Top Gear reviewt de 2012 GS 450h

Top Gear Magazine heeft de volgende generatie Lexus GS 450h gereviewt. Hier een deel van wat ze van de auto vonden: (engels)

Lexus has thrown an almighty host of chassis tech at this car – from adaptive damping to an optional four-wheel steer system (which, like that in the Renault Laguna, turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction to the fronts at low speed to improve agility and tighten the turning circle, but turns the rears in the same direction as the rears at high speed for better stability) and the results are impressive.

The GS’s trademark body roll is controlled and you can push it much harder before it eventually succumbs to anguished tyre squeal. There’s little feedback from the steering – hardly unusual for this class of car – but the turn-in is far, far sharper than the current car’s. The most noticeable improvement is that the new GS, unlike its predecessor, doesn’t try to plough its nose into the road under heavy braking.
