in-depth and in defiance of industry norms, Lexus engineers developed a heavy-metal, horsepowered work of art. Introducing the GS 300.

Fuel efficiency and low emissions are only the beginning. A cutting-edge Atkinson-cycle engine with leading-edge power output places the GS 450h in the top of the V6 class. Boasting 338 total system horsepower,* dual VVT-i and low engine noise, the GS 450h offers an impressive 34-MPG highway estimate* and rockets from zero to 60 in a mere 5.6 seconds.*
