Luxury limo concept previews new Lexus LS

A new LS is the only piece missing from Lexus’ “L-Finesse” model range puzzle. But this LF-Sh concept, unveiled at the Tokyo show today, is surely the new LS by another name.

The concept is less dramatic than the new IS and GS four door models, but still a huge leap forward compared with the existing LS. Watch this space for technical details…

Update:
As expected, the concept is powered by a hybrid drivetrain. Approximate outputs are 400bhp for the petrol V8 and an additional 100bhp for the electric motor. Also, visit the lounge music infested official Lexus website for some Bacardi-drenched promo videos covering all the Lexus cars at the Tokyo show, including the rather wonderful LF-A V10 supercar.
