Birth of the First‑Generation GS
The S140 debuted as the first generation of the Lexus GS line, with its roots tracing back to 1993 when it was based on the Toyota Aristo platform. This early model laid the foundation for the GS family that would later expand into multiple generations.
Model‑Year Run and Production Span
The S140 was sold for model years 1994 through 1997, while its production window stretched from February 1993 to July 1997. These dates capture the full lifecycle of the first‑generation GS before the launch of the second generation (S160).
Parts Rarity and Collector Appeal
Because many front‑end chassis components are specific to the GS/RC platform, sourcing original parts can be challenging, often requiring purchases from Japan. This scarcity has turned certain aftermarket items, like the “Franken‑hood,” into highly sought‑after collector pieces.
