The GS features an aggressive, contemporary exterior design complemented with luxury and performance. The GS 350 features a 3.5-liter V6 engine with dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) and both port and direct fuel injection. With 303 horsepower [1], the GS 350 is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 in 5.7 seconds [1] [2]. For even more power, the GS 460 comes equipped with a 4.6-liter V8 mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that results in smoother shifting and acceleration with improved fuel economy. Inside the cabin, the GS features rich perforated leather complemented by walnut or maple wood trim.

The GS 460 offers an available Active Power Stabilizer Suspension System. The system can preload the stabilizer bars, making them behave like thicker bars when cornering forces are high. When the vehicle straightens out, the bars return to their unloaded state, offering a compliant ride.
