Lexus releases New GS350/460 for S.Korea

Toyota Korea Sales announced the facelifted Lexus GS350 and the GS460 today for the South Korean market. Facing immense success in the market, Lexus plans to commence sales of the New GS on the 26th of this month across 9 Lexus dealerships in the country.

The big change of the New GS is the addition of the 4.6L V8 347 horsepower engine into the V8 model. Gone is the GS430 moniker and in is the GS460 badge that reflects on the car's impressive powertrain. The GS460 is also mated to a class-leading 8-speed automatic transmission that is also found in the flagship LS460. Minor changes are made to the exterior including new wheels and a L-Finesse front fascia.

Prices have been upped for both the V6 and the V8 model. The New GS350 starts at 73.1 million won, equivalent to $80,030 in American currency. The New GS460 retails for 81.3 million won, equivalent to $89,008 in US currency.
