2012 Lexus GS teased [video]

Debuts on August 18th

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is less than a month away and Lexus has just released a new teaser video of the 2012/2013 GS 350.

Drawing inspiration from the LF-Gh concept, the production model will have an "emotional design" with a distinctive grille and a number of styling attributes that will carry over to future Lexus models. Inside, the cabin will feature leather upholstery, high quality materials and a 12.3-inch infotainment system.

Engine options remain a bit of a mystery, but choices are slated to include a 3.5-liter V6, a hybridized 3.5-liter V6 and possibly a four-cylinder diesel (for Europe).

show/hide press release

Automotive journalists test the all-new GS ahead of its official launch.

Swathed in detail-obscuring covers to protect its identity, pre-production versions of the next generation GS were test-driven by a select group of top European journalists - no fanfare, no publicity, just the drive and the experience. Inspired by the dynamic LF-Gh concept, this car is poised to be the new face of Lexus.

Participants drove the new GS in testing conditions at an exclusive proving-ground. Chief Engineer, Yoshihiko Kanamori was in attendance from Japan to gather valuable feedback. The journalists enjoyed the luxurious and spacious interior and were able to test the dynamic and engaging handling characteristics to the full. Although disguised, these trusted correspondents were able to get a taste for the soon-to-be-unveiled styling. This new chapter in the history of Lexus will be revealed at Pebble Beach, California on 18th August 2011.

shd be pretty good looking like all Lexus, but overall it will be bland, and handling will be as well. But what can i say, they do sell a lot of those because of the comfort and reliability.

alamak. you know people like you are very annoying. You haven't even seen the car yet or read any reviews but you're jumping to conclusions, very judgmental. You should be ashamed of yourself. Wait for the car to come out next month before you write down your opinion will you.
