The Lexus LS 460 4.6-liter V8 engine is all-new and 36 percent more powerful, producing about 380 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque for a 0-to-60 mph sprint in 5.5 seconds
The new LS line features Lexus? first-ever stretched version, the LS 460L, with 4.8 inches of added space between the front and back wheels for larger back-seat accommodations ? no doubt to keep pace with long-wheelbase models from Jaguar, BMW and Audi, which tend to be more popular in the U.S. than the standard models.
Already one of the most luxurious sedans on the market, Lexus has elevated levels of luxury and amenities inside the LS. First impressions indicate that the look, feel and function of new features such as power reclining seats replete with fold-out leg rests and massage capability nudge this Lexus dangerously close to much costlier ultraluxury sedans from Maybach and Rolls-Royce ? even though those brands still carry considerably more clout than Lexus.
