Lexus LS 460 2013, more than a luxury sedan
The work performed in the revised model of The Lexus LS 460 2013, allow this luxury sedan is no problem integrating the fleet of luxury
cars from Toyota .
Nevertheless, we all wonder what is it change things really review the LS? It
is difficult to make a comparative evolutionary fees for governing Lexus, however,
we understand you must.
In 1983 Toyota
greats gathered in secret to devise a way to build a brand where luxury
vehicles were manufactured, powerful, fast and unique ... so the idea for Lexus.
In 1989 the world market comes the Lexus LS 400, the first of the luxury sedans
of the Japanese company, the same as today discussed but very experienced hill.
The new Lexus LS is available in seven varieties, which
represent everything that buyers might want but with the difference that Lexus
has not decreased displacement engine that uses as if it has competition. Starting
with the base model Lexus LS 460, the range is up contemplating options like
AWD and a greater distance between the axes of the wheels on the LS 600h L
Hybrid. For those who want to experience a sports eminently exists F Sport
Lexus LS 460 has four-wheel drive variants.
The Lexus LS 460 power comes from a 4.6-liter engine and a V8
engine that uses direct injection system which is capable of generating 386
horsepower at the 6.400Rpm. The torque level reported by the company is 367
pounds to 4.100Rpm - all in the rear-drive edition. The AWD model we find 360
horsepower and 347 pounds of torque, where the magic is in a gearbox eight-speed
automatic that has cams like the F Sport.
Referring to the sportiest model, we found interesting
elements in the F Sport as corporate grille - which is very aggressive - especially
decorated interior seats and aluminum finishes for the center console, among
other things. The six-piston Brembo brakes indomitable spirit keeps the vehicle
under control. The sports suspension air is present in all models, plus it
Torsen rear differential for AWD models - varies the torque distribution from
the wheels and the sides or from the front to the rear.
The Lexus LS based model has a fairly traditional suspension,
although consumers may opt for a more refined amending its operation on the fly
raising or lowering the car on the ground. The steering is assisted by an
electronic system that includes a controller for the passage of the marches, which
allows for a more tense feeling when the air suspension system is activated.
The center console has a switch management that is displayed
on the screen and allows you to choose between: ECO, Normal and Sport. If attached to the request
of the 2013 Lexus LS air suspension system, added to the three modes described
above plus two modes (Comfort and Sport S +).
Part of the mechanics of the Lexus LS 460 2013 consists of
an engine that is capable of accelerating up to 60mph in 5.4 seconds, which is
clearly a remarkable achievement considering weighs approximately 4717 pounds.
