First Generations 2007-Lexus-RX350

But what makes this story even more intriguing and apparently quite frustrating for Toyota / Lexus officials, is that believe it or not, we discovered that BYD Auto has actually succeeded in patenting the S6's design (see photo gallery bellow) at the European trademark office!

Perfomance The Lexus-RX-Wald-Black-Bison

Another great bonus for us is the spacious boot. It seems each member of the family competes for the most hobbies, so at any given time the boot is a mish mash of cricket kit, fishing equipment and more. The boot's wide opening gives good easy access, too, which is great when you're stowing or removing heavy loads.

Safety features are included with the standard dual front airbags, side bags, head curtain side bags and driver knee airbags. In crash tests, the Lexus RX 400h Hybrid received 5 stars, the highest rating a vehicle can get, in side impact and head on collisions. The Four-Wheel drive suspension the controls the vehicles height varies with the driving conditions, a nice and unique feature. At 62 mph, the vehicle lowers by 0.3 inches when driving normally. In low mode it can shrink more, another 0.6 inches and 1.2 inches for easier passenger access when in access mode.

2010 Lexus LFA SE Limited Edition

Will soon be inaugurated the Lexus LFA SE Limited Edition, will come with canards and a fixed wing in CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer). This car will be available in Black, Matte Black, “Whitest White”, or Orange.

The engine of Lexus LFA SE Limited Edition’s power is said to get a boost from 560 to 570 horsepower (ECU work, most likely), and the suspension is “high-power-only”, whatever that means. The Special Edition’s SWs (special wheels) will be shod in grippy rubber (Haiguripputaiya), which should help get the power to the ground through the re-calibrated transmission. Whereas a regular LFA’s shift speed on a track day would be around 0.2 seconds, an SE owner’s rack day will get done just a hair quicker at 0.15 seconds.

2010 Lexus LS 600h – Design Update

The 2010 Lexus LS 600h has been updated with the sporty style and provide more comfort to passengers and drivers.

The re-design done according to the 2010 model starts from the bumper, revised grille, indicator repeaters in the door mirrors and new LED sidelights. The headlamps benefit from an automatic dipping system that uses a sensor in the rear view mirror to detect street lights and other vehicles, switching high beam on and off without driver intervention.

Designated passenger comfort and driver package is to provide a chair. Be more interested in the ‘Rear Seat Upgrade Package’ including four-zone climate control and electrically adjustable back seats. Long-wheelbase versions can now be specified with the optional ‘Relaxation Package’ on five as well as four-seat models. This gives the left-hand rear seat (on right-hand drive models) an electrically adjustable foot and thigh rest as well as a massage system.

In addition, drivers should also appreciate the new Brembo brakes. The front disks measure 380mm and are clamped by six-piston callipers. Lexus claims that stopping power has been improved by 12.5 percent. The LS 600h range starts at £90,660. The long wheelbase version with the Rear Seat Relaxation Package is £96,645.

2010 Lexus LX Invader by ASI

ASI is Japan’s tuning specialist this time handling the Lexus LX 570 full-size SUV needs a good ol’ bump in styling and performance. ASI has bigger plans than just the standard tune-job, though, with a nigh-600 horsepower package on the way. It should run to 60 in under 5 seconds.

Before, the tuner’s Invader package takes care of the looks, although there has been no news yet of what engine upgrades are supplied. With the basic 5.7 liter churning out 381 horsepower, any intake/exhaust/ECU tuning would likely bring that number above 400.

Little change in the body, the body kit’s nose looks decent, e.g. that front bumper is about 6 inches too tall. Lose the lower lip / fog light area and move everything higher.

2011 Lexus CT 200h F Sport

Lexus CT 200h F Sport makes world premiere on this week’s Australian International Motor Show (AIMS). Based oh hybrid tech added a number of visual and performance goodies.

Exterior, the CT 200h gets a sportier looking front bumper along with a honeycomb upper grille, beefier side skirts, and a reworked rear bumper that incorporates a diffuser. The larger alloy wheels in a gunmetal finish and the option of a unique Flame Blue color round off the exterior upgrades.

Interior of Lexus CT 200h F Sport will receive unique dashboard and door panel trims, plus F Sport steering wheel with a thicker rim, sports pedals, scuff plates, instrument panel and privacy glass.

Nothing different hybrid powertrain of CT 200h’s standard, CT 200h F Sport powered by which comprises a 1.8-litre VVT-i petrol engine, an electric motor and an electronically-controlled continuously variable transmission (E-CVT).

2011 Lexus CT 200h F-Sport Concept

The Japanese firm’s lineup in Las Vegas will include the RX 450h SUV tuned by Paul Tolson, a race-spec GS 450h sedan, the VIP Auto Salon-prepped HS 250h sedan and two modified LS 600h L limos.

That will also show off the Lexus CT 200h F-Sport concept fitted with 18-inch wheels shod in Pirelli P-Zero Nero 225/40 tires, a big brake kit with cross drilled rotors and an adjustable sport suspension.

2011 Lexus LFA

The new Lexus LFA marks an important moment in both the history of Lexus and the development of the supercar. A true “clean-sheet” design, the Lexus LFA was created by a small, passionate and dedicated team of engineers whose achievement has been to push the boundaries of technologies materials and engineering at every stage to produce a car like no other to have carried the Lexus badge.

Constructed using advanced carbon fibre technology, the rear-wheel drive Lexus LFA is powered by a bespoke, high-revving 552bhp 4.8-litre naturally aspirated V10 engine, matched to a rear-mounted six-speed sequential automatic transmission, giving 200mph-plus performance.

In the words of Chief Engineer Haruhiko Tanahashi: “The Lexus LFA is a thoroughbred supercar, a machine engineered to achieve a single goal – to deliver a supreme driving experience. Over the past decade we have pushed every boundary in pursuit of this goal and I believe we have created the most driver-orientated car we possibly could.”

CARBON FIBRE CONSTRUCTION

Keeping the car’s weight to an absolute minimum was one of the defining elements in the development of the Lexus LFA and this led to the decision to switch from using aluminium for the car’s construction to advanced Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) for the chassis and bodywork.

Moreover, Lexus decided the CFRP structure should be built in-house rather than by a third-party supplier. In doing so, it drew on Toyota Motor Corporation’s heritage in textile weaving technology to push the boundaries of its technical abilities, developing new carbon fibre looms and a laser system for monitoring the integrity of the material.

2009 Lexus IS C Custom

Fox Marketing is back for the 2010 SEMA show, following up last year’s tuned IS F with a supercharged 2010 Lexus IS350C. While Lexus’ hard-top cabrio may be an odd choice for a performance makeover, you can’t deny the equipment Fox used to create the lime green, 405 horsepower drop-top.
