We are less than 48 hours away from Lexus’ world premiere of the new generation of its premium mid-size sedan, the 2013 GS, but China’s Autohome news site has nabbed the most revealing shots of the car to date.
Essentially, the only parts of the 2013 GS that are covered are the front and rear Lexus logos. The car pictured here sports the GS 350 AWD badge at the rear, which means it is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 petrol engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that transfers power to all four wheels.
While the GS seen in these pictures could be the China market version, don’t expect any significant differences from the North American specification model that will be shown at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California on Thursday, August 18th.
The photos suggest that Lexus has kept close to the the LF-Gh Hybrid concept study displayed at this year’s New York Auto Show, though admittedly, the end result does look a lot like a grown up IS.
We’ll have more on the new GS shortly.
