LS 460 Performance - The Pursuit for Perfection has dramatically gained momentum.

4.6L Quad Cam V8

Feel the rush of an all alloy, quad cam V8 engine as it accelerates you. Its 280kW of power is urged along by direct and port injection, yet returning fuel economy* of 11.1 L/100 km, and low Euro IV compliant emissions.

World's first 8-speed automatic transmission

Experience a new sensation of smoothness with the almost imperceptible gear shifts of the first ever 8-speed automatic transmission. The electronically-controlled transmission is equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) shift control, so it anticipates the right gear on hills, and minimises unnecessary shifts. Alternatively, sequential mode lets you take matters into your own hands.

The health of each engine verified by stethoscope

You'll barely hear the engine running, thanks to precision engineering. After assembly, every engine is run at high speed and a skilled technician listens intently through a stethoscope, checking for any abnormal sounds. Any necessary adjustments are then made before it is given a clean bill of health.

The flexibility of Dual VVT-i

To ensure crisp response at all engine speeds, the world's first electric motor driven Variable Valve Timing (VVT-i) continually retunes valve timing, while mechanically-driven VVT-i optimises the exhaust valve timing.

Fingertip control with Electric Power Steering (EPS)

Enjoy improved steering efficiency when parking yet greater road feel at high speeds, thanks to an advanced Electric Power Steering system. In addition, Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS) helps produce excellent handling and drivability by adjusting steering response according to speed.

You're cushioned on air suspension

For blissful ride quality, computer controlled Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) continually tailors ride quality dependent on road conditions. Alternatively you may select your own ride settings for personalised precision and control.

The reassurance of self levelling

To provide maximum comfort and safety when heavily laden or driving on uneven surfaces, Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) maintains the optimum ride height and vehicle composure, regardless of load.
