Lexus - GS 450 - Sales Brochure - 2008 - 2008 (3)

2008 LEXUS GS Optional equipment shown. 2008 LEXUS GS Performance Optional equipment shown. The journey of a GS driver can follow multiple paths: the GS 350, GS 350 AWD and GS 460. While the paths vary slightly, the destination remains the same: pure, unbridled exhilaration. The GS 350 features dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i). By continually monitoring and adjusting the engine’s valves, the dual VVT-i system provides optimal power at all times to the driver. The GS 350 is propelled by a direct-injection, 303-horsepower,1 3.5-liter V6. The GS 460 features VVT-iE, with an additional intake function that responds more quickly and eliminates any effect cold weather may have upon starting the engine. And a 342-horsepower 1 4.6-liter V8 gives the GS 460 its 0-to-60 time of 5.4 seconds.1, 2 With so much power, it’s all the more appropriate that a “Start” button is used to ignite the engine. Because the less time you have to spend turning a key, the more time you’ll have to spend as you please. 1, 2 See page 18 for more information. 2 2008 LEXUS GS Performance (Continued) Optional equipment shown. The GS 460 sports an eight-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission, while the GS 350 is equipped with a six-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission. The additional gears in each of these high-performance sedans provide greater acceleration on demand and virtually seamless shifting. Both feature an Electronically Controlled Transmission with intelligence (ECT-i) that can learn your acceleration habits and adjust the shift-timing accordingly. And for those who prefer to have more command over their vehicle, the sequential-shifting feature enables you to manually shift gears by simply nudging the gear shift forward and backward. 3 2008 LEXUS GS Suspension & Handling Optional equipment shown. The journey of a GS driver seldom follows a straight line. Rather, in the mind of this driver—the more curves, the better. Which is precisely why the GS models include a multi-link rear suspension for responsive handling. And why the GS 460 sports a Variable Gear-Ratio Steering (VGRS) system that automatically varies the rack-and-pinion steering ratio for optimal maneuverability and control. And because every road—straight and curvy—must eventually end at some point, the GS comes equipped with an advanced braking system featuring front brake pads that yield a higher coefficient of friction. 3 Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), standard on the GS 460 and available on the GS 350, enables you to choose the Normal or Sport suspension setting to best fit your driving style. The all-wheel drive (AWD) GS 350 isn’t particular when it comes to devouring roads. AWD helps give added traction in many types of driving conditions. And, by allocating engine power to each individual wheel, it can help provide the GS greater grip in corners than two-wheel-drive performance sedans. 3 See page 18 for more information. 4 2008 LEXUS GS Control You never know what you’ll find around the next curve, which is why we developed the highly advanced Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) 4 system in the GS. Using a series of electronic sensors that can anticipate a loss of traction, rather than merely detect a loss of traction once it occurs, the system can apply a combination of individual wheel braking, throttle reduction and steering assistance to help you maintain traction, balance and control. Using a separate set of sensors, the available adaptive cruise control 5 can detect the speed of a vehicle traveling ahead and automatically decelerate to maintain a pre-set following distance. Fully anticipating that the GS driver will likely spend as much time as possible on curvy roads, the GS is available with an Adaptive Front Lighting System Optional equipment shown. (AFS).* To help illuminate more of the road around a curve, the headlamps rotate into the turn. In a left turn, the left headlamp will pivot up to 15 degrees and in a right turn, the right headlamp will pivot up to five degrees. Even those who tend to keep their pedal firmly planted downward have to stop and reverse now and then. So, for those select few times, the GS is made available with a backup camera.6 Included with the available DVD Navigation System,7 the backup camera 6 uses a tiny lens at the rear of the vehicle to transmit a clear, wide-angle color image to your NAV screen the instant the GS is placed in reverse. By enabling you to see objects you otherwise might have missed, the camera helps provide greater assurance than mirrors alone. Because while reversing may be the last thing you want to do in a car like the GS, it’s the last thing we would ever ignore. For added assurance, the GS comes standard with side mirrors that automatically tilt down when the car is placed in reverse. A particularly useful feature when parallel parking or when there are low objects around you. *Standard on GS 460; available on GS 350. See page 18 for more information. 4, 5, 6, 7 5 2008 LEXUS GS Interior Optional equipment shown. Majestic sunrises and sunsets are like nothing else in the world. The brilliant shades of orange and red. The flickering sun on the horizon. The glare. Yes, even meteorological wonders have their problems. Not that the driver of the GS would ever notice, mind you. Because the faces covering the instrument panel gauges in the GS are all part of a larger Electronic Chromatic Device (ECD) system. The system is activated by a sensor in the rear window that detects the amount of light being projected into the cabin of the GS. In the case of a setting sun, for example, the faces automatically lower their transparency level to help reduce glare and maintain optimal visibility. When the vehicle is off, the ECD system is inactive and the faces are 100% transparent. When the vehicle is on and the ambient light level is low, the faces are 70% transparent. When the ECD system becomes activated by light entering the rear of the GS, the faces automatically reduce their transparency levels to as low as 30% to reduce glare. While anticipating your needs is one component of luxury, adapting to your personal preferences is just as important. Hence, features like dual-zone automatic climate control and heated, 10-way power-adjustable front seats with available internal ventilation. With Lexus Personalized Settings (LPS),8 you can tailor nearly 40 different options to your taste, from the automatic opening of the moonroof when you unlock the doors to the volume of the remote entry beeper. And what could be more personal than a car that detects its owner’s presence? With SmartAccess9 you can operate the door locks, open the trunk and start the ignition without ever taking the key out of your pocket. Sure it’s unconventional. But, then again, so are you. 8, 9 See page 18 for more information. 