The lexus GS has never been a front drive.

 

Back in 1998, it was a 13.8 second rear driver.

 

They added a direct injected V6 and AWD for some models in the last few years since toyota will stop importing the 2jz soon if not already.

GS300 was fwd. The IS300 was awd or rwd iirc.

The ES and the RX were front drive but some RX are all wheel drive and the RX400h (which I drove as a company car when I worked for lexus) was a really unusual setup with an electric motor in the rear of the car.

 

They were not a whole lot bigger than a differential and one in the front and one in the rear of a little car like a toyota FX (steep hatchback) would be a lot of fun.

 

I'm just waiting to find two of those rear motors for sale.......someday.
