Fine Tradition, Dynamism and Elegance

The car is a must for collectors.

The front grille in piano black and headlamp reflector in pure black tone juxtapose with stylish gray wheels to generate a gracious sense of dynamism. Dual-tone stripes embellish the body, enhancing the lines and fluency of the vehicle's eye-catching sporty curves. The "Stone Designs" logo positioned at the beginning of the stripes adds to the car's personality. The car features an exciting sporty interior – dark brown and deep orange grace the door interior trimming panel, steering wheel and armrest box. Genuine leather seats have been beautifully upholstered in complementary colors by a professional design team. Everything exudes passion and charm. The distinctive golden 'LEXUS' logo on the pedal, the luxurious carpet woven in a deep orange color and the smart key pack put the finishing touches on the unassuming yet premium sporty style of the GS300 limited special edition.
