While not an all-out performance car, the GS ain't no slouch either. Both the GS and GS F Sport get some naturally-aspirated V6 goodness under the hood, as well as a rear-wheel or all-wheel drivetrain, and the F Sport will sprint to sixty in a manufacturer-claimed 5.7 seconds in RWD guise. That's plenty quick, but German rivals such as the Audi A6 will beat that time by almost a second. Out in the real world, the GS pulls along with real verve, and you never feel like you have to strain the car to get up to speed. The well-insulated cabin helps with this. Pushing it on the highway reveals a car that has more than enough power to surge past slower driving vehicles, but you'll have to make the engine sing to get all the power, something that's not an issue for turbocharged rivals. For those who aren't looking for an out-and-out sports sedan, the GS offers plenty.2020 GS Performance Photos
Lexus Lexus LexusEngine and Transmission
Both the GS and GS F Sport are powered by the same 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6, which features four camshafts, four valves per cylinder, and intelligent dual variable valve timing to produce a total of 311 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed Sport Direct-Shift automatic with paddle shifters. For AWD cars, the transmission is replaced with a six-speed automatic. The GS delivers seamless power, but to access the maximum amount of power, you'll need to stomp on the gas pedal and see the revs skyrocketing to the redline. Competitors such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series offer turbo power, which in turn delivers waves of torque from almost anywhere in the rev range, making the daily grind that much more comfortable, while in the GS, you've got to work hard for performance that is rather underwhelming.2020 Lexus GS Performance Specs
