2008 Lexus LS Review
Overview
The 2008 Lexus LS the ultimate in luxury design and performance. The powerful all-new 4.6-liter engine is the world’s first V8 to combine both port and direct fuel injection. With a high horsepower-to-liter ratio it has the power of a larger engine. It accelerates from 0 to 60 in a mere 5.4 seconds using the world’s first eight-speed automatic transmission offering the perfect blend of acceleration smooth shifting and fuel efficiency. Sink into the comfort of available semi-aniline power leather-trimmed front and rear seats with the Lexus Memory System to hold your favorite seating position. Luxurious details make all the difference with an available rear-seat cool box power sunshades stylish LED interior lighting and an Alcantara headliner. A front-mounted millimeter-wave radar sensor on the available Pre-Collision System constantly monitors the distance and closing speed of a vehicle ahead. When the system's computer determines that a frontal collision is unavoidable the PCS preemptively tightens the front seatbelts and preps the Brake Assist for increased braking pressure the moment the driver steps on the brake pedal. The 2008 Lexus LS the corporate jet may get jealous!
