Lexus called in Yamaha, a prominent musical instrument manufacturer, to acoustically tune the engine of the original LS.

Lexus employs a team of specialized inspectors to examine the paint on Lexus’ vehicles. These inspectors are required to take a special exam four times a year to ensure their skills remain up to par.

Lexus Uses The Best Leather

The leather that Lexus uses to upholster their seats is from the hides of cows that are not kept within barbed wire. This ensures perfect quality of the leather.
