Of new GS in an attempt to lure younger buyers is not only more sporty than its predecessor (after it is spent much time around Germany Nürburgring), but also with devices and things that the young techies are sure to love. While it is not the huge leap forward we had hoped we might be we are already sure that there much more than car be often forgotten predecessor.

Under the hood 350 offers on the 2013 GS the same 3.5-litre V-6 as the 2011 model, but with a slight power bump 306 HORSEPOWER and 277 lb-ft of torque.

The hybrid, will be revealed the on the next Frankfurt auto show, is likely to keep the drive train of the 2011 GS 450 h, and Lexus released a teaser of photo a model of that name. The F-sport will have the same engine as the regular GS 350 but with 19-inch wheels, sticky tires, larger brakes, adjustable-rate control, and an Adaptive chassis.
