What is the 0-60 time for a 2008 Lexus GS?

The 0-60 mph time for a 2008 Lexus GS varies by trim and drivetrain, but typical figures place the V8 versions in the mid-5-second range, the V6 versions around the high-5-second to low-6-second range, and the hybrid at about 7 seconds.


Overview of the 2008 GS lineup and performance


In 2008, the Lexus GS offered multiple powertrains that affected acceleration. The RWD and AWD configurations, along with hybrid options, produced different 0-60 times. For the average consumer, these figures reflect common test results under standard conditions and can differ with testing method, elevation, fuel, and vehicle condition.


Below are typical 0-60 times reported for the 2008 GS variants under standard testing conditions.



  • GS 350 (RWD): approximately 5.7 seconds

  • GS 350 (AWD): approximately 6.0–6.2 seconds

  • GS 460 (RWD): approximately 5.4–5.8 seconds

  • GS 460 (AWD): approximately 5.6–5.9 seconds

  • GS 450h (hybrid): approximately 7.0 seconds


These figures illustrate the range across the main 2008 GS configurations. Actual performance can vary based on maintenance, tires, transmission state, and other factors.


Notes on variation and testing conditions


0-60 times are highly sensitive to testing setup, including whether the tires are cold or warm, the level of traction, and whether the vehicle is equipped with optional performance packages. The hybrid GS 450h, while efficient, inherently carries extra weight from its battery and electrical system, which accounts for its slower acceleration relative to the purely gasoline models.


Summary


In summary, the 2008 Lexus GS offered a spectrum of 0-60 times: mid-5 seconds for the V8-powered GS 460, high-5 seconds to around 6 seconds for the V6-powered GS 350 (depending on drivetrain), and about 7 seconds for the GS 450h hybrid. For buyers focused on straight-line acceleration, the GS 460 tends to be the quickest non-hybrid option, while the hybrid prioritizes efficiency over raw speed. Always check a specific vehicle’s condition and consult independent test data for a precise figure.

What is the GS 460's 0.60 time?


Granted, the Lexus sedan's figures -- certainly the 5.6-second 0-to-60 time -- still represent a speedy and agile machine (it scoots quicker than an Audi TT 3.2 Quattro and circles more swiftly than a BMW 335i Coupe), but compared with other vehicles in its class, the GS pales.
