The fastest GS450h is the one shown here, the pre-facelift 3rd gen.

@@georgipopov8989 don't think I've seen any evidence that the EU-spec 3rd gen is faster than the 4th gen. US and JDM 3rd gens have a shorter final drive (3.769 vs 3.266). Supposedly the 3rd gen is also limited to 250... supposedly.

ich weiss noch einmal wo ich irgendwo in Deutschland war, überholte mich ein 2007er GS. Ich mit meinem 2012er GS hinterher, ging locker, haben ja die gleichen Antriebe mit gleicher Leistung... Allerdings war bei mir bei 250kmh schluss und der 2007er war weg. Buuhuuuhuhuhuu.

gotta get me one of those. the new 500h cuts electricity at 200 km/h - dead slow after that... and funny enough, it does also use more fuel than the last iteration of the 450h. more complicated also... not very lexus-y...

Der geht ab 200 besser als meiner ab 100🙊. Und das mit 200.000 km.

I fell in love with German Suv's of Mercedes and Audi's bcs of the beauty from the inside and outside. Not to mention their nice driving style which is guaranteed 200 km per hour. But sadly they need maintence after a while which is quiet expensive. But the Japanese cars like this nice Lexus and Mazda Cx 5 for example are not as good as those German cars but when it comes to Maintence the Japanese cars are winners like cheap costs and longer health before maintence

Any tips for buying one? I've found 2007 with not much history but it appears ok. Battery health good at 93 percent but high mileage...lower price than average..

Typical problems for a GS is worn out suspension. Check, if the dampers are leaking oil. The replacement is quite expensive.

What happens when you press the kick down button under the accelerator pedal? Does it rev higher?

@LboroWick

You have to kick down to get full 250kW. If not it sticks between 150-200 kW with lower noise and more relaxed acceleration

is the CVT sound that noisy? if you play music on low volume, can you still hear it work ?

@@igorv4631 not the best decision, due to the transmission valve body problem . ( 7 speed automatic) It is an expensive component and in most cases you need to order it from a foreign country like UK or US. A friend of mine loves his Q50s (in general an excellent car, no doubts, it has power, comfort and reliability, when maintained, but it suffers from problems, like the transmission!) , but this transmission costed more than 1 k Euros to repair . (Luckily he bought an unit on ebay for 450 euros and knows some good mechanics in our area) .
