History Lexus GS / Lexus Jies

Premiere Lexus GS 300 took place in January 1993. The first generation was a GS 300 sedan with a rear wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic transmission. Suspension on the front wheels - independent with double transverse levers, on the rear - multi-dimensional with the stabilizer transverse stability. Disc brakes ventilated.

In the role of the main driving force, a longitudinally located gasoline 24-valve engine with a distributed fuel injection of 3 liters with a capacity of 212 hp Maximum speed 230 km / h. Fuel consumption in the city will be 14 liters.

Four years later, a new GS300 has already been blocked at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The LEXUS GS Design of the second generation was designed by the famous Atelier of Italdesign Gorgetto Giugiaro. The exterior of the car turned out quite distinctive due to the combination of European "four-chapters" and the Asian irregular form of headlights and severe back. At first, Lexus GS was equipped with only a three-liter engine, but from 1997 another four-liter engine is installed on the car. Depending on the engine, the name of the car varies: Lexus GS 300 and Lexus GS 400.

For example, Lexus GS 400 is equipped with an electronic injection engine of gasoline, a V-shaped, an eight-cylinder, 32-valve, with a volume of 4 liters, with a capacity of 294 liters. from. The electronic fuel injection system made it possible to reduce fuel consumption to 10.2 / 13.8 liters per 100 km of mileage. Paired with a five-speed automatic box lexus gear GS 400 shows excellent dynamics. From space up to 100 km, the car accelerates for 5.7 s. Maximum speed of 250 km / h.

Lexus GS 400 suspension was adjusted for a sporty driving type. Note that the transmission control is carried out using the keys under the steering wheel, as on the modern Ferrari Modena. In front and rearranged stabilizers of transverse stability, stand on all wheels disc brakes With ABS. IN standard complete set Control system, steering with a hydraulic switch and parking system.

The interior of Lexus GS400 is saturated with technical innovations. Onboard laptop, navigation system, separate for the front and reverse air conditioning system, heated seats are standardized. Plus, at the request of the leather insanity of the cabin.

LEXUS GS300 engine with electronic gasoline injection, six-cylinder, 24-valve, 3 l. With a capacity of 228 liters. from. Capable to overclock the car up to 230 km / h. "Hundred" GS 300 is gaining in 8.2 seconds.

In 1998, the new generation of Lexus GS with the prefix 430 comes. New car It looks aggressively, but elegant. Often Lexus is positioned as a means of movement, which is not alien to the sports spirit.

Set technical Equipment Above all expectations. Full electric xenon headlights, ABS with EBD brake force distribution system, amplifier emergency braking EBA, TRC Anti Personal System, VSC Stabilization System, Skin and Natural Tree Stabilization, Plus Electrochromatic (self-implancing anti-reflective) rearview mirrors. The automatic mode of inclusion of external lighting at twilight, the central lock of the double action (on the first stage only the driver's door opens) with alarms and electronic immobilizer, automatic adjustment of the beam headlights, moving when the driver's seat and the steering column is turned off.

Climate control is separated for the driver and passengers today for many perceived as proper, but Lexus experts went further. If the air overboard is very dirty or smoke, the special system itself switches climatic installation to recirculation mode. Nakamichi audio system with CD changer on 6 disks and a system of automatic sound level, adjusts it depending on the external noise. Moreover, climate control, and the audio system, and navigation are controlled by touching the finger to the corresponding icon on a multifunctional 17.5-centimeter display in the middle of the central console.

Salon decanted luxuriously. Excellent leather seats and large finishing inserts over side armrests. High-quality front panel plastic and door facing. Wooden finish looks rich and adds respectfulness to the interior. Everything here has been brought to perfection, distinctive trait Luxury cars. Purchase in the cabin enough. However, the car is clearly focused on four people, including the driver. The rear sofa is molded for two, and a high central tunnel, the need for a drive to the rear wheels is dictated to the rear wheels, it will not even allow the third passenger with minimal amenities (despite the presence of a separate head restraint for it).

