LEXUS LS The 2017 Lexus LS offers a raft of driver-assist technologies, including the Advanced Pre-Collision System with Collision Avoidance Assist. This system is designed to assist the driver in avoiding or mitigating frontal collisions with vehicles and pedestrians, under certain conditions. At speeds lower than 24 mph, this technology can help the driver to avoid accidents by automatically bringing the LS to a full stop. The car mounts a 4.6-liter V8 teamed with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Its 386 horsepower (359 hp with AWD) and 367 lb.ft. of torque move the LS 460 to highway speeds with consummate ease.
