2006 Lexus GS
Lexus' new GS 300 and GS 430 will be released in the US in March 2005. The GS 300 will come with a 245 hp 3.0L V6 engine, while the GS 430 will come with a 300 hp 4.3L V8 engine. Both models will come with a 6-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission.
The GS 300 has both a rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive option. The GS 430 only has the rear-wheel-drive option. It almost seems backwards, since the GS 430 is the high-end model with the more power, which would really need the AWD. Maybe in the future...
GS 300 specs:
engine: 3.0L V6 24-valves with VVT-i on intake and exhaust valves
transmission: 6-speed sequential-shift automatic
power: 245 hp @ 6,200 rpm
torque: 230 lb-ft @ 3,600 rpm
GS 430 specs:
engine: 4.3L V8 32-valves with VVT-i on intake valves
transmission: 6-speed sequential-shift automatic
power: 300 hp @ 5,600 rpm
torque: 325 lb-ft @ 3,400 rpm
