Gs300

[donmar]

Hi all,

I would like to ask a question about GS300`s as I have only been with LEXUS for 2 years after a dear friend since departed, interduced me to LEXUS and I have never looked back from buying his GS300 mk2

The question is are all GS 300`s 24v or was it optional

[katana92_uk]

32v i think

32v i think

GS 430 is 32v. GS300 is 24v.

I can't see how a 6 cylinder engine could have 32 valves.

What exactly is the question? The GS300 has a 3ltr straight 6 with 24V (4 valves per cylinder right?) - I'm not entirely sure what the question is as the number of valves is not an optional extra like satnav would be for example

Agree with the above, the GS300 is a 24 valve as standard, with no other option.

That was the question I was not sure myself? I was just asking as for ford granada for example 3ltr as 12v or (24v which was a cosworth) and i was thinking LEXUS did the same kind of options 12v or 24v,so your saying 24v is standard

Ahh right, yes the GS300 only had one engine - Lexus have always gone for simplicity of choice, hence small engine choice, few trim levels and few optional extras :)

Entry level already being way up the scale compared to entry level on some other luxury brands, of course: :-)

Thank you eXOBex, as I said in my post I have only been with LEXUS for 2 years and wasnt sure about the engines and I know you cant conpaire LEXUS with other luxury cars as I have found out in 2 years of owning a LEXUS, I have driven and owned many cars over the years and LEXUS tops them all by far.

Anyway thanks for your answer and many thanks

Don
