The LS400 was an elegantly styled high-performance luxury sedan that achieved impressive levels of silence at speeds around 250 km/h. The level of luxury of the LS400 was unprecedented on a mass-produced car, and it was exported throughout the world.
High-performance yet fuel-efficient, it was ultra-silent at high as well as low and middle speed ranges, and its drag coefficient (CD) of 0.29 was world-leading for its class. Its features included a new V8 engine, improved intake and exhaust system, smooth-changing new automatic transmission, front and rear double wishbone suspension, improved aerodynamics, reduced weight, and so on. The result was excellent ride quality in speed restricted built-up areas, quietness at high speeds, and wonderful handling, giving the LS400 the performance of a luxury vehicle but with low fuel consumption.
On its release, the Lexus LS400 garnered awards around the world, becoming the Toyota flagship both in name and substance and occupying the same position in the world of luxury cars as Mercedes Benz. |
