The 2009 Lexus LS 460 from Park Place Lexus Mission Viejo in Orange County

Posted by Park Place Lexus Mission Viejo in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, CA on Oct 22, 2008

The New Platinum Standard. Innovative, inspiring and courageous, the all-new 2009 Lexus LS  from Park Place Lexus Mission Viejo is the essence of a singular desire - to build the most sophisticated sedan on the road.

From the world's first eight-speed automatic transmission, first available hands-free computer-controlled parallel parking, first available infrared sensor that reads body temperature for optimum cabin climate, and rear seating as luxurious as a private jet, the Lexus LS  from Park Place Lexus Mission Viejo is the new standard in the relentless pursuit of perfection.

Eight forward gears.  One reverse.  Call it priorities.
 
Call it a world's first.  Coupled to a new, incredibly powerful 4.6-liter V8, generating 380 horsepower and 367 lb-ft of torque the eight-speed automatic transmission finds 60 miles per hour in 5.4 incredibly smooth seconds.

Performance

Through intelligent engineering, the LS offers significantly more power than ever before.  Its unique fuel-injection system utilizes both port and direct injectors for more precise delivery of fuel and better management of the air/fuel ratio in the combustion chamber.  Part of what makes this direct injection so efficient is the piston's contour, which directs a richer concentration of gasoline toward the spark plug - resulting in more intense combustion.

The powerful 4.6-liter engine is the world's first V8 to combine both port and direct fuel injection. With a high horsepower-to-liter ratio, it has the power of a larger engine. The LS 460 accelerates from 0 to 60 in as few as 5.4 seconds.



Interior
Reason enough to hire a chauffeur.  Climb into the back of a  Lexus LS 460 L  from Park Place Lexus Mission Viejo equipped with the special-order Executive-Class Seating Package, and you enter the opulence of a private jet.  There is a rear-passenger-side, leather-trimmed, 45-degree reclining seat, complete with a legrest, DVD entertainment system, fold-out worktable and multifunction seat massager, all for unmatched comfort.

Safety
Comfort in the Lexus LS from Park Place Lexus Mission Viejo is furthered through groundbreaking safety innovations, including an available Pre-Collision System that uses radar to detect possible obstacles ahead and, if an accident is inevitable, retracts front seatbelts while preparing Brake Assist for increased brakeforce.  As well, the LS 460  utilizes Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) to greatly assist the driver in anticipating and helping correct a skid during cornering.  And in every LS, you'll find the confidence of an entire system of airbags, from dual-stage front airbags for frontal collisions to side airbags built into the front seats, side curtain airbags that run the length of the side windows, and even knee airbags to help protect the driver and front passenger.
