8 SPEED AUTOMATIC

Lexus developed the world’s first 8-speed automatic transmission for the LS 460. It proved so popular in this award-winning model, Lexus is now specifying this 8-speed automatic in the new GS 460.

This groundbreaking transmission provides the best of both worlds, capable of delivering rapid acceleration yet returning good fuel economy.

The 8-speed gearbox is light and compact and its new hydraulic control technology provides an extremely smooth shift feel. Leading-edge technology ensures multiple gearshift capability, rather than the conventional single ratio change at a time, which optimises torque transfer in all conditions. Not only is the gearshift smooth, it’s also extremely rapid.
