The Lexus GS is a series of mid-size luxury sports sedans / executive cars sold by Lexus since 1993. Designed to fill the gap between the ES and LS, and to provide Lexus with a performance sedan to compete in the mid-luxury class, three generations of the GS have been produced to date. The first incarnation of the GS was introduced in 1993 in the United States, Europe and selected markets in Asia. The second generation model premiered in 1998, using a new platform and adding a V8 version for the first time outside Japan. The 2000 model facelift, first sold in the 2001 model year in North America, was the only year with any major changes in the second generation GS. New clear tail lights with turn signal indicators were added to the trunk area, as well as a slightly revised grille and very subtly tinted headlights on the front end. Xenon high-intensity discharge headlights were now standard on the V8 and optional on the I6. Inside, more wood trim was added, and steering wheel shift buttons were now also featured on the GS 300. The V8 engine also received a 0.3-liter bump in displacement and the model was renamed GS 430 . Peak horsepower was unchanged, but torque increased to 325 lb·ft
In 2001, Lexus also added a limited production GS 300 "SportDesign" edition, featuring the sport suspension from the GS 430, wider 225/55VR-16 Michelin Pilot HX tires, and polished alloy wheels. The SportDesign interior added perforated leather upholstery along with brushed aluminum and dark stained walnut trim. For summer 2001, production of the GS 300 SportDesign was limited to a run of 3,300 units (vs. 25,000 annual GS sales annually). Production of the limited model occurred through 2004.
This exceptional low mile example has been pampered and babied since new and runs and drives without fault. Everything works and the car excellerates with authority and handles like its on rails. Lexus is famous for its quiet and smooth ride and this car perfectly goes down the road without a hint of noise when the windows are up. The car is completekly loaded with all the modern goodies Navigation, Bluetooth, I Pod connection, DVD player, and more. The car has always been serviced at the dealer and is up to date in that regard. Never smoked in, never wrecked, the car is pretty much as new.