6 2008 LEXUS GS Interior Lighting In a car like the GS, the driver’s seat is a destination in itself. Accordingly, it even comes with its own tour guide. Whatever corner of the world you travel to, the mark of a superior tour guide is the innate ability to identify which areas you’ll find of particular interest along your journey. The sequential lighting system inside the GS functions in much the same way. Using a combination of its 18 lamps, the system sequentially illuminates different areas of the interior based upon where the driver will most likely need light during the entry process. From the first illumination of the puddle lamps before you even reach the door to the final illumination of the ignition button, the GS was designed to intuitively predict and assist you in every movement until the engine is started. Of course, where you go after Optional equipment shown. that is completely up to you. 7 2008 LEXUS GS DVD Navigation System with Backup Camera Not the type to ask for directions? Have your cell phone do it for you. For those hesitant to swallow their pride and ask for directions, the GS is available with a voice-activated DVD Navigation System 7 that, through the use of Bluetooth ® technology,10 can interact with your Lexus-compatible cell phone. So, should you not know a commercial location’s address or GPS coordinates to search by, the system can oftentimes search by simply importing the location’s phone number directly from your cell phone. You can even place a hands-free call through the system, notifying the expectant party that you’re on your way. And with nearly nine million preprogrammed points of interest, the system can assist with everything from guiding you to the nearest ATM location to recommending a seafood restaurant for dinner. And while the Navigation System 7 helps guide you forward, its screen also helps you move backward. An available backup camera 6 uses a tiny lens at the rear of the vehicle to transmit a wide-angle color image to your NAV Optional equipment shown. 6, 7, 10 See page 18 for more information. screen the instant you place the GS in reverse. 8 2008 LEXUS GS Mark Levinson® Audio System Optional equipment shown. There are hundreds of reasons to stop and explore the scenery. However, we’ve given you 7.1 reasons to keep driving. This was the motivation behind the available Mark Levinson® Premium Surround Sound Audio System11 in the GS. Utilizing 14 strategically placed speakers and a powerful 11-channel amplifier, this fully discrete 7.1-channel surround sound system was engineered to produce the purest sound available. Where, unlike typical 5.1-channel architecture, the “sweet spot” of sound encompasses all passenger-seating locations. So that, quite literally, every seat is the best seat in the house. 11 See page 18 for more information. 9 2008 LEXUS GS Safety and Security With the GS, intuitive luxuries abound. Like available windshield wipers that automatically turn on when the system detects rain on the windshield and adjust their wiping speed to accommodate for the rate of rainfall. And tires that are individually equipped with sensors that continually monitor the tire pressure .12 Should there ever be a critical loss in pressure, an indicator light will alert the driver. While liberal doses of exhilaration are doled out mile after mile, the safety of you and your passengers will always be a priority. Which is why the GS is made available with a Pre-Collision System (PCS).13 With PCS, a millimeter-wave radar system can calculate the distance and speed at which the GS is approaching an object and determine if a collision is imminent. If so, the system will automatically apply increased braking force once you step on the brakes, while simultaneously retracting the front seatbelts to help prepare the occupants. 12, 13 See page 18 for more information. Optional equipment shown. 10 2008 LEXUS GS Safety and Security (Continued) Optional equipment shown. 4, 14, 15 See page 18 for more information. The safety features of the GS can actually help prevent a collision. A system called Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) 4 can help control loss of traction during a turn. When a series of sensors detects a problem, the system uses a combination of individual-wheel braking, throttle activation and steering assistance to seamlessly correct the situation before a skid actually occurs. A technology called Brake Assist 14 can gauge how quickly and forcefully the driver steps on the brake pedal and if a panic stop situation is detected automatically apply additional braking power until the driver releases the pedal. Furthermore, in those rare instances when a collision does occur, front and rear crumple zones are designed to help manage the forces of the impact on the driver and the passengers. Vehicle shown with optional equipment. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) in the GS utilizes 10 airbags 15 strategically placed throughout the cabin. To help protect front and rear passengers in certain severe side-impact collisions, the GS models features full-length side curtain and front seatmounted side airbags, while rear passengers also benefit from rear-seat mounted side airbags, all of which come standard. And knee and frontal airbags can help provide additional protection to the driver and front passenger. The dual-stage front airbag system is designed to deploy at different speeds depending upon such variables as the severity of impact and the distance between the driver’s seat and the steering wheel. 11 2008 LEXUS GS Ownership Experience And now your journey is ready to begin.
