Default LF-S Lexus Future Sedan GS





Four-wheel drive will be available for the first time, too, and a choice of a 235bhp 3.3-litre V6 and 320bhp 4.3-litre V8 power will be offered. The first engine is borrowed from the RX off-roader, while the eight-pot is carried over from today’s GS430.

Autocar sources have confirmed that a new M5-fighter is in the pipeline. The hot GS is tipped to use a 360bhp 5.0-litre V8 and is due in 2006

only 360hp out of a 5.0 liter V8? That sounds awfully weak for a M5 fighter, considering that couldn't even beat the E39 M5s. What a M5 fighting GS needs is a 3.0 liter, VVTi twin turbo tuned to 600hp

According to the article, this is a new model. Not the GS, but " will heavily influence the new GS.

That seems to have "audi" written all over it in the body style. i expect more from lexus than to follow someone elses lead after all the years of being the first to do everything.

And according to another member who allegedly has inside info on the MKIII GS/ Aristo, the Quad headlight design has been retained.. this car clearly does not have it..

I dunno if its just me or what but from those two different views of the front and the side, it doesn't seem like they would fit together very nicely to make a car. To me they look like two different styles altogether. The front reminds me fo that damn HPX concept. Why won't that thing just die???
