STORY

The LS launched Lexus in 1989 as chairman Eiji Toyoda's 'F1' flagship, engineered over six years to challenge Mercedes-Benz and BMW on refinement, aerodynamics and build quality. Its very quiet 1UZ-FE V8 and close attention to noise, vibration and harshness changed expectations for luxury sedans and made Lexus a known name in the United States almost at once. Later generations added technology, with the world's first eight-speed automatic and a V8 hybrid, before the current LS moved to a twin-turbo V6 and a coupe-like design.
