Durable Replacement Parts for the Toyota Lexus LS430 now
Available at Parts Train
The LS430 is a large, rear-drive sedan, powered by a 4.3-litre,
dual overhead cam V8 pumping out 207kW of power and 417Nm of
torque. Chief designer of the Lexus LS430, Makoto Ooshima, told
American industry journal automotive News the car's design was
inspired by the Japanese bullet train as the car was tested in
the same wind tunnel. The maker claims the LS430 is the most
aerodynamic sedan in the world, with a drag coefficient of 0.25.
(An average family sedan is 0.32.)
The 2005 Toyota Lexus LS 430 has powered door-closing system,
which pulls the doors tight against the seals. The headlight
beams swivel by 15 degrees left or right to follow the road
according to speed and steering input and there's a reversing
camera that transmits images to a 7in screen that also displays
sat-nav information. Voice recognition technology responds to
about 300 commands for the navigation, audio and
air-conditioning, while Bluetooth technology permits cable-free
use of mobile phones and the like. A tyre pressure monitoring
system is low-tech in comparison.
The latest version of the 32-valve V8 engine uses less fuel and
produces less noxious emissions. The engine is mated to a
six-speed automatic transmission with Shift Logic Control that
responds to road grade and acceleration/deceleration activity. A
Sequential Shift feature also allows the driver to control
gearshifts manually, if desired.
