The NEW 2013 Lexus GS350 First Look!!!!

Under the hood, the 2013 GS 350 features the same 3.5-liter V-6 as the 2011 model, but with a slight power bump to 306 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque. It remains mated exclusively to a six-speed automatic gearbox in rear-drive or all-wheel-drive configurations. Lexus claims a 0-60 mph time of around 5.7 seconds, which is just as fast as the current-generation GS. The electronically limited top speed gets a slight bump up to 142 mph, from 140 mph. Two other GS models will be unveiled by the time the 350 hits dealer showrooms in early 2012 — a Hybrid, and an F-Sport. The Hybrid, which will be revealed at the upcoming Frankfurt auto show, is likely to retain the powertrain of the 2011 GS 450h, and Lexus released a teaser of photo a model bearing that name. The F-Sport will feature the same engine as the regular GS 350 but with 19-inch wheels, sticky tires, bigger brakes, variable-rate steering, and an adaptive suspension.
