Toyota will display the next-generation GS 450h, the upcoming GS hybrid model created to exemplify the future direction of Lexus vehicles, at the 2011 Frankfurt International Motor Show from Sept 15 to 25.
The new GS 450h employs a newly developed 3.5-liter V6 engine and a completely updated hybrid system. As a pioneer of rear-wheel-drive hybrid sedans, the GS 450h combines high power with exceptional economic performance on an unprecedented level.
The GS 450h not only provides dynamic driving with effortlessly smooth and extraordinarily swift performance that rivals a V8 gasoline engine, it is also projected to achieve fuel efficiency at the highest levels of its class1 with CO2 emissions of just 145 g/km or less (EU combined mode), marking further advancement in leading-edge hybrid technology by Lexus.
In addition, the signature spindle grille combines the Lexus-unique inverted trapezoidal upper grille and a trapezoidal lower grille to create a form that makes use of improved airflow and cooling and represents next-generation Lexus front-end design. The completely redesigned platform and suspension is based on the same framework as the new GS 350, and with a revised hybrid battery layout resulting in a substantially larger cargo space, the GS 450h provides the same high utility as the gasoline-engine model.

This Lexus GS450h is overpriced, underperforming, generic looking car. Doesn't do anything well. This car is a crap compared to similar price Audi S4, BMW 335I. The better choice would be to buy a Camry with V6 and save $15K of your money.
