Lexus GS450h acceleration

[1bentley4ever]

I can see now why no one ever bought the GS460. Who needs V8 power and 16 mpg when a hybrid is faster and does 20+ mpg!

[koshkapriora]

хорошее ускорение, реально мощно едит, можно даже с некоторыми супекарами посоперничать, а про вариатор не знал......

[HamadHHAG]

0 - 100

like 4.2 seconds

[HamadHHAG]

i love this GS 450H

specially the 2012 model

[macsrule94]

does it every change gears!!!

[czasamitrudno]

Awesome Japanese Airbus starting sequence

[czasamitrudno]

Holy shit...

[wfhuddy]

HOLLYSHIT

[Chebureko]

Its fake)



[MrHynzie]

@Chebureko i can tell you personally its not.. very quick car..

[Chebureko]

@MrHynzie minimal: good downhill or very good tuned. It cant run so fast in stock settings. 0-200 in about 16 sec - cant be true for that car.

[safaa7]

no shift lag!

[CC8sX06]

@safaa7 CVT.. you´ve heard of it?????

[safaa7]

@CC8sX06 haha I heard about it in my Mechanical Design class, continuously variable transmission (Y) Smart guy

[CC8sX06]

@safaa7 so???

[marcelo143]

gear box not cool ¬¬

[BKEJP]

Check your stats again. It IS NOT a performance car.

[imingwahyudi]

It will slash the E55 AMG....I guess

[SuperDaruis]

@imingwahyudi no it's can't

[GenuineRuksadindan]

GEEZ!!!!

[DayDay1229]

I love my gs300 I put it in sport mode and beat the he'll out of my boys g35 coupe the other night

[normalais]

HOLLY SHIIIIT!!!

[therobin4o]

Wow this car is amazing fast and the its sounds like space shutle:)

[op3l]

that is eerily quiet... all i can hear was the wind noise.

[Neee35]

this is so close to a M5 and M6

[fabalaosone]

damnnnnn a fuckin hybrid! thats sick as hell

[Akhat888]

nice)

[cduluk]

why are you people saying this video is fake? The gauge is in kph not MPH. Hence 100 on this gauge is ~60mph. According to this video it took about 6 seconds from 0-60mph. With a fully charged hybrid battery this thing should do 0-60 in 5.1 seconds.

[iowastaterocks11]

there is no way...

[g1981c]

very nice drivetrain ... but BMW is still a better car

[hemi514]

@MrDefq  I was only saying to notice the units. No need for the effing name calling. And I was only stating an opinion considering I'm actually licensed to build engines. Like I said to each their own. Get a life.

[form109]

Nice...though i prefer the Non-Hybrid GS.

[hemi514]

Not bad but notice the units are in km/hr so adjust accordingly :) I prefer thundering v8s sooooo not a hybrid person but to each their own...

[MrDefq]

@hemi514 What not bad idiot? No car goes 260 mph. 260 km/h is 155 mph. So reaching 155 mph for a V6 car is 31 seconds is not bad??

[jsiszero]

lol the dash and speedometer does look like a futuristic kitchen appliance...

[adidobre2002]

Nice FAKE

[haxhiq]

@adidobre2002 No this is real...

[adidobre2002]

@haxhiq that is unbelievable, this car beats the shiet out 335i ...

[haxhiq]

@adidobre2002  we have the sane model!

[haxhiq]

@adidobre2002 no, we have that car!

sorry for bad english d:

[haxhiq]

@adidobre2002 We have that car!

[iHamood]

Holy Shit

0-100 less than 5 sec

0-200 in about 16 sec

0-260 in about 30 sec

man this car performance is better than the ISF

[MrDefq]

@iHamood 0-100 is 5.1 sec. Still very good for a V6 engine car.

[iHamood]

@MrDefq

yeah its also good for a CVT...cause most of the car with CVT transmission have a bad acceleration from 0

[keithbontrager]

@iHamood Off the factory floor the GS doesn't handle as well as the ISF though. It's a well balanced car (I have a GS460) but the ISF would wipe the floor with the GS at the track

[bulletsweeper93]

@iHamood did you notice that its in KMH not MPH? lol its 0-60 time is about 5-6sec...the IS-F is in the low 4's

[iHamood]

@bulletsweeper93

i know its in KM/H..imagine 0-260 in "MPH" in 30 s WTF!

