Lexus GS 350 Performance Overview

Positioned as Lexus’s naturally aspirated midsize sport sedan, the GS 350 is represented here across 9 verified tests spanning 2007 to 2017. In S190 form (2007–2011), performance centered on the 303-hp 2GR-FSE V6 and rear-drive sedan configuration, establishing the model’s quickest recorded launch early on: the 2007 Sedan reached 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and covered the quarter-mile in 13.8 seconds at 101.8 mph. That initial third-generation sample set the pace for the nameplate in this dataset, with an S190 average of 5.45 seconds to 60 mph.

The L10 generation, introduced for 2013, kept the GS 350 on gasoline, naturally aspirated V6 power while output edged up from 306 to 311 hp through the 2GR-FSE and later 2GR-FKS. Early fourth-generation testing nearly matched the prior best, with the 2013 F Sport posting 5.4 seconds to 60 mph, while later examples clustered slightly higher: a 2014 Sedan ran 5.6 seconds, a 2015 F Sport ran 5.5 seconds, and the 2017 F Sport recorded 5.9 seconds. As tested here, the GS 350 finished its run as a consistently mid-five-second sedan, averaging 5.57 seconds to 60 mph and 14.13 seconds in the quarter-mile.
