STATE-OF-THE-ART REFINEMENT
LS 460 ULTRA-SMOOTH
PERFORMANCE
V8 ENGINE, 8-SPEED TRANSMISSION
The LS 460 luxury sedan is an amazingly refined vehicle to drive. Powered by an ultra-smooth 4.6-litre V8 petrol engine
(its crankshaft is polished by hand to ensure perfect balance) with the 8-speed automatic transmission, it sets pioneering
standards for cultivated performance. Delivering smooth power and economy, the LS 460’s engine has D-4S direct fuel
injection and dual VVT-i.

EXQUISITE CRAFTSMANSHIP
LEATHER SEATS, REAL WOOD OR BAMBOO INLAYS
For the driver and passengers, the LS is an incredible vehicle to travel, relax or
work in – even on the longest journeys. The sumptuous leather front seats are
16-way electronically adjustable, with upholstery that is 15% thicker. Quality is
overseen by master craftspeople in our award-winning Tahara plant: witness
the beautiful stitching detail on the leather dashboard and precision-machined
aluminium controls of the audio system. For the ultimate in refinement, the
steering wheel and dashboard ornamentation are available in a “Shimamoku”
veneer (black/grey striped wood) that involves 67 manufacturing steps over
the course of 38 days.

LS FEATURES
FEATURES LS
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY
Positioned in the upper center of the meter cluster, the large 5.8-inch colour TFT
(Thin Film Transistor) Multi-Information Display provides a wide range of vehicle
information, data, and warnings through user-friendly graphics.
19-SPEAKER MARK LEVINSON
Among the world’s finest in-vehicle entertainment systems, a peerless 19-speaker
Mark Levinson Reference sound system comes standard. With it, passengers
enjoy perfect 7.1 channel surround sound. Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity,
and an auxiliary input and USB port for use with media players, also fitted.
BLIND SPOT MONITOR
Radar devices mounted in the rear bumper detect vehicles in adjacent lanes that
are not visible in the door mirrors. If the driver is indicating to change lanes and
a vehicle enters the blind spot, a warning signal appears in the relevant
door mirror(s).
6
LED FOG LIGHTS
The LS 460 has LED front fog lights and rear combination lights. The world’s
smallest-diameter LED fog lights are fitted, with a lens shape that combines
beautifully with the spindle grille and LED daytime running lights.
12.3-INCH MULTIMEDIA DISPLAY
The high-resolution, 12.3-inch LED multimedia display is the widest available in
a series-production vehicle. The driver and front passenger can interact with
multiple display screens using Remote Touch, while voice commands also
control a number of applications.
“CLIMATE CONCIERGE”
“Climate Concierge” is yet another Lexus worldfirst innovation on the LS. Constantly monitoring
temperatures inside and outside the vehicle, this
integrated system automatically adjusts cabin,
seat and steering wheel temperatures.
DYNAMIC ILLUMINATION SYSTEM
As you approach the vehicle, a Dynamic Illumination System - a world first from
Lexus - switches on the door mirror lamps and clock light to welcome you.
When you unlock the doors, the daytime running lights illuminate, as if the LS is
awakening. Pressing the START button then activates an elegant animation on
the multimedia display, followed by a gentle stream of light along the dashboard.
NANOE® TECHNOLOGY
This award-winning Lexus technology releases
microscopic, negatively-charged particles into the
cabin. By attaching themselves to airborne
particles, these nanoe® ions help purify the cabin
air and effectively deodorise seats and upholstery.
In addition, because their moisture content is
approximately 1 000 times that of conventional
ions, you’ll notice a healthy moisturising effect on
your skin and hair.
EMV REMOTE CONTROLLER
Next generation Remote Touch, with single-press
confirmation, lets you interact intuitively with
the central multimedia display. Ergonomically
designed, this highly-intuitive controller is close at
hand and as easy to use as a computer mouse.