[ramsey1981]

I had been driving this car till I bought carrera s. Believe or not - for every day use it is much better than Porsche and still have enough power to be a fun car. Porsche is too noisy, too small, perfect for racetrack but not for fun when you use it every day. Honestly, you can't do more than 15k km per year - it's to rough.

[MrDefq]

@Stepi87 Please don't buy one.

[Stepi87]

@MrDefq Sorry but I know about what I´m speaking, my friend has one...Simply it isn´t car for me but Thanks for your advice...I´m not going to do it ;)

[tinythetiger]

@Stepi87 you know this because you've driven one of these right?

[MrTheking911]

@Stepi87 Why do you say so? Is there a difference in driving?

[MrDefq]

@MrTheking911 It doesn't have a gear box. There are a series of pulleys that they stretch as the car speed increases. A lot of people don't like it because they don't feel the gear change.

[rado088]

@Stepi87 minimum enjojment...thats faster than a 335i, 0-200 in 15sec as fast as an R8

[cduluk]

@Stepi87 ...wtf? What makes the hybrid GS less enjoyable to drive than the standard GS? Last i checked the hybrid GS was the fastest lexus to come out of the factory next to the IS-F. The hybrid GS has the same ride components as its gas powered twin, only difference is the extra 0-60 time and more than double the passing power from 20mph-60mph.

[ULTIMATEGUITARIST3]

Just test dove one of these today ! They are a REALLY fast car. When you put the floor  there is no end to the power!

[azfiandazfar]

are you kidding me ? :O thats a hybrid i want

[ranini]

my mouth is opened

[AplodAn1908]

...i see much but,that was amazing...lexus?

[musclemaninmusclecar]

It's Incredibly fast !!!:O

[whosbluegrass]

ha! this is far from fake. I've driven a handfull of these and they pick up!

[musclemaninmusclecar]

This is funny but probably fake. Why would lexus announce the car to cross the 1/4 mile line in about 14.2-14.5 ? As it's shown, gs450h are faster than 507bhp M5 series :D

[robben896]

@musclemaninmusclecar Not really, the M5 takes you from 0-60 in 4,7secs while the gs450h is whole 150 bhp less does the same in 5,2secs.

[lSairexl]

@robben896 0,5s difference is ot much .. especially for a car that weights much more.. this is really impresssive :)

[robben896]

@lSairexl sure is. All down to that CVT gearbox.

[nimapersian]

280 km

[banstaman]

If you roll to a stop by shifting into neutral, would the batteries still charge?

[statultra]

@banstaman in neutral there is no current flow in the hybrid system, if you let off the gas in drive its basically neutral and regenerative braking works automatically

[kzinoue]

Wow, 165mph in 30sec!

I seriously didn't know GS450h is that fast. Amazing!

[kneckebenkross]

I have always been a BMW enthusiast and i was planning to buy a BMW 335D Touring now that we have a kid.

But after seeing this vid i will probably reconsider my purchase.

This car seems to have no stop! And its a hybrid

[T67GS300]

I time the 0-100 (0-60) about three times and got around 5.6 seconds. Thats really fast for a hybrid.

[cruizin85]

@T67GS300 its a regular lexus with electic integrated motor assist for lower speeds go look up city and highway mpg and itll show alot better than most around town but not much better on the highway but it still is worth it to buy if you're in the market for a nicely kitted estate and are more worriesome about mileage

[T67GS300]

@cruizin85 why are you telling me?

[cruizin85]

@T67GS300 wasn't i was telling other viewers but alot of times it's useless knowledge but i'm a petrol head though

[im1knight]

who says hybrids are slow? lol

[cruizin85]

@im1knight this isnt a full blown mpg hybrid but it does get considerably better than normal petrol only versions

[walamoonbeam]

It's like the energizer bunny. I just keeps going. And going. And going. I was expecting it to stop accelerating, but nope. That needle just kept climbing at a steady rate.

[xg350]

watch how fast the battery looses energy!!!

[guting]

lmfao FAST!

[ponchochan]

Don't diss this hybrid!

[kompleti]

this smook a 370 z

[zolika320]

Huuu brutááál!!!!!!!!

[zolika320]

Fuuu brutááál!!!!!!!!

