2018 Lexus LS 500 F SPORT Chassis
While the 2018 Lexus LS 500 will share many mechanical features of the standard LS 500 (including the all-new 415 horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 engine which offers 442 pound-feet of torque and premium fun), its chassis is designed to deliver a more sporty and breathtaking driving experience. Tuned for engaging handling, the 2018 Lexus LS 500 F SPORT features Lexus’ latest Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) technology. This system can fine-tune braking, suspension, steering, and powertrain response to deliver a custom driving experience.
The 2018 Lexus LS 500 F SPORT will also feature a 10-speed automatic transmission and be available with the 2018 Lexus LS hybrid powertrain option.
F SPORT Grille and Other Styling Highlights
In addition to powerful powertrain options and a responsive chassis set-up, the 2018 Lexus LS 500 F SPORT will also boast unique interior and exterior visual cues. Some highlights include:
- F SPORT-exclusive front seat with ultrasuede
- Unique front grille and sporty enlarged side grille
- Grille-patterned seating surfaces
- Scored aluminum trim and available Circuit Red interior
- Exclusive Ultra White exterior color
- F SPORT badging on fenders
