2007 Lexus LS 460 and LS 460 L to arrive in October

Lexus plans to bring the first lot of its flagship limousines, the Lexus LS 460 and the stretched LS 460 L, sometime in October. The vehicles, set to compete against luxurious BMW 750i, will exhibit more power, better fuel economy, and faster acceleration, KickingTires reports.







The Lexus LS 460 will be equipped with a V8 gasoline engine with dual fuel induction system, featuring a maximum of 380 horsepower and 370 lb-ft (502 Nm) of maximum torque. Being mated to the world's first eight-speed gearbox, the LS 460 accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 5.4-5.5 seconds and features quite decent mileage, getting about 19/27 city/highway mpg.

KickingTires estimates the LS 460 to cost somewhere in the mid-$60s, which is way over the current LS 430's $57,220 sticker price.
