The wall surrounding the 2013 Lexus LS has completely broken with some
30 or so high-resolution photos of both the regular LS 460 and the F-Sport
variant of the same model flooding the web-o-sphere.
Taking into consideration the fact that the current generation of the LS has
been with us since 2006 with Lexus performing a mild makeover in 2009, when the
company announced that it was preparing a new model, we believed that it would
be just that and not another facelift.
The exterior redesign is concentrated exclusively on the two ends of the car
with the front gaining a version of the Japanese brand's spindle grille, new
headlamps (very similar to the ones found on the outgoing Hybrid model),
reshaped fenders and a new hood that includes a bulge running along the middle.
At the back, there are restyled and darkened tail lamps connected with a
chrome strip, a re-sculptured boot and a new bumper design.
Making its debut on the 2013 model is the new LS 460 F Sport edition packing
a more muscular appearance thanks to a different front bumper that accommodates
chunkier side air vents, a front grille with a mesh pattern, side skirts, a
diffuser positioned between the tail pipes and bespoke alloy wheels.
We don't for know sure yet, but if the F Sport versions of the RX crossover,
GS sedan, and CT hatchback are anything to go by, then the LS 460 F Sport will
have sportier interior trim and suspension tuning but no engine upgrades.
While there are no photos of the interior, a close up from one of the rear
facing pictures suggests that Lexus has overhauled the center console and added
a large LCD screen on top of the air vents.
The Japanese carmaker has said that the 2013 LS will be available as the LS
460, LS 460 L long wheelbase, LS 600h L hybrid sedan and the all-new LS 460 F
SPORT, with the car's debut to take place on Monday, July 30, at which point, we
will be able to give you all the details.
