Rx330driver Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Yay, i just got an monthly update from lexus. Guess what! THey are now releasing the GS350 (3.5 liter, 303 hp) Here is what they say exactly: "Introducing the new, incredibly powerful Lexus GS 350. The numbers speak volumes: 3.5-liter V6, 303 horsepower [1], 274 lb-ft of torque [1]. Numbers that translate into a potent experience at every green light, entrance ramp and passing lane. Complementing the faster-than-fast new GS 350 is an inspired available Lexus voice-activated DVD Navigation System [3] with Generation 5 software capable of not just recognizing more than 100 voice commands, but realizing the need to offer directions as quickly as the GS is fast." :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris6878 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 what is the cost, sounds awesome, got any pics Its already out in japan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpioli Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 The GS 350 has been discussed on another thread, but I thought I would start a thread especially for the GS-350. Not only will the GS 350 have more horsepower than the GS 300 (local dealer claims about 300 HP), but the gas mileage will improve too. Does anyone know when the GS 350 will be available? I was told it would be available sometime in August. Please post any information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexus411 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Actually date should be early Sept..306 HP... also receives the same brake pads the 430 has. Also will have Gen 5 nav.. shark fin antenna for satellite. The 430 will receive a VDIM shutooff switch... The best thing will be the new colors. Obsidian Black replaces the Black Onyx.

peterpioli Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 lexus411, What is the "VDIM shutooff switch." Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpioli Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I looked-up VDIM. "VDIM manages all dynamic functions including ABS, EBD, Brake Assist, TRAC and VSC, and provides cooperative control for the regenerative brakes and the electronic power steering (EPS) boost characteristics."

SKperformance Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Why start a new thread if the other one only pertains to one thing , the GS350 ? They are now merged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpioli Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 SKperformance, Sorry, I thought it made sense to call a thread about the GS 350 the "GS 350" thread, not "Lexus Persuit Email [june]" thread. For a car that will be available in the next couple of months, it's amazing how little information is available on the web about the GS 350. I did a Google search and can't find any official Lexus data on the GS 350. If anyone finds official Lexus details, please post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