Under the hood is a powerful 4.3 l-liter) of a capacity of 284 hp Against 294 hp GS 400. But seriously talk about deterioration traction characteristics In the help of economy and environmentally friendly. Ten lost "horses" are compensated by turns on which the maximum power is achieved - 5600 against 6000 and, most importantly, the maximum torque that has become above again on more low revolutions. In addition to the already known system for changing the phases of gas distribution VVT-IB Engine GS 430 applied changeable geometry The intake tract that helps to significantly improve the torque, especially on the "Nizakh". As well as the ETSC-I complex, which is essentially managing the position throttle valve Depending on the drive conditions of the car. This system tracks the change in speed with a constant position of the gas pedal, for example, when driving under a slope. Or, on the contrary, when the speed falls on the rise provides a smooth increase in speed without transition to lower transmissions.

The magnificent five-speed "automaton" has all possible modes of highlighting limitations: 4, 3, 2, L. There is a kikdown and sports mode. Kikdown adds little speakers, but the sport mode significantly increases the responsiveness of the box. The coefficient of the aerodynamic resistance of the CX is only 0.29 from this car.

The suspension and steering GS430 have been subjected to some revision. Reinforced transverse stability stabilizers appeared, low pressure gas shock absorbers. The suspension geometry is also designed to prevent the so-called yoke and squats.

The picture is completed with powerful 17-inch wheels with waste low-profile tires 235/45 on cast discs.

In 2005, a new generation of Lexus GS is published. Elegant body lines here are harmoniously combined with the ergonomic salon and luxury finishes. The novelty body on a 2.5-centimeter is longer than the predecessor (length is now 4.82 meters) is a solid monolith with elegant lines. The characteristic solution of the front of the body with the four headlight headlights and the branded grille of the radiator immediately suggest that this is a real Lexus. GS430 began to look much muscular and more dynamic thanks to the changed form of the front headlights, rounded outlines of the body, massive bumpers and the cabin shifted back. A rather eccentric roof line gave a sedan a more sporty look.

The GS front headlights use Intelligent Adaptive Forward-Lighting technology. The power and direction of the light beam varies depending on the rotation of the steering wheel, thereby helping the driver as it should look over the turn.

The GS salon has become a little spacious due to an increase in the wheelbase of the machine for 5 cm. Special attention, as it is supposed to make cars of this class, the creators paid to the interior and facilities of passengers. To their services - comfortable seats with excellent side support, optional climate control system and a regular audio system with ten speakers.

For convenience, the driver created a smart access / output system and start a car without using the key. In order to get inside, it is enough to touch with a handle to the door handle. The lock will automatically open if the keychain lies with you in your pocket. The motor is started by simply pressing the button on the center console. Parking a car equipped with a rear view camera, a signal from which is projected onto the monitor on the console, one pleasure. The camera is offered as an option for an additional fee along with navigation system.

Technically Lexus GS largely repeats the model of the previous generation. Layout is classic, drive to rear wheels. But in order not to give up to competitors (MercedEse-classes BMW 5-series) GS got active suspensioncapable of changing the hardness of work depending on the conditions of movement. There are also two standard modes: a comfortable and sporty.

Gamma engines is represented by 4.3 liter V8 with a capacity of 300 hp or new 3-liter V6 with a capacity of 242 hp Both motors are complemented by a new six-speed sequential automatic gearbox. Adaptive suspension adjusts to the conditions of the road. Four-wheel drive Available only for machines with a 3-liter engine.

Lexus cars have always been famous for their security, the GS of the new generation did not except in this regard. It is equipped with the control system of Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM), which helps to cope with any vigors and provides a stable movement. In addition, the new GS will receive the SystemPre-CrashSafety (PCS) with a radar, which in the case of a possible accident optimizes the operation brake system And stretches seat belts.

