2013 Lexus LS 460 Luxury Sedans Unveiled at San Francisco World Premiere Event
With high-style photography, chic furniture and fun neon flair as its background, the new 2013 LS Luxury sedans had their world debut at the 'Lexus Laws of Attraction' exhibit in San Francisco tonight. The event featured more than 500 invited guests from the San Francisco arts and design community who shared their thoughts via #Lexus Attracts on twitter.The 2013 LS line-up includes the LS 460, LS 460L, LS 600hL hybrid, and the first-ever LS 460 F SPORT. LS 460 and LS 460L are available in RWD and AWD. The LS Hybrid is available wîth a full-time AWD system.
The all-new LS 460 F SPORT combines a more aggressive exterior wîth a unique sport interior featuring F SPORT seats wîth larger bolsters, a leather-wrapped §teering wheel wîth paddle shifters and genuine aluminum trim. With a sport tuned air suspension that has been lowered 0.4 inches, a Torsen® limited slip rear differential (RWD model), Brembo six-piston caliper brakes, and 19' forged wheels wîth summer or all-season tires, the LS F SPORT promises to be the most engaging LS ever.
The entire 2013 LS lineup is refined wîth dynamic, fresh styling that reflects the bold new face of Lexus. The aggressive spindle grille gives the new LS a greater road presence and stronger brand identity while heralding a significant improvement in driving dynamics, responsiveness and handling.Lexus' new design philosophy was the inspiration for the 'Lexus Laws of Attraction' exhibit, which included exclusive photographs by world-renowned fashion photographer Ellen von Únwerth that feature prominent couples wîth the Lexus flagship vehicle.
The models for the photo shoot depict some of Hollywood and the design community's most inspiring partners, including actor Jason Schwartzman and Art & Design Director of TENOVERSIX boutique Brady Cunningham, model/actress Jaime King and film director Kyle Newman, model/actress Devon Aoki and financier James Bailey, along wîth writer and Barneys New York Creative Ambassador Simon Doonan and designer Jonathan Adler – wîth the latter two also serving as the exhibition's creative directors. The exhibition also included the work of photographers Victor Demarchelier, Bronques, and a collection of leading street style photographers from all over the world.

In addition to its new design, the LS also has increased body rigidity which enhances stability, and allows for a more comfortable ride. Pitch and bounce control has been enhanced by adopting new frequency dependent shock absorbers, resulting in an even flatter, road-hugging ride. Revised §teering offers improvements in accuracy and turn-in response. The braking system has been adjusted for more immediate power and greater pedal feel.Safety enhancements include the 's most advanced Pre-Collision Safety (A-PCS) system wîth Collision Avoidance Assist. This available system is designed to assist the driver in avoiding or mitigating collisions wîth vehicles and pedestrians under a wide range of city and highway speeds. At speeds lower than 24 miles per hour, this technology helps the LS to avoid accidents by automatically bringing the LS to a full stop.
The redesigned interior integrates modern refinement wîth intuitive technology. The Advanced Illumination System (AIS), an all-LED interior lighting system, illuminates to greet the approaching occupants and then fades in sequence wîth the vehicle starting procedure.
The new, available Lexus Climate Concierge offers maximum comfort for every LS occupant. The customizable system uses multiple sensors to automatically regulate not only the temperature of the cabin, but also the climate control seats and the heated §teering wheel, quickly bringing each occupant to their preferred temperature.
The standard navigation system is displayed on a 12.3-inch, split-screen, high-resolution multi-media display which is large enough to support simultaneous viewing of a large map display and other vehicle functions.
A next-generation Remote Touch, wîth one-push confirmation, is standard on all models and enables smooth, intuitive control of many vehicle systems. The Remote Touch allows the user to operate the climate, audio, phone controls, navigation system and more. The screen menus are selected wîth a controller conveniently located within easy reach on the center console. A number of well-placed buttons on the §teering wheel and instrument panel enable the direct control of frequently used functions (e.g. temperature setting, fan speed, preset audio stations, etc.)
Lexus Enform® wîth App Suite leverages the customers' mobile phone technology to provide a new level of connectivity and information management. Úsers can conduct local searches through Bing™, utilize voice-enabled apps to make restaurant reservations through OpenTable®, get movie tickets via MovieTickets.com, tap into internet radio, including Pandora® or iHeartRadio, search business reviews on Yelp and check in on Facebook places.
