LS

8 SPEED AUTOMATIC

Lexus developed the world’s first 8-speed automatic transmission for the LS 460. The result is a transmission which provides the best of both worlds, capable of delivering rapid acceleration yet returning good fuel economy.

The 8-speed gearbox is light and compact and its new hydraulic control technology provides an extremely smooth shift feel. Leading-edge technology ensures multiple gearshift capability, rather than the conventional single ratio change at a time, which optimises torque transfer in all conditions. Not only is the gearshift smooth, it’s also extremely rapid.

A world-first from Lexus. 8-speed transmission for ultra-smooth and economic performance.
