GS 460 Performance - Seemingly unlimited power, with seamless acceleration.

4.6-Litre Dual VVT-i V8 Engine

The power of a 4.6 litre, 32 valve V8 delivers 255kW for true grand sport performance. This engine features dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) which optimises valve timing, enhanced by electric motor driven VVT-iE on the intake cams - a world’s first. Direct and port injection, and an Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS) further boost engine efficiency for increased power and fuel economy while reducing emissions.

Sequential 8-speed automatic

This is the world’s first 8-speed transmission in a mid sized luxury sedan. It gives you the ratios you need for crisp response, safer overtaking and for accelerating strongly out of tight corners. It even benefits fuel economy. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Shift Control thinks ahead, selecting the right gear on hills to minimise up-shifting and down shifting. Then in sequential shifting mode, you’ve the performance driving dynamics of a manual.

The confidence of Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management

Should you encounter challenging road conditions, an advanced Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system offers a greater sense of control. It integrates the braking, throttle and steering controls, for enhanced drivability.

Fingertip control with Electric Power Steering

For improved steering efficiency when parking, plus greater road feel at high speeds, the GS is equipped with Electric Power Steering. This system dispenses with hydraulic hoses and pumps and only uses energy when turning, which improves fuel economy. In addition, Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS)helps produce excellent handling and drivability by adjusting the steering response according to vehicle speed.

Comfort and control with Adaptive Variable Suspension

For a more stimulating drive, you can fine-tune suspension damping settings to 'Normal' for everyday driving situations, or to 'Sport' for superior handling and stability, whilst maintaining superb ride comfort. All at the touch of a button.