[4spdk]

Very fast indeed but I don't like this continuously variable transmission

[AWllWA]

what's happened @ 0:15 .. 120KM/H

is it Transmission or what ?

[bocaratonflorida]

@AWllWA is the VVT-i system

the engine management raises the time of valve's opening ;)

sorry about my english =)

[SilentDeathPT]

@AWllWA auto

[bocaratonflorida]

0-200 in 16 seconds....very very fast!!! =D

amazing car!

[Bartekcsaba]

100-200 in 10 sec? hm very impressive

[7olusegun]

Hahahahaha!! is this car really on the road or in a garage with its rear wheels spinning on rollers?

[d1e6om]

@Marvin16ish You barely have pubes....are you 16 because I don't like sending minors to eat shit. Go to bed, mommy's waiting with your bottle.

[Marvin16ish]

E 63 AMG ROCKS THE WOTLD SHIT HEADS

[TheJerryntom]

@Marvin16ish use your brain man that e63 uses so much fuel and i rather take a m5 than a amg

[Marvin16ish]

It is not a bad car it's quite good

[soullove01]

is that true ?

[Marvin16ish]

Face it all you fat twats Mercedes Benz E63 AMG (new 2010) beats all lexus crap 6.3 litre v8 faster than most shit there is no point in super cars cus every road in britain has speed limit. THE NEW E CLASS BEATS ALL OTHER SHIT

[MrHynzie]

@Marvin16ish gs 450 is a 3.5 litre idiot .. u havnt got a clue shut up

[159jammy]

@Marvin16ish your one fucking retard. the mercedes in a NEW model so obviosly it will have better stuff. and also "BEATS ALL OTHER SHIT". hmm. Im quite sure Lexus, BMW, nisian and ferrari is not shit.

[amirforman]

@Marvin16ish And maybe three times more expensive.

[7olusegun]

@Marvin16ish Yeah; maybe in price, cost of maintenance, less technical sophistication and more fuel guzzler. Then I agree with you.

[OneOfaKind949]

The worst thing about this car is the CVT transmission. I'll rather wait for the Infiniti M35 Hybrid, which comes with a proper 7 speed transmission, lithium Ion batteries, and one electric motor adding another 60 hp to the 3.5 litter 300 hp gasoline engine.

[keithbontrager]

I wish my mum held off buying her GS460 for couple of years, this is simply amazing!

[Marvin16ish]

The new e 63 bears all Lexus crap

[Marvin16ish]

Copy of the new e class

[785473]

@Marvin16ish lexus is fare above e class(e-motor)

[cornyschoko]

@Marvin16ish

omfg, get some brain and stop talking shit.

the lexus gs is older than the new e-class ---> NOT a copy

e63 beats all lexus? lol, idiot.

e63 (6,2 v8), biggest lexus-enginge (not suv) is an 5,0 v8.

take the lexus is-f with its 5,0 v8 (-only- 423 hp xD), its a little bit slower

than your fuckin e63. less cm³/hp and only 0.3 seconds slower.

dude, you suck...

[NDreWkaz]

got one too. best car ever made

[ali4915]

I presently own a GS450h, and the acceleration in this car is mind blowing. Also the sensation is rather unique due to the clever electric motors.

[956732775]

AMAZING!  LUV THE LEXUS CARS.

[n1meisner]

I love how the CVT acts. It's so smooth, even with a get-up-and-go that quick.

[blazej1]

fast charger? :)

[StigSpielberg]

Great video! Great acceleration! I know it drives incredibly good. If you go slowly, you don't hear the engine at all (electric drive). But if you put your foot down: this is heaven on earth! The CVT is very good. You can also check my video of another CVT: the Nissan Maxima 09/10 in DS Mode and Manual Mode.

[keithbontrager]

Jesus christ that's fast.

I wonder if my mums GS460 could do the same...

[robben896]

@keithbontrager Your moms 460 wouldnt do as good from 0-60 but it has greater top speed :)

[UUSS20001]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

THIS VERY NICE

i LOVE THAT

[chazzy2010]

fast

[prodoudoune]

pursuit of the perfection

[BMW130ii]

I think it is downhill

[banstaman]

Does anybody know what happened at 0:12? It sounded like a brief loss of power.

[hewlettdells]

@banstaman its a transition period for the hybrid system, where VVTi goes into full power. Its evident on most toyota hybrids, but not at the same speed.

