Also debuting at the Frankfurt Motor Show was the All-Wheel Drive version of the 2013 Lexus GS 350, which was on display in Starlight Black:
Interesingly, the GS 350 AWD will have 312 hp (317PS), giving it a minor power boost over the RWD GS 350 and its 306 hp (310PS). However, this doesn’t make for a faster car — the 2013 GS AWD will take 6.3 seconds to hit 100km/hr (62mph), .2 seconds slower than the previous generation AWD GS.
Update: According to sources at Lexus USA, it looks like the U.S. GS 350 AWD will have the same horsepower as the RWD model.
Update 2: Turns out that the above GS is not Obsidian, but Starlight Black. No word yet on the color availability.
