Design

Exterior Color Selector

The LS is available in eight exterior colors.

Advanced Parking Guidance System

At the touch of a button, the available Advanced Parking Guidance System is designed to parallel park the LS or back into a parking space with a little brake work from you.

19-inch Wheels

Intuitive Parking Assist

By using sensors, available Intuitive Parking Assist determines proximity to other vehicles, alerting you through visual and audio signals.

Performance

4.6-liter V8 Engine

The powerful 4.6-liter engine combines both port and direct fuel injection. With a high horsepower-to-liter ratio, it has the power of a larger engine. The LS 460 accelerates from 0 to 60 in as few as 5.4 seconds.

Eight-Speed Automatic Transmission

The LS is equipped with the world's first eight-speed automatic transmission, offering the perfect blend of acceleration, smooth shifting and fuel efficiency.

Adaptive Variable Air Suspension (AVS)

This available versatile suspension features electronically modulated shock absorbers that automatically change damping rates to accommodate a variety of driving conditions. Unlike traditional coil springs, the air springs can be inflated or deflated to offer various ride heights. A three-position switch on the console also allows you to choose whether you want the suspension to be tighter or more luxurious. Adaptive Variable Air Suspension is standard on AWD. Offered exclusively on the LS 460 Sport is a special sport tuned air suspension that helps the vehicle hug the road, giving driving enthusiasts an experience that's both dynamic and exhilarating.

Safety

Advanced Pre-Collision System (APCS) with Driver Attention Monitor

The available Advanced Pre-Collision System uses a series of sensors to help determine if there is a high probability of a frontal collision, and then ultimately, when a collision is unavoidable. The system retracts the front seat belts and primes the Brake Assist System to help reduce collision damage.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

When the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is in use and the system is activated, available Lane Keep Assist helps guide the vehicle down the center of the lane of travel.

Airbags

The LS comes standard with an advanced series of airbags which help protect you and your passengers in certain types of severe frontal and side impacts.

Advanced Active Front Headrests

In the event of certain minor rear-end collisions, the front section of the driver's and front passenger's headrests is designed to move upward and forward to help reduce whiplash injury.
