Lexus used many parts from the 350 in the 460. It came with the same heavy wheels, small brakes, small intake, and y pipe exhaust. It would have been way to sporty if they gave it lighter wheels, bbk, and dual intakes/ dual exhaust. They didn't want it to out shine the LS460 or upcoming ISF. Thankfully you can just change all of that!

I had a GS460 from 2019 to 2022 and put 50k miles on it in that time. Same transmission as the ISF and the TCU from the ISF drops right in for better shifts. I had a friend with a 3GS 450h and when we raced, he took me off the line but I reeled him in at the top of first gear and passed him in 2nd and never looked back. Bluetooth audio was added in 2010, but the 2010 and 2011 models are exceptionally rare so good luck finding one.

4:18 Fun fact: in the Middle East the 2nd gen IS had the same engine as the GS 300 but with port injection as a base engine in the IS 300 instead of the 2.5L V6 in the IS 250 which like the GS 300 engine had only direct injection and problems with csrbon buildup. The larger port injected engine had more power and torque and had fewer problems. The Middle East also got that engine in the GS 300. 3GR-FE > 3GR-FSE >> 4GR-FSE

[@BernonCars]

Ohh neat! So many nuances haha

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

5:32 another middle east fun fact: they got the 1UR-FE in the GS 460 instead of the 1UR-FSE. Apparently this was due to bad fuel quality which would rapidly wear the direct injectors, but at least it gave them the bigger displacement base 2IS, IS 300, not to be confused with the first gen IS 300.😅

The recession during that era and also Lexus making the 2GR-FSE so good with the GS350 I mean it was barely 180 lbs heavier than the IS350 it was plenty fast for most buyers.

That's me everytime I drive my 08 GS350 awd pure enjoyment not a 460 in terms of power but my 303hp and 277 torque from the mighty 2GR-FSE is also fun. Great video look out for my review of my own car soon sir .

[@BernonCars]

Right on man 😆

[@turbolq4]

The 2GR is more reliable than the 1UR engine. I've owned a 2013 ls460 and experienced the cooler leak under the intake manifold. They also have ultra brittle plastic connectors and high pressure injectors that like to disintegrate while you're trying to fix that coolant leak. For the small ish power difference in the GS I don't know that the 460 is really worth the trouble. The 430 is a better engine and there are more of them available.

[@air-headedaviator1805]

The days before turbocharged 6 cylinders took over for midsize cars. Most V8s in this class didn’t immediately suggest sports sedan, and many V6s of the day were approaching this engines exact power figures, however a premium engine option is all about desirability. Even in pedestrian cars it suggests a more special experience.

Yeah I agree! It's a shame how things are going

The 1UR in the LS460 has dual air intake filters versus what looks like a single intake based on what I can see in the video. I am sure they also tuned it in software to keep it below the specs of the flagship LS.

Such a shame that Lexus couldn’t figure out to shoehorn the dual intake system of the LS460 hence why it didn’t have the extra 40 HP. The lukewarm reviews it got from loyal GS users also killed the 4.6 engine little to zero gain from GS350.

The real question I have can u swap the ecu from the ls460 into the gs460 considering they both have the same engine and transmission. I’ve seen so many in the Lexus threads that people that owned the gs460 got the tcu from the ISF and plugged it into the gs460 making it shit faster/aggressive. In other terms making it more fun. So unless the gs460 and ls460 are identical to each other then in theory I think it can be done but if the ls460 has minor changes compared to the gs460 then maybe it can’t be done but it’s just a theory at the end of the day
