2008 LEXUS GS Optional equipment shown.
008 LEXUS GS Performance Optional equipment shown. The journey of a GS driver can follow multiple paths: the GS 350, GS 350 AWD and GS 460. While the paths vary slightly, the destination remains the same: pure, unbridled exhilaration. The GS 350 features dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i). By continually monitoring and adjusting the engine’s valves, the dual VVT-i system provides optimal power at all times to the driver. The GS 350 is propelled by a direct-injection, 303-horsepower,1 3.
2008 LEXUS GS Performance (Continued) Optional equipment shown. The GS 460 sports an eight-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission, while the GS 350 is equipped with a six-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission. The additional gears in each of these high-performance sedans provide greater acceleration on demand and virtually seamless shifting.
2008 LEXUS GS Suspension & Handling Optional equipment shown. 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 460 sports a Variable Gear-Ratio Steering (VGRS) system that automatically varies the rack-and-pinion steering ratio for optimal maneuverability and control.
2008 LEXUS GS Control You never know what you’ll find around the next curve, which is why we developed the highly advanced Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) 4 system in the GS. Using a series of electronic sensors that can anticipate a loss of traction, rather than merely detect a loss of traction once it occurs, the system can apply a combination of individual wheel braking, throttle reduction and steering assistance to help you maintain traction, balance and control.
2008 LEXUS GS Interior Optional equipment shown. Majestic sunrises and sunsets are like nothing else in the world. The brilliant shades of orange and red. The flickering sun on the horizon. The glare. Yes, even meteorological wonders have their problems. Not that the driver of the GS would ever notice, mind you. Because the faces covering the instrument panel gauges in the GS are all part of a larger Electronic Chromatic Device (ECD) system.
2008 LEXUS GS Interior Lighting In a car like the GS, the driver’s seat is a destination in itself. Accordingly, it even comes with its own tour guide. Whatever corner of the world you travel to, the mark of a superior tour guide is the innate ability to identify which areas you’ll find of particular interest along your journey. The sequential lighting system inside the GS functions in much the same way.
2008 LEXUS GS DVD Navigation System with Backup Camera Not the type to ask for directions? Have your cell phone do it for you.

Utilizing 14 strategically placed speakers and a powerful 11-channel amplifier, this fully discrete 7.1-channel surround sound system was engineered to produce the purest sound available. Where, unlike typical 5.
2008 LEXUS GS Safety and Security With the GS, intuitive luxuries abound. Like available windshield wipers that automatically turn on when the system detects rain on the windshield and adjust their wiping speed to accommodate for the rate of rainfall. And tires that are individually equipped with sensors that continually monitor the tire pressure .12 Should there ever be a critical loss in pressure, an indicator light will alert the driver.
