Short Description
The journey of a GS driver can follow multiple paths: the GS 350, GS 350 AWD and GS 430. While the paths vary slightly, the destination remains the same: pure, unbridled exhilaration. Both GS 350 models feature dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) while the GS 430 features single VVT-i. By continually monitoring and adjusting the engine’s valves, the VVT-i systems provide optimal power at all times to the driver. The GS 350 is propelled by a direct-injection, 303-horsepower,1 3.5-liter V6. And a 290-horsepower,1 4.3-liter V8 gives the GS 430 its 0-to-60 time of 5.7 seconds.1,2 With so much power, it’s all the more appropriate that a “launch” button is used to ignite the engine. Because the less time you have to spend turning a key, the more time you’ll have to spend as you please.

The GS sports a six-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission with electronically controlled intelligence. The addition of the sixth gear provides greater acceleration on demand and virtually seamless shifting. And with an Electronically Controlled Transmission with intelligence (ECT-i), the GS can learn your acceleration habits and adjust its shifting timing accordingly. The sequential-shifting feature enables you to manually shift gears by simply nudging the gear shift forward or backward. Too much of a good thing? When it comes to features that enhance performance, there’s no such thing.

The journey of a GS driver seldom follows a straight line. Rather, in the mind of this driver—the more curves, the better. Which is precisely why the GS models include a multi-link rear suspension for responsive handling. And why the GS 430 sports a Variable Gear-Ratio Steering (VGRS) system* that automatically varies the rack-and-pinion steering ratio for optimal maneuverability and control. And because every road—straight or curvy—must eventually end at some point, the GS comes equipped with an advanced braking system featuring front brake pads that yield a higher coefficient of friction.3 As well as an Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) on the GS 430 that enables you to customize the suspension to one of two settings, Normal and Sport, to best fit your driving style. The all-wheel drive (AWD) GS 350 isn’t particular when it comes to devouring roads. AWD helps give added traction in all types of driving conditions. And, by allocating engine power to each individual wheel, it can help provide the GS greater grip in corners than two-wheel-drive performance sedans.
