What is the 0-60 on a 2013 Lexus GS 350?
The 0-60 mph time for the 2013 Lexus GS 350 is typically around the mid to high 5 seconds for rear-wheel-drive versions and about 6.0 to 6.4 seconds for all-wheel-drive variants. In short, RWD is usually around 5.9 seconds, while AWD tends to be in the 6.0–6.4 second range.
The 2013 GS 350 uses a 3.5-liter V6 producing about 306 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The exact 0-60 figure depends on drivetrain, tire condition, testing surface, altitude, and other variables. The following details summarize typical figures and influencing factors.
Typical 0-60 figures by configuration
Below are representative figures cited by automotive testers for common GS 350 configurations when stock tires and standard conditions are used.
- Rear-wheel-drive GS 350 (RWD): approximately 5.9–6.2 seconds 0-60 mph
- All-wheel-drive GS 350 (AWD): approximately 6.0–6.4 seconds 0-60 mph
- GS 350 with the F Sport package: typically about 5.9–6.2 seconds 0-60 mph
These ranges reflect stock configurations under typical testing conditions. Real-world times can vary due to tire temperature, launch technique, weather, and altitude.
Factors that influence the result
Beyond drivetrain, several variables can affect the measured 0-60 time, including:
- Tire grip and temperature at launch
- Driver technique and launch method
- Vehicle condition, fuel load, and altitude
- Transmission mode and shift behavior (Normal vs Sport)
Publishers’ numbers can differ by tenths of a second depending on testing methodology and equipment, but the GS 350 generally sits in the ranges listed above. The model balances sportier performance with everyday usability for a mid-size luxury sedan.
Summary
The 2013 Lexus GS 350 typically reaches 0-60 mph in about 5.9–6.2 seconds for rear-wheel drive and roughly 6.0–6.4 seconds for all-wheel drive, with minor variations based on tires, launch technique, and testing conditions. The F Sport package tends to stay within a similar range, reflecting the car’s emphasis on balanced performance rather than outright acceleration bragging rights.
