The LS takes advantage of the FR platform that Lexus refined for the LC to optimize front-to-rear weight distribution and the moment of inertia. The result is natural, smooth vehicle dynamics when cornering, accelerating and decelerating. The adoption of a low driving position and a layout that keeps the driver’s hip point and the vehicle’s center of gravity close together minimizes the distance between the driver and the axis of rotation, heightening the driver’s feeling of oneness with the car. In this way, the packaging meticulously refines the inertia characteristics to deliver excellent response along with smooth, stable changes in posture during the sequence of movements involved in cornering.
