There’s no stopping Lexus! The firm that once copied its German rivals is now heading out on its own, and on sale next January is this – its all-new flagship, the LS460. Behind the conservative lines lies a host of new technology, from a collision warning system that can even brake for the driver in an accident, to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Under the bonnet lies a new whisper-quiet 380bhp 4.6-litre V8 engine while air suspension makes for an incredibly smooth ride. Inside there’s an amazing amount of space, especially in the rear, with electrical goodies such as a 10-speaker Mark Levinson stereo and touch-screen satellite navigation as standard.
On sale: January 2007 Engine: 4.6-litre V8, 380bhp 0-62mph: 5.7 seconds Price: approx £60,000
