Introduced in the early 1990s, the midsize GS series was Lexus' first attempt to build a sport-oriented luxury sedan. While the first-generation model didn't win much critical acclaim, successive redesigns put the GS much closer to its European rivals.
The V8-powered Lexus GS 430 debuted midway through the model's second generation. It was known for its balanced approach to luxury and performance and also benefited from Lexus' reputation for reliability. The 430 moniker was also used briefly for the third-generation GS.
