The Lexus GS S160 was built from 1998 to 2005.
The GS, the most traded version: The second-generation Lexus GS represents Toyota's ambitious push into the European luxury sports sedan segment, directly challenging BMW's 5 Series on its home turf. Built on the Aristo platform but refined for global markets, the GS featured sophisticated multi-link suspension and available V8 power that delivered genuine performance credentials. The GS 430's 4.3-liter 3UZ-FE V8 produced 300 horsepower, while the GS 300 offered the proven 2JZ-GE inline-six. What sets this generation apart for collectors is its perfect storm of reliability, refinement, and relative rarity compared to German competitors. The clean, understated design by Italdesign has aged remarkably well, and finding unmolested examples becomes increasingly difficult. Early adopters of Lexus's sport sedan philosophy, these cars offer exceptional build quality and driving dynamics that many consider superior to contemporary Mercedes E-Class models, making them compelling alternatives for discerning collectors seeking Japanese luxury engineering.
