'We decided the new LS must be a creative departure from the traditional norm. We were aiming for a vehicle that is remarkably advanced and intelligent, and yet which also has a strong appeal at a sensory and emotional level."

MORITAKA YOSHIDA, CHIEF ENGINEER

Fusing the most advanced technology and craftsmanship with deep design artistry, the new LS460/460L redefines the luxury sedan. A new car from the ground up, it achieves revolutionary advances in performance, driving dynamics and quality.

Engine, transmission and suspension are completely new. The powerful new 4.6-litre V8 petrol engine, featuring important breakthrough engine technologies, works seamlessly with the world's first ever 8-speed automatic gearbox to set new standards for dynamic and smooth driving. 

Ride quality has always been a Lexus hallmark. Our new flagship has a totally new multi-link air suspension system, networked with intelligent vehicle dynamics and variable steering to create a ride that is astonishingly agile and refined.

And nowhere is our pursuit of perfection more critical than in the area of safety. In the LS460/460L we have pioneered revolutionary new safety systems, harnessing advanced technologies to anticipate dangers on the road – and protect you from them.
