'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 LS 460 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 LS 460 we have pioneered revolutionary new safety systems, harnessing advanced technologies to anticipate dangers on the road – and protect you from them.
