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. 54 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. 55 < T H E P OW E R O F T E N > THE MASTER CRAFTSMEN WHO MAKE A LEXUS A LEXUS H I RO F U M I KO GA Master of Plastic Moulding, 36 years of experience 56 There is no higher honour within the engineering ranks of Lexus than a Takumi, or Master Craftsman. Each is hand-selected for performing their craft more skillfully and artfully than the rest. Tasked with training and instilling pride in the thousands of engineers beneath them, this elite group of ten oversees every aspect of development at the Tahara plant. They think in terms of microns. Their margin for error, even less. Though Hirofumi Koga has a specially calibrated machine designed to identify imperfections in the dash, he prefers to use a far more reliable tool: By running his gloved hand over the surface, he can detect less than a millimetre of difference in the uniformity of the foam underneath. And he requires his team members be able to do the same.

His team members must memorise a list of 250 points to inspect. Sound daunting? That’s only for one piece. These are just two of the 26,000 tasks you’ll find in a Lexus plant. Each must be precisely demonstrated and described in exacting detail by a craftsman to receive certification. How much detail? Consider this: There’s a 14-minute film on how to place a grommet correctly—a task that takes a mere two seconds.

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. 58 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. 59 RX TURBO, RX 350, RX HYBRID EXTERIOR & INTERIOR COLOURS A palette of colours, from bold and luminous to nuanced and sophisticated, lets you express your individualit y.
