The outstanding performance of the GS 450h is due to the combination of a 3.5 litre V6 direct-injection petrol engine and a high-output 147 kW electric motor.
Accelerating from 0 – 100 km/h in under six seconds, and effortlessly smooth, the GS 450h is impressively powerful.
Even when driving at speed, the power available to the driver can propel the car from 85 km/h to 120 km/h is less than five seconds. In order the achieve this, the electric motor supplements the petrol engine to give a seamless surge of acceleration.
Consuming fuel equivalent to a 4-cylinder 2.0 litre vehicle (7.91/100km in the combined cycle) and CO2 emissions of just 179/km, the GS is truly remarkable. And, when starting up or driving at low speeds, there are no emissions at all as the car is powered solely by the electric motor.
