Sleek and bold, the redesigned 2007 Lexus LS 460 is touted to be the crowning touch of the luxury automaker’s rejuvenated sedan lineup. Boasting style taken from Lexus’s new design direction, L-Finesse, the new 2007 LS 460’s upscale accoutrements include real-time traffic updates on a navigation screen, and a Mark Levinson Surround Sound System with 19 speakers and a built-in, hard-drive audio server that holds 4,000 songs. Additionally, the new 2007 Lexus LS 460, which is now started by a “smart card,” is so smart it can park itself, using its Intelligent Park Assist system that simply requires pushing a button, and a little brake work.

Lexus promises “startling” performance with its “world’s-first” eight-speed automatic transmission. The advanced transmission is connected to an all-new, 4.6-liter V8 that will produce 380 horsepower and 370 lb.-ft. of torque, allowing the LS 460 to travel from zero to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. But don’t think Lexus, renowned for ride and materials quality, has forgotten about the comfort quotient. The 2007 LS 460 is offered with a rear-seat ottoman package, which includes a right-side seat that reclines up to 45 degrees, and has an adjustable leg rest and massager.
