The 2009 Lexus GS

The GS 350 and GS 460 exteriors feature a new sporty design. Styling includes wide stance of vehicle and a streamlined aerodynamic underbody, which gives an impressive 0.27 drag coefficient. Other features include HID headlamps and LED taillamps, exposed dual exhaust, water-repellent glass, and electrochromic mirrors.

Both the GS 350 and GS 460 are equipped with dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), which improves efficiency and acceleration. The system continuously monitors the engine's speed and load and then responds by adjusting the intake and exhaust valves to deliver optimum power and efficiency at any speed. The GS 460 also includes an Electronic intake valve control feature (VVT-iE), which improves responsiveness for all temperature conditions.

The Electronically Controlled Transmission with intelligence (ECT-i), provides the GS 350 enhanced fuel efficiency, smoother shift feel and better acceleration response. The ECT-i transmission learns your acceleration habits and adjusts the shifting timing accordingly. The sequential-shifting feature allows for a more interactive driving experience by allowing the driver to simply nudge the gearshift forward or backward to change gears

Standard on the GS 460 and available on GS 350 models, this advanced suspension system offers you the choice between a Normal or Sport setting. The system automatically senses the character of the road and constantly monitors your steering and braking movements, and then adjusts the shock absorbers to maintain your selected comfort or performance level. It also works in conjunction with the Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management System (VDIM) [3] to help enhance control.

In addition to a sportier appearance, the dual exhaust system allows the engine to breathe easier, resulting in better efficiency and improved performance.

While high-performance can often mean higher emissions, the GS 460 and GS 350 have been certified as Ultra-Low Emission Vehicles (ULEV II). For more information on emissions ratings, please visit www.epa.gov.

The available system equips the front and rear stabilizer bars with an actuator. Wheel-speed and steering-wheel-angle sensors send information to the system's Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which calculates how much force is needed to help keep the vehicle flat in a turn. The front and rear actuators then torque the stabilizer bars, thus increasing the vehicle's sway resistance. And since this is an electronic system, response time is shortened when compared to conventional hydraulic systems.

This advanced transmission has additional gears to match the optimal engine speed to road and driving conditions. This provides smoother shifting, better acceleration response and enhanced fuel efficiency. For those who desire a bit more control, the sequential-shift feature allows the driver to quickly shift gears by simply nudging the gear shift forward or backward.

This electronic system actively adjusts the steering response. Variable Gear-Ratio Steering (VGRS) optimizes the steering-gear ratio to driving conditions for easier low-speed maneuvering and increased high-speed responsiveness and stability. It also works in conjunction with the Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management System (VDIM) [3] to help enhance control.

The advanced braking system on the GS helps enhance handling during sport and daily driving. Ventilated disc brakes include Brake Assist [4], an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) to help enhance control during hard braking. Brake discs are ventilated for superior cooling performance. It also works in conjunction with the Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management System (VDIM) [3] to help enhance control. In addition, the GS 460 features an Electronically Controlled Braking (ECB) System to help provide exceptional braking control and power.
