Despite its presentation at the New York Car Show, Toyota showed off their new Lexus LS460 at the Grand Hyatt today.
With this new big saloon, Toyota aims to gain customers who are traditionally interested in Benz S, BMW 7, Audi A8 and Jaguar XJ8 vehicles.
The LS460 will be powered by their brand new 4.6L V8 Toyota engine that develops 380bhp and an acceleration from 0 to 100kph in 5.5s. It will also come with a new suspension system and VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management), a system that controls all the electronic components like the brakes, the steering, the stability system, ...
The LS460 is a stepping stone to their 2007 release of the LS600 and LS600h (hybrid) that will be rivals for the big V12-powered German saloons.