The standard package includes adaptive front and lateral airbags, as well as airbags that protect the legs and knees of the front passengers. These cushions are sewn at the bottom of the front panel and are revealed simultaneously with the main front pillows, reducing the risk of injury to the steering column and the front panel. In addition, they help protect their heads and chest, preventing the passenger diving under the seat belt at a strong impact.

The car is offered in several configurations: GS300 (Standart, Executive, Luxury) and GS430 (Executive, Luxury).

In 2008, the Japanese conducted a light upgrade, during which, instead of the GS 430 version, GS 460 appeared. "Four hundred and sixtieth" was equipped with a new "eight" 4.6 with direct injection From the LEXUS LS 460 sedan. "Heart", in the asset was 342 "Horses" and 460 Newton meters, worked in a pair with an eight-step automatic transmission. But I surprised GS not only by this - in the list of equipment there was a radar cruise control, a preventive security system that can independently stop the car, electronically controlled shock absorbers, steering with a variable gear ratio. Clients were also available with full-wheel drive.

The fourth generation Lexus GS was represented on the Motor Showvo Frankfurt in 2011. The novelty is built on an upgraded platform with extended, compared with the predecessor, a 40 mm in front of a 50 mm - rear. The length remained the same 4850 mm (the front skell was shortened by 10 mm, and the rear lengthened by 10 mm). The height increased by 30 mm (1470 mm), the width is 20 mm (1840 mm). The wheelbase remained the same - 2850 mm. In Russia and Europe, the car is presented in three modifications: GS - all-wheel drive 350 AWD, rear-wheel drive GS 250 and GS 450H hybrid.

New design design is made in the style of the LEXUS LF-GH concept. Compared to the predecessor, GS 2012 began to look more sporty and tightened. The outline of the new radiator lattice is associated with the shape of the hourglass. The lower part of the lattice smoothly flows into the bumper, where a huge central air intake is located. Another, no less important change is the rejection of double headlights, instead of them are monoblocks decorated with LED garlands. Light-headlights, which are able to "peek" in turn, can be in two versions. Biksenon is put on the gasoline versions, the main difference is a large projector of distant and near light. The hybrid sedan has anterior headlights with three LEDs, for the first time on LEXUS cars, build a turn signal and LED headlights of near and far light into one horizontal range. True, such headlights are available only in Luxury and F Sport Luxury. In both cases, the Farra is integrated with an imaging of LED daytime running lights.

The profile, in comparison with the third generation, has become even more assembled and taut. Visually, the hood line and front sinks have become somewhat shorter. Thresholds and second row of doors now have more interesting bends. The rear lights still bold the borders of the wings, while observing the balance of the harmony of common entourage. The aerodynamic resistance coefficient is reduced to 0.26 CX. Divorced pipes exhaust system, Gasoline versions are integrated into the bumper. The design of the rear bumper of the hybrid closes the holes of the exhaust pipes.

Interior Lexus GS 2012 has become even more luxurious. Convenient seats have countless adjustments. Chair decoration I. door panels Available in six color variations: ivory colors, light brown, dark brown, gray, pomegranate and black. Inserts from a natural veneer are actively used in the interior trim, the hybrid version is distinguished by bamboo inserts.

The central console does not have clear boundaries and protrusions, it is allocated only by characteristic elements. At the very top, in a special recess, there is a touchscreen display of the multimedia system with a diagonal eight inches (12.3 inches in the version with a navigation package). Under the START / STOP button, electromechanical control keys hid parking brake With the autoblock function. The sedan is equipped with an energy-saving climate control system, automatically recognizing the presence or absence of passengers, analog clock on the center console and the Mark Levinson audio system with 17 speakers available as an option. A wide central tunnel, also carved by a tree, has already become the topics of the visiting card. It is located the Remote Touch controller, which controls the multimedia system, the gearbox selector, as well as the motion mode selection (Drive Mode SELECT).

Unfortunately, the second row is not folded, but in the trunk there is a special hatcher that allows you to transport thin long things. In the usual GS trunk increased to 564 liters, thanks to the new design rear suspension. The trunk of the hybrid is much more modest - 482 liters.
