The new 2007 Lexus LS 460, the largest and most expensive sedan by Lexus is the best release so far by the luxury division of Toyota Motor Corporation. This 4th generation of the full-size RWD, which for eighteen years, has been the flagship of Lexus, with a more attractive and even more aggressive stance. We thank Lexus’ new design style, the L-Finesse.

The state-of-the-art exterior lighting comes with a Dual-swivel Adaptive Front Lighting System, with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps which are more energy-saving, durable, and brighter than traditional halogen headlamps.

The Intuitive Parking Assist uses sensors to give alert to drivers when they are already too close to other parked cars, and with the guide of the Advanced Parking Guidance System, this car will almost virtually park itself. The electrochromic outside mirrors automatically reduces glare, especially when the light is too bright. A Smart Access Key also activates both the doors and the ignition. The 19-inch wheels ensure an increased on efficiency and accuracy on handling.

The interior offers probably one of most luxurious, executive-class seating available on the market: leather-trimmed seats, with a memory system which holds the driver’s and the passenger’s favorite position, the 8 GB hard-disk on the surround sound audio system, the voice-activated navigation system are but a few of the features which add up to making the Lexus LS 460 2007 one of the most comfortable cars available on the market.

One more novelty is the eight-speed automatic transmission, which, with the direct injection system and the dual variable valve timing, efficiently reduce fuel consumption and emissions, giving this model a well-deserved certification as an Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV II). The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control helps keep a safe distance from car in front, and the Electronic Controlled Braking (ECB) system is set to increase the level of safety both in critical and risky situations and while parking the car.

Its safety features include advanced airbag placement, for optimal protection for all passengers, the ECB, as mentioned above, ABS, both prepared by the Pre-Collision System, an advanced Tire Pressure Monitor System, and three-points seatbelts, ensuring a high level of protection in critical situations.

All features gives consideration to the Lexus LS 460 2007, as it has this combination of luxury, manageability and safety to new level, bringing it ever closer to the much more expensive sedans from Rolls-Royce and Maybach. You can contact your Lexus Car dealer take a test drive of this magnificent sedan in the highways of Houston Texas and you’ll experience the thrill in bringing home this car.

Reader’s Question:

I have seen several Lexus concept cars. What are the latest improvements expected for the LF-A car and is this already marketed in Houston, Texas?

The Lexus LF-A is a concept supercar which was first introduced at the 2005 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). This car was later recreated by Toyota’s premium brand for slight modifications and was re-launched at Detroit at 2007 North American International Auto Show.

LF-A offers a bold new design to Lexus brand and signifies the beginning of a new era in supercars. L-finesse is the styling design direction for the LF-A. This concept was used to re shape the redefine the 2005 to make it look more refined which was earlier presented at the 2007 NAIAS. The later version has revised styling and refinement, the front end is particularly made more curvaceous to make the LF-A sportier and give better aerodynamics. Before LF-A was launched, Lexus had a market image of producing first class, premium luxury cars. But with the launch of LF-A, the company is tried change its perception and also aimed market growth by producing powerful and beautiful supercars for its customers.

The running variant of the LF-A is powered by a high-revving 500+ horsepower V10 engine, a specification which puts LF-A in the same league with other car giants like Ferrari and Lamborghini. In its concept version the car measures 5 inches shorter than the Porsche 911, yet provides a wheelbase which is 9 inches longer than the 911, an evidence of better ride quality and good control.
Another development in the LF-A is the installation of a thick, fixed rear wing, which as compared to the smaller versions in other supercars, this rear wing is in charge for giving supercars the necessary down force at high speeds. Overall, LF-A’s front engine placement, together with a rear-mounted transaxle and radiators gives an excellent weight distribution; and at the same time a powerful engine, aerodynamics and revised styling enables the car to reach a top speed of 200 mph.
The cost of LF-A is expected to be about and not lower than $100,000, at such price, the LF-A is really one of the promising super cars to be produced by a Japanese automaker, and surely the production version of LF-A is going to pose big threat for other luxury car manufacturers presently competing with Lexus. I am not pretty sure if this is already available in Houston Texas, but I suggest calling or checking your local Lexus car dealers.
