Lexus LS 460

The new eight-cylinder sedan - the Lexus LS 460, gives the impression that the Japanese are the European brands times really wanted to show to what technologies and what they are capable of luxury.

2008 Lexus LS 460


Lexus LS 460

Equally defiant acts of price beyond the 80.000er mark for the basic configuration. The fact is also in the basic version has almost completely equipped on its 18-inch wheels.


Lexus LS 460

The price includes such fine details as Bi-Xenon cornering light, adaptive chassis with air suspension, an integrated vehicle dynamics package includes electronic stability program, variable steering translation, leather comfort seats with memory function for the driver's seat, automatic climate control, CD audio system, DVD navigation, parking and a smart entry and start system - everything for the luxury, the rapid advancement and security.


Lexus LS 460

Before we too swarm come, we want to take a look at the weaknesses throw. The interior dimensions move somewhere in the upper middle class. Who is for the four-zone air conditioning decides to have 80 litres of 510 litres of luggage space refrain.


Lexus LS 460

That's it, but also what the first driver noticed negative impressions. Of course provides the newly designed eight-cylinder gasoline engine capacity of 4.6 litres a good job. 280 kW / 380 hp at 6400 revolutions per minute (rpm) and a maximum torque of nearly 500 Newton metres at 4100 rpm speak a clear language , but not loud. The Lexus LS 460 is still the measure of all things in terms of road noise.


Lexus LS 460

More silently go faster and hardly rare. The Lexus LS 460 accelerates in 5.7 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h and can only urge its next at 250 km / h. The consumption for the nearly 2.5-t sedan is expected to average at little more than eleven litres.


Lexus LS 460

The Lexus LS 460 carries each aware of what the electronics in the car today capable. It helps to keep track, while driving, while Dodge, the brakes, and now even parking, which in a car of more than five meters in length, quite interesting can be. Going to a park gap over and lays the reverse gear of 8-step automatic, the system knows whether the vehicle there.


Lexus LS 460

The driver controls the process only with the brake. It must, however, after reversing again "by hand" front, the car just to be considered. The LS is the Intelligent Parking Assist also automatic as a Toyota Prius, but not yet fully automated.


Lexus LS 460

Warns the Lexus LS 460 before approaching an obstacle, which he thanks to the combination of camera and radar identified as such. If the driver does not act, reduces the speed of the vehicle, the driver will operate and evade, helps the Lexus a number of ways: the steering is direct, the vibration in the curve is reduced and the steering indicates.


Lexus LS 460

The sensors look to the driver's face. It see is not on the road, is distracted, it is. Is it attentive, waiting for them? The same goes for the bus lane assistants. The reports not only when a line is over, the driver without the indicator set. Does the system, it keeps the car between the lines.


Lexus LS 460

These are just three of many helpers in the background effects when they are not asking about their work with characters, sounds and language to report. Sum of the assistants is certainly impressive.

Lexus LS 460

The question must therefore be allowed to whether its Lexus drivers from the control of the hands. The answer to that question has two parts: First, a legal: The driver is always the responsibility. And secondly an emotional: Perhaps it is precisely at such convenient long haul limousines safer when on long-haul someone with careful. Four eyes see more than just two. The same goes for TV eyes and radar.

Lexus LS 460

After so much theory view of a car and on its properties. The Lexus LS 460 follows in its proportions to that of its 7-BMW with a long snout, elegant recently roof and rear overhang. Its sight from the front is typical Lexus with a big, smiling chrome grill. Its broad shoulders forward, and many carefully designed details give it its distinctive character of restraint and force.

Lexus LS 460

Inside it will be overwhelmed by an abundance of switches and knobs, allegedly intended for the Americans, which is not too much to expect. Many Europeans, however, this diversity as not classify the times, even if they are on long-haul routes out to be entertaining. Nevertheless, we rarely saw a so carefully sophisticated cockpit.

Lexus LS 460

The Lexus LS 460 shows its luxury to the driver and his passengers, but not the outside world. Also, he hides his performance in front of the other. But under its plate is a rounder. It travels almost perfect, whether it is now US soft or would prefer something sporty.

Lexus LS 460

With very brief jolts of the road penetrate to the inside. Otherwise it moves through the traffic, as though you are a part of the perfect video game - always Lord of the situation, and yet with distance from the rough and noisy reality.

Lexus LS 460

Sun recommends the Lexus LS 460 for the old friends that mark, and for those that are not necessarily the other premium brands and drive a good car still call their own.

Drunk on the power output? Bugatti Galibier concept runs on ethanol

Bugatti Galibier concept - Click above for high-res image gallery

After months of speculation, Bugatti has finally pulled the wraps off its new four-door supercar concept just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show at an event for past customers and Bugatti-intenders. Up to this point, we've been referring to the French über-sedan as the Bordeaux, but it seems the actual car's moniker will be Galibier – the name of a difficult Alpine pass along the Tour de France.

Powering the Galibier concept will be a version of Bugatti's ridiculously powerful eight-liter W16 powerplant. Unlike the mill propelling the Veyron to ludicrous speed, this version is mounted up front and is capable of running on ethanol fuel, which may or may not allow the automaker to squeeze a few more ponies out of the engine... not that it needs it, of course. Plus, when swilling as much alcohol as the Galibier would be likely to ingest, it's hard to think of a car like this as eco-friendly.

One of the Galibier's most striking features is undoubtedly its two-tone outer shell, which is comprised of both polished aluminum for the doors and front fenders and a unique dark blue carbon fiber weave that shines through when illuminated. We also note a prominent center spine that recalls past Bugattis like the Type 35 and the classically beautiful Type 57.

Current reports peg the Galibier's top speed at 217 miles per hour (350 kilometers per hour), which, while slower than the Veyron's epic terminal velocity, is certainly nothing to sneeze at. Check out our gallery of high-res images below.

The maximum torque is 1250 Nm, between 2,200 and 5,500 rpm. That the actual average pressure reaches a very large (1964 kPa) indicates that this engine not only draws strength from having lots of engine capacity or many turbochargers; to a normal level would also be an engine with great force. There are few engines that give so much strength relative to its engine capacity (of the Aston Martin DB7 and, above all, the Mitsubishi Carisma Evo VII).
