1998 Lexus GS Series Test Drive – Import Car of the Year

A Lexus with muscle car performance? The brand new for 1998 GS Series was designed to appeal to BMW 540i and Cadillac STS shoppers. Styled without the legendary Italian stylist Giugiaro’s help, the completely reengineered car’s strong performance slant defines the two model GS series. the G 300 had a 3.0 225hp inline six with highly advanced variable valve timing that sharply improved acceleration and fuel economy. The GS400 shared the same valve concept, incorporating it into a mouth watering 4.0L/300 hp V8 that propelled the car to 60 in just 5.7 highly stimulating seconds.
