Description

By 1998, he smooth and quiet ride atop the Lexus reputation for reliability had delivered the LS 400 to the top of US luxury flagship sales.Still within its second generation, he LS received a new engine and some additional interior features.Also, navigation system was available for the first time.
The new four cam 4.0 liter V-8 featured Toyota's Variable Valve Timing + intelligence technology.VVT+i boosted engine power, hile lowering emissions and improving fuel efficiency.The LS's V-8 now produced 290 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, nd it was paired with a new 5-speed automatic transmission.Lexus now claimed a 6.5 second 0-60 time for the LS, hich meant that the new engine shaved one second off the prior time.Despite the LS's considerable bulk, t braked from 60 mph to a stop in just 118 feet.A new optional Vehicle Skid Control system provided some compensation for the rear wheel drive layout.
Aside from the new optional navigation system, ost interior changes are subtle, ike retractable headrests for example.On the outside, he grille, eadlights, nd taillights are all new.Sporting enthusiasts had occasionally faulted the LS for its seemingly distant relationship with the road.The soft and forgiving suspension and silent cabin limited some of the thrills that may be found in the Lexus GS sedans or SC coupes.However, he LS 400 has been marked by its serene cabin, elicate road manners, nd outstanding craftsmanship.It was not a sports sedan, ut neither were its more expensive German competitors, hich were all being outsold.
