Highlights
- The attached Carfax vehicle history report shows no accidents or mileage discrepancies in this GS 400’s past. It also shows that it has been registered in California and Southern states since new.
- According to the window sticker provided in the gallery, notable factory equipment includes a power sunroof, leather upholstery, walnut interior trim, power-adjustable and heated front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
- A list of notable modifications reported by the seller is detailed below. Highlights include a TVS1900 supercharger system, a ZF 8HP automatic transmission, an IS-F Torsen limited-slip differential, and TEIN Flex Z 16-way adjustable coilover suspension.
- The second-generation GS injected "something wicked" — as per their advertising campaign — into the mid-size Lexus sedan thanks to its V8 engine option and decidedly more performance-oriented ride and handling. Lexus touted that it was the fastest automatic sedan in the world at the time of its release.
- Power comes from a supercharged 4.0-liter V8, rated at 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque in stock, naturally aspirated form. According to the dyno sheet pictured in the gallery, this Lexus now produces 398 horsepower and 371 lb-ft of torque at the wheels as a result of its modifications. Output is sent to the rear wheels through ZF 8-speed automatic transmission.
