Lexus LS 500

A brand new design comes into play for the Lexus LS series in 2018. The Lexus LS 500 has a bold yet business-like appearance that includes the three-dimensional hourglass grille, LED signature lighting and dramatic body lines. Inside, the LS 500 is all-new also with retro-style door handles, hand-pleated door panels, organic wood accents, heated and ventilated massaging front and rear seats with butterfly headrests, and an available 2,400-watt Mark Levinson 3D-surround sound system. There’s a 24-inch full-color heads-up display system and even a Kiriko glass interior trim option, which is the first of its kind.

But what makes this car one of the best performance luxury cars is found under the hood. A V6 is being used for the first time ever in the LS series. It’s a twin-turbo 3.5-liter that makes 416 horsepower and 440 lb.-ft. of torque. It’s not the most powerful on the list, but its 4.6-second 0-to-60mph time is nothing to shake a stick at, and certainly not the slowest.
