The engine

2GR-FKS

3.5L Naturally Aspirated V6

A silky, high-revving V6 that builds power linearly to a crisp redline, giving rear-drive Lexus sedans an old-school naturally aspirated sweetness many turbo rivals lack.

Part of Toyota's GR family that in 2004 replaced the MZ V6 and the legendary JZ inline-sixes; the 2GR-FKS arrived in 2015 as the final evolution, succeeding the 2GR-FSE.
