2013 Lexus GS Goes Official

Some of you have probably been waiting for Lexus to unveil the 2013 GS for months now. It finally happened at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and I must say that it is one of the best looking cars of this year.

The Japanese automaker said that the car was developed in order to be contemporary and spacious, and as we can see from these official photos, it borrows the sporty design that we’ve seen in the LF-Gh concept at the New York Auto Show. It will come with a “spindle” front grille, LED-infused headlights, while at the back it will have a diffuser and a dual exhaust system.

The interior of the 2013 Lexus GS will be very luxurious, featuring seats wrapped around in leather, ambient lightning, a wood trim and an analogue clock. Aside from these, the car will get an 8-inch infotainment display as standard while the cars fitted with the navigation package will benefit from a bigger 12.3-inch display. Aside from this, it will feature an energy-saving climate control system as well as an optional Mark Levinson audio system with 17 speakers.

Lexus will offer three engines for the 2013 GS, but the specifications have not been mentioned yet. What we do know is that the choices will be a 2.5-liter, a bigger 3.5-liter and a greener hybridized 3.5-liter power unit. The car will ride on an updated platform that features a wider track as well as a new multi-link rear suspension.

Sales are expected to commence at the beginning of 2012. Stay tuned for more information about the engines and the price tag.
