Overview
Two letters give you a spirited luxury performance sedan providing the perfect blend of bold styling and advanced technology. The 2008 Lexus GS. With slingshot-shaped windows and sharper lines the GS has the ideal look to complement its high-performance nature. The LS purrs with a 342-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 engine which can go from 0 to 60 in a mere 5.4 seconds. And the 303-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine gives the GS 350 its thrust while port and direct injection increases power and lowers emissions. Step inside and you are greeted by A unique sequential lighting system illuminates your way from the door handle to the ignition button. And the available navigation system understands over 100 voice commands and can direct you to your destination quickly and easily. The GS has so many things to offer. The Pre Collision system can detect when a frontal collision is imminent then take measures to help reduce impact damage. But if the unavoidable happens rest assured by a sophisticated network of sensors and 10 airbags [1] help protect you and your passengers from frontal and side impacts. The 2008 Lexus GS. The high speed pursuit of Perfection.
