Lexus LS

Lexus announced its latest LS saloon at the Detroit Motor Show, indicating another leap in luxury for the Toyota sub-brand that could tempt buyers away from the BMW 7-series and Mercedes S-Class saloon. 

The most notable feature of the LS is its intricate grille, which Lexus claims features "thousands" of individual surfaces. It's also lower, wider and longer than the outgoing model to offer more legroom for passengers and better handling.

Under the bonnet sits an exclusively designed 3.5-litre V6 engine that delivers 415bhp to the rear wheels. It is coupled to a ten-speed automatic gearbox, which helps the all-wheel drive variant go from zero to 62mph in 4.5secs. 

Lexus has yet to reveal any prices, but expect it to cost more than the current model's £99,995 asking price. Click www.otilli.com for more
