Lexus LS 460 SZ: Sporty Variant said to Debut at Tokyo Show this Fall

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 | 5 Comments » Categories | , , , |

News just in from Japan: in its July issue, Best Car magazine is reporting that Lexus will reveal a sportier variant of its LS 460 luxury sedan at the Tokyo Motor Show in October. The magazine claims that the car will carry the SZ moniker and that it will feature a subtle aerokit that includes a new grille treatment plus uprated Brembo brakes and BBS alloy wheels shod in chunkier tires. The LS 460 SZ is estimated to cost in Japan between 9 and 10 million Yen or around to $100,000 US.

There's no mention of any upgrades under the hood so it is possible that the SZ may simply be a special Japanese-market model / trim-level. But as is the case with these kind of rumor-reports, we'll just have to wait for Lexus to come out with something official before we make any definite conclusions.

    At least this $100K will have a much greater ROI than investing $100K on a Cadillac XLR, whose depreciation is already 30-35% the moment you drive it off the lot.

    The 2009 Lexus LS 460 luxury sedan offers comfort, exceptional refinement and true value for money spent. Lexus is a sedan car that provides good material quality. The steering is so comfortable to hold as it is sewn with ultra soft stitching. This model is a premium model and is designed for luxury rather than for holding cargo. However the trunk is adequate for most travel needs.
