In addition to maintaining a constant speed,
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control uses the

06/ RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
To assist safe reversing, RCTA uses

driving control is compelling and immediate.
The extra support of the seat, dimpled leather
steering wheel and shift lever knob, custom
sports meters and displays, and drilled
aluminum pedals give a sports edge to driving
control.
This feeling of control is transformed into
F SPORT exhilaration by fine-tuning of the
front and rear suspension, and the ability
to customize drive mode select to enhance
handling stability and sharpen response.
The high performance exhilaration is further
heightened by the aural thrill of the sound
generator when you depress the accelerator.

TAKU M I
The Lexus pursuit of per fection finds its
finest expression in the master
c r a f t s m a n s h i p o f t h e Ta k u m i .
Every Lexus is based on an uncompromising
approach to creating premium automobiles.
Inspired by our ‘Yet’ philosophy, we seek
innovation in every facet of engineering through
a sophisticated fusion of seemingly incompatible
ideas such as ‘high performance yet high fuel
efficiency’. In addition, unique Lexus styling is born
of our L-finesse design language, a fine balance of
‘Leading-edge’ and ‘finesse’, which ensures every
Lexus is not only captivating and luxurious, but
also highly refined. Finally, every new Lexus model
is also measured against a set of internal standards
covering design, performance, specifications and
equipment, to ensure it is distinctive and worthy of
the Lexus emblem.
63
TA K U M I
This pursuit of perfection is evident at every
stage of the manufacturing process. Every Lexus
vehicle is created with a masterful skill and
attention to detail inspired by both traditional
artisanship and state-of-the-art engineering. For
example, at the Tahara plant in Japan, precision
components made using leading-edge digital
technology are assembled and finished by
master craftsmen called Takumi, whose technical
expertise and sure senses are honed by decades
of rigorous experience.

At Lexus, sustainability is an enormous challenge
that we gladly accept. We are committed to
finding better, more efficient ways to contribute
to a healthier planet, leading the industry in better
business practices. Our focus on the environment
drove our development and global leadership
of hybrid luxury vehicles, and the knowledge we
have gained is applied in all of our vehicles. Our
commitment to recovering, recycling and re-using
permeates the entire company. To reduce waste to
a minimum, we carefully recycle various materials
in our offices, factories, and sales facilities,
reducing CO2 levels beyond our achievements
on the road.
65
ENVIRONMENT
Specific initiatives to enhance the environment
include integrating a keen environment-friendly
focus on the entire life cycle of each vehicle, from
design and production, through to the recycling
of vehicles at the end-of-life. To reduce CO2
emissions, at the design stage we specify extensive
use of plant-derived plastics for components,
instead of petroleum-derived plastics. During
production, we make repeated use of reusable
items, work hard to efficiently use resources to
minimize waste, and recycle any waste produced.
