Video & Photo Gallery: 2018 Lexus LS 500 in Manganese Luster

I personally don't like black leather seats since they often look cheap and blemishes in the leather are more obvious. Other than that, I really like the red and the beautiful glass and also the hand pleated cloth.

Yes, the black on the exterior looks grander and very "dapper" like a limo compared to the colour the LS 500 debuted with. Even though I like most colours in the Lexus lineup, When it comes to the LS and I want to look like a VIP entering the back seat, I would probably want a black like this or maybe white.

Yes, yes, YES!! Now THIS is what I'm talking about! That interior, absolutely mind blowing, stunning, and extraordinary! This is WORLD CLASS. Mercedes watch out.

This is the very high level of expectations I had for the new LS interior, and they have met and even slightly exceeded those expectations.

The way the glass trim visually combines with the speaker grille on the rear doors is magnificent. A work of art. I'm not even going to wonder about how reflective those panels are in bright sunlight, as they're just so beautiful. The pleated detail work on the door panels is also brilliant. Anyone know exactly what material the pleated design is made out of? Also in the craftsmanship video, is it implying that this super high-end interior will also be available for the LS500? I really hope this interior is not exclusive only to the LS500h.

Now the other interesting question that arises; given that since the debut of the 5LS, we have been getting a steady and gradual stream of new information about the 5LS (since the initial debut press release was very vague on many details), one has to wonder if this is a deliberate decision to slowly release more and more of the world class details about the 5LS. If this indeed the strategy Lexus is going by, then I expect more world class details to arise leading up to the on-sale date for the 5LS.

The official video introduction to this glass-decorated interior already states it's for the LS500. It even has a screen shot of the LS500's badge at 1:59. So yeah it's pretty much confirmed that this interior will be available to both models.

Probably not a real interior, but working model that might be a 1:1 interior mock-up from 2015 for the specialized trim and what was probably based on the general LS interior design mock-up, approved about 3 years ago (2014).

The final product (memory button placement) is what we are now seeing in the final evaluation prototypes being shown everywhere in photos and in presentation. While the body design might be frozen in time 3 years out for such a complex car, small details like metal work and interior pieces can be tinkered with until a slightly later stage.

The final testing stage that precedes pilot production (4-6 months of test assembly at Tahara), is when such minor interior design details are required to be fully finalised before that last stage of prototyping. Usually that is when they are evaluating what has been developed, before granting engineering sign-off and then green lighting pilot production.

This kind of occurrence isn't too unusual, as BMW and MB have also been known to do this in the past. I remember hearing how after BMW approved final styling of the first generation X5 in 1996, sometime in 1998 before the car went on sale in late 1999, Bangle ordered a minor redesign of the headlight cluster to feature a more concave outline between the turn signals and headlights to liven up the design. There are press shots from 1998 and design patents that highlight these differences.

More recently BMW might have been planning to offer a passenger screen on the G11 7-Series, that even a few insiders described it back in 2013-14 (G11 design freeze was circa July 2012), but they backed out last minute before press reveal in June 2015.

When some BMW fans actually saw the passenger side of the dash in the LS, they nearly had a heart attack over the possibility of Lexus of installing a passenger side screen before BMW did.

With MB, the current S-Class (since 2013) interior design during development back in 2009 had air vents more akin to the perpendicular pattern you see in the A-Class and CLA. That same year of 2009, was when W222 designs (ext/int) were fully signed off, originally intended to arrive in late 2012.

By the time they got to building prototypes for public testing in 2010, a new vertical slat pattern mimicking Rolls-Royce and Bentley had emerged for the air vents, which was spotted in S-Class prototypes testing in early 2011.

It is always so interesting to see prototype designs that don't stay the course, seeing as you can later compare them to the final product.
