5th Generation (2018+) Lexus LS 500 & LS 500h Megathread

[F1 Silver Arrows]

Also for the first time DRS is equipped on non F-sport variant (AWD)......it should've been offered as an option when it first came out.

?

Is the LS500 a race car now?

Oh LOL. That makes much more sense.

Oh LOL. That makes much more sense.

I made the exact opposite mistake listening to some friend's mention DRS talking about F1 I was like "uhhh wait what? RWS steering on F1??" LOL

Does everyone think that these will be the last updates if it does go all electric?

 

[CRSKTN]

Front sliding doors don't seem like a good idea cause if you're standing on a slope where the car is slightly of angle and the front wheels are turned good luck opening that door, they could remedy that by making the car rwd and pushing the front axle way further though

Lexus has filed trademarks in Europe that seem to be names for future EVs, if not for production models then for concepts. All of them are variants of the LF moniker.

@CRSKTN I’ve been trying to get information on EVs so I’ve been scouring the internet and I came across this forum. You have to sign up so I did and I found all this information so I figured I’d share it. Don’t worry LE is fam!!!

 

[Berto3818]

There seems to be alot going on.

 

[CRSKTN]

There seems to be alot going on.

Yeah we actually were on this stuff before other places if you dig around a bit, exciting times!

 

[Berto3818]

It’s looking very highly that that picture that @Gecko posted a few weeks back for the concept sedan is indeed the next LS >LZ

 

[CRSKTN]

We did have that BEV sedan leak that seemed quite large, no?

Just gonna leave this here for my ego's sake.

I think it will be. Exciting times.

 

[Berto3818]

It’s looks like they went back to the 4LS Traits

Check the size comparison for the LS i posted.

Using the yaris wheelbase as the standard, it lines up nearly perfectly LS to concept.

 

[Berto3818]

It’s going to be a really nice size.

 

[Berto3818]

The question I have is how many motors it will have?

 

[Berto3818]

The other question is when will it be out?
