GS Performance and Technology - Refined Aerodynamics, Adaptive Variable Suspension

The GS has been significantly reengineered to deliver a very engaging andpleasurable drive. In addition to enhancing the torsional rigidity of the bodyshell,Lexus developed an airflow management concept called ‘aerodynamic damping’.Inspired by the Lexus LFA V10 supercar, it moves airflow close to the vehiclebody to enhance handling, smoothes the flow in and around the wheel arches,and reduces air pressure within the arch itself.

GS Performance and Technology - Boosting Dynamic Performance

If you are in a dynamic mood, select Sport S/Sport S+ Modes and the GSimmediately retunes powertrain and handling characteristics for sports driving.Sport S Mode revises throttle mapping and transmission shifting priorities toharness the sports capabilities of the powertrain. Sport S+ Mode, available on GSmodels equipped with AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension system), enhanceshandling characteristics with a sports setting of the AVS, EPS (Electric PowerSteering) and VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management), together withthe powertrain settings of Sport S Mode.

GS Design - Redefining Quality

The GS redefines build quality for this class of performance sedan. You will sense it  when you first touch the precision-machined, real aluminum audio controls or the beautifullystitched leather. Or stroke the car’s gleaming paintwork, which is wet-sanded by handafter each foundation coat (a time-consuming process normally reserved for custom-builtcars), and checked by eye as well as digitally to ensure a perfect finish. The quality of theGS450h’s optional bamboo steering wheel was created with the same attention to detail,from its development to the painstaking lamination. 

GS Design - Visionary Design

The GS delivers intuitive and relaxed control thanks to an ergonomic cockpit layoutclearly separated into display and operation zones to help minimize driver eyemovement, and details like the optional wide 12.3-inch EMV (Electro Multi-Vision) display. Using the next-generation Remote Touch device, you can interact with thecar’s advanced equipment to navigate using high-definition maps (Optional), or enjoya home theater experience with the 17-speaker Mark Levinson Premium SurroundSound System (Optional).

LS_Performance Aerodynamics

Superb aerodynamics contribute to the fuel-efficient performance and quiet comfort of the cabin, even in high-speed driving. Refinements to reduce drag include aero stabilizing fins on the front door frames and rear combination lamps, and optimizing the shape of the front bumper.
