Straight up to engine specs : LS500 (shown in the pic) >twin-turbocharged, direct-injected 3.5-liter V-6 >415 horsepower >442 lb-ft of torque That's close to V8 levels of power because it's main competitors such as the Mercedes's S550 puts out 449hp and BMW's 750i puts out 445hp.
>Aisin-supplied 10-speed automatic transmission >RWD as standard and AWD as optional >Lexus claims a 0-60 timing of 4.5 seconds (RWD)
As of now Lexus has not released any details regarding a V8 powertrain , F-Sport Trim and a hybrid-powertrain.
The interior is completely re-designed from the ground up.
>12.3-inch central display screen is controlled by a new version of Lexus’s remote touch interface, with a new, supposedly more smartphone-like operation that should improve on the clunkiness of the current mouse-like pad.

Other interior features include. >As in the LC, twist knobs to select the drive mode and stability-control setting are mounted on top of the gauge pod, a nod to Lexus’s LFA supercar.
>Lavishly appointed 28-way power front seats with a massage function are an option, and a rear-seat luxury package offers heating, cooling, and massage for passengers there.
>Curiously, Lexus is relatively mum on the LS’s semi-autonomous driving capability, saying only that the LS500 will offer the Lexus Safety System + array of features (adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, automated emergency braking, and automatic high-beams) along with an optional Advanced Safety package. The latter will include a new pedestrian-detection system that can brake and steer the car around a pedestrian.
