Lexus LS 2013: A New Face

The big Japanese sedan that, until recently, lived in the shadow of its German rivals created a real stir when Lexus unveiled the latest generation on July 30 Lexus LS 2013. It offers not only a splendid new silhouette, but also many technical improvements. In addition to being modernized, its interior has greatly gained in comfort and technology. Lexus LS 2013 also promises a sportier ride than ever for its large luxury sedan.

The Lexus LS 2013 is designed for businessmen and wealthy families, because about 100 000 per unit, it is far from suitable for most budgets. It comes, as usual, in LS 460 and LS Hybrid. However, Lexus offers new this year a LS-F Sport to its large sedan, which should appeal to performance enthusiasts.

For big hitters only……. Lexus LS 2013

In its basic version, the Lexus LS 2013 is equipped with a 4.6 liter V8 engine, whose power rises to 357 horsepower and 344 foot-pounds of torque. With an average fuel consumption of 13.5L/100km city and 8.7L/100km on the highway, it is far from being the most energy efficient engine in its class. However, it allows the large sedan from Japanese automaker from 0-100 in just 5.9 seconds.

Lexus offers another V8 engine of 4.6 liters. The latter, despite its 380 horsepower and 367 foot-pounds of torque, performs less interesting than his little brother. However, it is much cheaper than one with an average of 12.9L/100km city and 8.2L/100km on the highway.

A hybrid car at a time and sports

It’s not every day you hear in the same sentence and hybrid V8 the most powerful in its class. However, in the case of the Lexus LS 2013 provides the most powerful V8 hybrid in the world. With 438 horsepower and 385 foot-pounds of torque, it propels the two-ton sedan from 0-100km / h in just 6.5 seconds. In addition, it displays fuel consumption reasonable given its phenomenal performance with an average of 10.6L/100km city and 9.1L/100km on the highway.

LS-F coming in 2013

Lexus has not released any technical data on the new sports version of its large luxury sedan. It is known that the latter benefit from Brembo disc brakes as well as a system to amplify the sound of the engine. The new grille of the Lexus LS 2013 is reminiscent of Infiniti SUV, but most say. However, with respect to the rest of his aesthetics, the Japanese manufacturer sedan offers an elegant finish and unique. Inside is the same. Lexus offers not only a host of new technologies, but also a more modern and tasteful finish. If you want my opinion, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi have this world better watch out when the new generation Lexus LS 2013 will officially entered the market.
