TAKUMI CRAFTSMANSHIP
Lexus takumi master craftsmen leveraged unconventional design inspirations—from musical instruments to origami to paper lanterns—and handcrafted elements that have never been realized in the world of automobile manufacturing to create the all-new LS.
DISTINCTIVE ART WOOD TRIM
Lexus craftsmen worked with select artisans to transform natural wood into exclusively available wood trim designs. Art Wood Organic features a vibrant grain that was inspired by a flickering flame. While Art Wood Herringbone involves the same process used to decorate top-quality musical instruments, individually handcrafting pieces of natural wood to create a delicate, Lexus-original mosaic design. These art wood trims are so unique, they can take up to four months and 32 steps to complete.
HAND-PLEATED TRIM
Created from a single piece of cloth, the available hand-pleated interior trim is a tribute to the art of origami. An achievement four years in the making, the final expression is so complex and precise that it can only be folded by human hands.
POLISHED MAGNESIUM DETAILS
With fluid, delicate lines reminiscent of the traditional Japanese harp (koto), the dash accents of the LS are made of magnesium because of its unique tactile qualities. The manufacturing process requires several layers of surface treatment in order to create its distinct feel and dynamic appearance.
AMBIENT LIGHTING
Inspired by the warm glow of traditional Japanese andon lanterns and the welcoming spirit of omotenashi, soft LED illumination warmly invites the driver and passengers into the cabin.
KIRIKO CUT GLASS
With its delicately etched pattern and luminous glow, Kiriko cut glass is designed by hand to catch the eye and light. A laser-scanning technique creates data from ten thousand different cuts in order to capture the uniqueness of this human touch. Each piece of glass requires up to 147 points of polishing, which can take up to two hours to complete.
THE LS GRILLE
Eight hours a day. Over six months. More than 5,000 individual surfaces, all arranged by hand, and 5,000 individual facets, each precisely calibrated to catch and reflect light. The design process behind the grille of the LS would be considered extravagant if the result were anything less than visionary.

THE ALL-NEW LS
Transcending every standard of prestige is only the beginning. Redefining what a flagship can be, this vehicle is an experience that only Lexus could create. Introducing the completely reimagined 2018 Lexus LS. Built upon the platform of the high-performance LC coupe, and adopting a sporty, coupe-like profile, the new LS is available in three exhilarating models: LS 500, LS 500 F SPORT and LS 500h.
OUR FIRST-EVER TWIN-TURBOCHARGED ENGINE
The twin turbochargers in the new LS 500—developed in-house—are among the world’s most efficient in a production vehicle, while also delivering a thrilling 416 horsepower,* 442 lb-ft of torque,* and a zero-to-60 time of 4.6 seconds.* The powerful engine leverages Formula One® technology, such as straight intake ports, and it also has a longer stroke and laser-clad intake-valve seats.
10-SPEED DIRECT-SHIFT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The all-new 10-speed Direct-Shift automatic transmission is the first in its class,* delivering the optimal gear for a wide variety of driving conditions and offering paddle shifters for when you want control at your fingertips.

THE FIRST MULTISTAGE HYBRID PRESTIGE LUXURY SEDAN
From the inventors of the prestige hybrid sedan—now with seven generations of industry-leading technological refinement—comes a new benchmark. The LS 500h is the first multistage hybrid prestige luxury sedan* and, with the instinctive feel of a 10-speed automatic transmission, the most responsive and fastest LS Hybrid yet.* It’s built on an advanced powertrain: a potent 354 total system horsepower* including a 24-valve Atkinson-cycle gas engine, powerful yet compact dual electric motors, and our lightest, most compact self-charging lithium-ion battery. Combining world-class craftsmanship, impressive fuel economy,* and the robust performance of dual power sources that are always charged and ready, it’s the breakthrough that recasts the entire concept of excellence in the category.
EV AND MANUAL MODES
An entirely new hybrid technology, Manual mode allows drivers to select and hold any direct, responsive gear shift using the paddle shifters.

ALL-NEW PLATFORM
The 2018 LS shares a front-engine platform with the high-performance LC coupe. The all-new front-midship design delivers exceptional balance and allows for a lower overall height and driver position, enhancing handling thanks to a lower center of gravity. The result is sport-inspired stability, responsiveness and, ultimately, one of the most confident and engaging driving experiences we’ve ever created.
ADAPTIVE VARIABLE AIR SUSPENSION
Numerous next-generation Lexus technologies work together for a unique approach to comfort and control. The Adaptive Variable Suspension features dampers that are continuously variable through 650 levels, allowing you to stiffen or soften the drive for enhanced response or comfort, based on your preferred drive mode. The all-new front and rear suspension supports were created from cast aluminum, drastically improving handling stability and allowing the driver to receive direct feedback through the steering wheel.

In the rear, LED combination taillamps cut through darkness while cutting a distinctive appearance. Their sculpted, aerodynamic shape helps direct airflow rearward and away from the vehicle sides for optimum handling and control.

PRECISION-CRAFTED STEERING WHEEL
The visionary steering wheel is the result of rigorous testing and track development with Lexus takumi masters. By measuring the distribution of palm pressure on the wheel during countless hours of test-driving, designers were able to dynamically vary the shape in order to provide optimum grip everywhere on the wheel.

With ample touch surface area, this system mimics smartphone operations including pulsation feedback and intuitive pinch, swipe and flick gestures—even integrating handwritten input—to provide convenient access to multimedia, climate controls and Navigation.*
