Look at this interior, its the only one can beat the S-Class' one :

Looking another way, the S-Class is even not the one to beat, given how the S Class is not even exclusive: exterior and interior is basically the same as C Class and E Class, same sausage, different length.

I take my words back. It looks stunning.

Yeah... this pic is drop dead gorgeous. I'm sold. It's sophisticated, elegant, futuristic and upscale looking. This car is really very different looking from any other Lexus sedan before it. There is a lot more detailing, and I feel like there are more curves. The design is more complex than any other Lexus, but it works beautifully.

There is no doubt that S-Class exterior is ugly as hell, 7-Series is better looking but the design is way too old. Interior wise S-Class is the best but its classic, so I see Lexus interior is more modern and more beautiful, "The 2 knobs on the top for example is like an Asian style bamboo scroll hold a waterfall curtain, followed by paper folding lanterns." Lexus designer said they went full Japanese style on this interior and that's why I love it.

In conclusion the LS now is the best looking car in this segment inside and out .

Tech. wise its too early to judge, but I'm glad to see some world's firsts in the reveal of this 5LS.

1, 2 and 4 are hideous. 3 is directly from the LC. 5 has the most promise...

BUT DAMN. COME ON, LEXUS! You've been designing decent rims for a while, but this group is a huge let down!

Land Cruiser V8 Diesel is 1VD-FTV and produces 650 Nm.
LDeleuran
Argh! You are right. I was too fast on the configurator. The 1UR-FE is the 4.6 petrol, while the 1VD-FTV is the diesel. So the new LS has -almost- as much torque as the diesel Land Cruiser!
You're right guys, my bad. I had forgotten about that engine variant, as it is not that common. The single turbo version of the V8 diesel still makes less torque than this LS engine. Only the twin turbo V8 diesel makes more torque than this engine.

So in reality, the LS500 engine still makes the most torque of any gasoline engine Toyota has ever offered.
