Uprated 'Lexi'

Alan Partridge take note...



Lexus have beefed up their GS series with the introduction of the GS300 and GS430 Sport models, unique to the UK market.

Modified springs and shock absorbers and more robust anti-roll bars have been supplied by the company’s motorsport division, to give a more sporting handling performance. With the suspension revisions, the Sport models sit 20mm lower than the current SE models. They ride on new 18-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels fitted with 245/40 ZR18 tyres.

The new cars are also distinguished by styling features, including a mesh finish for the front grille, deep front air dam and a rear spoiler on the GS430 and rear lip spoiler on the GS300.

Power output is the same as current models with the 430 pumping out 279bhp from it's 4.3 litre V8 whilst the 300 makes do with 216bhp from a straight six.

The GS430 Sport is available from 1 July, priced at £39,995 on the road. The GS300 will follow from 10 July, priced at £34,995 on the road.
