Reader’s Question:

I’ve set my sights on acquiring a Lexus as a second car. Now, before I go to one of the dealers here Texas, I’d like to find out more about the Lexus GS.

Hey there, Jules. Good show! A Lexus will definitely bring or add some more pizzazz in your garage. A Lexus brings a certain air of style and elegance that is backed up by power under the hood. At least, that’s how I would describe the GS cars from Lexus. Now, on to the good part, shall we? What makes this car go vroom and zoom?

The GS series comes in three trims that differ mainly on the types of engine that is mounted on it. Let’s start with the GS 350 AWD and GS 350 RWD. Main difference between the two is the drive systems on them. As the name implies, AWD is all-wheel while RWD is rear-wheel drive. Both have six-speed sequential automatic transmission to move these fast machines using their powerful engines. These two are powered by a 3.5 Liter V6 engine that can do about 303 hp at 6,200 hp. These two still go 0 to 60 under 5.9 seconds. If that wasn’t great enough, you should look at the GS 460 RWD. Under the 460 RWD’s hood you’ll find a 4.6 Liter V8 with 8 –speed sequential automatic transmission. This car can rev up to 342 he at 6,200 rpm and this GS clocks 5.4 seconds on a 0 to 60 mph sprint. Vroom and zoom in Texas, Jules!
