Lexus LS 460

The LS Series is the flagship sedan from Lexus like BMW’s 7-Series or Audi’s A8. Being one of the top end model of Lexus, LS 460 has it all one would expect from a luxury sedan, it is big, it is comfortable and it is packed with all the latest features. The Lexus LS 460 is available in two main variant, the regular 460 and 460 L with extended-wheelbase. In year 2011 LS 460 remains almost unchanged apart from the adjustable air suspension, which become an optional feature from standard and addition of a standard brake override system.
