The LS430 is a large, rear-drive sedan, powered by a 4.3-litre, dual overhead cam V8 pumping out 207kW of power and 417Nm of torque. Chief designer of the Lexus LS430, Makoto Ooshima, told American industry journal automotive News the car’s design was inspired by the Japanese bullet train as the car was tested in the same wind tunnel. The maker claims the LS430 is the most aerodynamic sedan in the world, with a drag coefficient of 0.25. (An average family sedan is 0.32.)

The 2005 Toyota Lexus LS 430 has powered door-closing system, which pulls the doors tight against the seals. The headlight beams swivel by 15 degrees left or right to follow the road according to speed and steering input and there’s a reversing camera that transmits images to a 7in screen that also displays sat-nav information. Voice recognition technology responds to about 300 commands for the navigation, audio and air-conditioning, while Bluetooth technology permits cable-free use of mobile phones and the like. A tyre pressure monitoring system is low-tech in comparison. (more…)

Standard 16 inch alloy wheels, with the option of 17 inch alloy or chrome wheels, add to the eye appeal of the new 2007 Lexus ES 350. A power moonroof is also an appealing feature, which is included in select models.

Safety is a large factor in today’s automobile industry, which is why the 2007 Lexus ES 350 features HID Headlamps to help illuminate additional space of the road ahead and also helps to reduce the glare to oncoming traffic. Integrated foglamps, as the name implies, will help to improve visibility when the driver encounters fog. Auto-dimming mirrors and rain-sensing wipers are added safety features found on the 2007 Lexus ES 350. (more…)
