LX Performance Multi-Terrain Select and Monitor
The LX570 is fitted with advanced off-road technologies, including Multi-terrain ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) and Crawl Control. For peerless command of wilderness conditions, Multi-terrain Select (Optional) adjusts multiple vehicle systems to negotiate the terrain selected: Mud & Sand, Loose Rock, Mogul, Rock & Dirt or Rock. At low speeds, Crawl Control intelligently applies throttle and braking operations, optimized by Multi-terrain ABS. This enables the driver to focus fully on steering in demanding off-road conditions.
LX Performance Unstoppable 4WD Performance
The LX570 is one of most capable 4WD vehicles ever built, thanks in part to its advanced traction, braking and suspension systems. But it is not just about toughness and durability. Inside you’ll enjoy a quiet and smooth ride, the product of a chassis frame designed to separate the suspension from the bodyshell, to help prevent noise and vibration entering the cabin. Full-time four-wheel drive gives you confidence on slippery surfaces, while a rugged TORSEN LSD (Limited Slip Differential) automatically directs power to the wheels that need it most.
LX Performance Peerless Engineering
The LX570 development program focused on ensuring drivers can travel on or off-road with equal composure. This requires an exceptionally strong chassis, but not at the expense of comfort and refinement. The solution is a unique high-tensile steel chassis frame with the strength to resist the twisting forces of uneven terrain. The rigidity of the chassis lets you take on rough terrain, ford rivers and climb mountainsides with ease. In fact the LX570 was test-driven in some of the most challenging conditions that the world could offer.
LX_ Performance Outstanding V8 Power
The LX570 luxury SUV is powered by the largest engine ever fitted to a Lexus. Equiped with a 5.7 Liter Engine, delivering 362HP of output and 54.0kg-m of torque, it works seamlessly with a very flexible 6-speed automatic transmission with optional paddle shift switches for both dynamic and smooth gear changes. It will accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 7.8 seconds up to a top speed of 220km/h (electronically limited). With its V8 cylinder block die-cast in lightweight yet strong aluminum alloy, it is also an engine that will last – providing great reliability and durability.
IS F_Performance_Low Drag
While aerodynamic styling gives the IS F a signature look, more importantly, it results in a balanced reduction of lift to help produce increased control at high speeds. The front fascia, hood, underbody and rear spoiler of the IS F have all been specifically shaped to optimize airflow over, under and around the vehicle.
IS F_Performance_World-Class Shifting
The lightning-fast eight-speed Sport Direct-Shift transmission on the IS F was the world's first, and it uses a special lockup clutch for improved responsiveness, plus a control system that enables virtually instant manual up-shifts (as quick as 0.1 seconds) and throttle blips on downshifts, giving the driver full control over gear selection.
IS F_Performance_Sharpen Every Corner
Carving up the road requires finesse. Double-wishbone front and multilink rear suspension systems include shock absorbers with stiff springs and large stabilizer bars optimized to precisely control body, wheel and suspension motion. And for increased traction and performance in turns, a torque-sensing limited-slip TORSEN® rear differential matches available engine power to changing traction conditions of the rear wheels.