[MrHakan48]

@banstaman The gearbox for the electric motor changed to 2:nd gear. As you hear the gasoline engine is running at optimal revs all the time.

[Gravitara]

@MrHakan48 There are no gears at all study the mechanics of Toyota hybrids.

[WickedTRX]

@Gravitara there's a planetary gear set that provides two ratios between the electric motor and the drive shaft. From that same motor to the engine, there's a planetary differential connecting the other motor/gen and the engine, pretty much the same as a prius, but bigger....

[dams005]

The most amazing hybrid car I've been given to drive... 355 horse power, 8L every 100kms accelerating hard all the time. Really cool car.

[iukanaboi17]

this reminds me of airplanes taking off.. more and more throttle.... hold.. FULL POWER. haha

[Sxybutchgrrl]

I love my car! ;)

[SP33DADD1CT]

what is this..?? why isnt the rpm comming back back..?? and 260 in second gear..??:S

[SP33DADD1CT]

LOL..OMG..why so much cussing ?? are u really 37..?? were u always like this or u lost ur mind when u saw ur wife in bed with someone..

take it easy ...try acting ur age...May God take u out of this Misery..dont worry things would get better ...dont loose hope ...:)

[fromdadarkside]

the left table shows the power in kw, not rpm, and

the gs450h doesn't need to change gears - gearless transmission

[SP33DADD1CT]

thanx man..appreciate it

[Hypertenzion]

It's a CVT transmission (Continuously Variable Transmission) - It's "gearless" :-)

[SP33DADD1CT]

ya thanx man...too bad i thought that was rpm...:)

[brjha]

lexus has done it again

[gl0ckr0xxer]

batterie ist aber schnell alle gegenüber meinem rx. Oo

[georgebnd]

Thats on a dyno test,not on a road!

[brunofigs94]

How very fast

[hy3ba11er]

this is amazin especially coming from a hybrid

[da4kgr3y]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vladbph]

0 to 260 in about 30 seconds...????!!!! That is very close to M5.... GS is amazing car

[UNBOXINGCAR]

close to the M5 and more fuel efficiently than the 535d!

[HiShBL2]

I got to admit , this thing could easily compared with v8 american muscles and could beat some of them .

[Djordjeblrs]

u jbt. ala je brz!

[isusje]

omg thats faaaaaast :|

[vipergtr21]

my dad has one and ive only had it to 140. its supposed to be limited to 134 but so much for that... retarded fast though for a car that is pumped full of batteries.

[sspope]

this is in kph

[tetetete18]

ha ha LEXUS guy LEXUS :)

[iliasiliasilias10]

unbelievably fast i must admit.But i find it annoying that it doesn't change gear(due to the CVT)

[sspope]

Almost as fast as a V8 car.

[sspope]

No shifting? How does the gearbox work?

[ArnisanYT]

It¨s a variable transmission. No gearshifting.

[sspope]

Sort of amazes me how something like that can work and be durable at the same time, but it must be boring compared to DSG for example.

[petershen1984]

damn, but the battery was quick to drain, as soon as the battery dies you lose part of the acceleration...

[ArnisanYT]

No drain but it is generate electricity when he release the trottele. The blue line shows how electricity recharging battery.

[30secondCarMasta]

oh gee!

[BigBoBaH]

brutally fast. many cars starting to die after 200km/h this keeps going and going

[Enzo20061234]

Unbelievable acceleration from a big hybrid sedan!!

[cruiseman3211]

Damn! You must have generated alot of electricity from slowing down from that speed. Do you remember how much it recharged the battery?

[amdnovello]

there's an upper limit wich you cannot pass unfortunately

[satandueglemsk]

great, i own that car, just check my video. Great soundsisolating in the coupe, and great acceleration 5,9 sec 0-100 kmh

[SDDrewGS4]

Damn your hauling! whats its 0-60?

[satandueglemsk]

5,9 sec from 0-100 kmh, check my vid too :-)

[MrHakan48]

@satandueglemsk By holding the car with the brake pedal and giving full trottle for about 15 seconds (the computer will rev up the engine slowly to around 3500 rpm and the generator will load the high voltage battery) before you suddenly go off the brake, the car will go 0 - 100 km/h in 5,3 seconds.
