Tuesday, June 7, 2011Lexus IS 350, 2009
Wednesday, September 1, 2010Lexus IS 350, 2009
Inside the Lexus IS,
Lexus enhanced form and function with a revised instrument panel center cluster. The paddle shifters now function in D mode, and some controls have been changed for improved convenience. The rear seat headrests are now foldable to aid rear visibility. New interior colors include Ecru (replacing Cashmere) and Light Gray (replacing Sterling), both accented by new contrast stitching on the seats, door panels, and console lid.
Engine/Transmission/Drivetrain/Performance
The 2009 Lexus IS line offers three models: The rear-wheel-drive Lexus IS 350, the rear-drive Lexus IS 250 and an all-wheel drive Lexus IS 250. The IS 250's 2.5-liter V6 engine delivers 204 horsepower at 6,400 RPM and 185 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 4,800 rpm. The Lexus IS 350's 3.5-liter V6 delivers 306 horsepower at 6,400 RPM along with 277 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,800 rpm and can accelerate the car from zero-to-60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. Both engines use aluminum cylinder blocks and heads and employ dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), which controls timing on both the intake and exhaust camshafts.
A direct-type fuel-injection system provides a cooling effect in the cylinders, enabling the high compression needed to extract maximum energy from the fuel. Aside from its larger displacement, the 3.5-liter V6 differs chiefly in that it augments the direct fuel injection with port fuel injectors. In light- and medium-load conditions, these additional injectors help produce a precise burn, increasing power and efficiency. A dual exhaust system reduces backpressure at higher engine speeds. All 2009 Lexus IS models meet the Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle II (ULEV II) certification
Chassis/Body/Suspension/Tires/Brakes
The Lexus IS is engineered to provide for a sporty driving experience. Its double-wishbone front suspension features a high-mount upper control arm, and the lower arm uses a large, liquid-filled bushing at the rear to minimize vibration and harshness. The multilink rear suspension emphasizes precise control of geometry in all dynamic conditions, helping make the Lexus IS sport sedans ultra-stable for confident driving. High-strength steel and aluminum suspension components reduce unsprung weight, helping the Lexus IS remain stable on bumpy surfaces and improving ride comfort.
Safety/Security Features
Passive-safety technology in the Lexus IS begins with a reinforced passenger compartment that helps protect the occupants with front- and rear-crush structures. Seatbelt pre-tensioners and force limiters are used for the front and outboard rear seats.
In addition to the dual-front airbags and front seat-mounted side airbags, the Lexus Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) for the Lexus IS includes side-curtain airbags that extend from A-pillar to C-pillar, and a knee airbag for both the driver and the front passenger. Advanced dual-stage front airbags are designed to deploy at one of two speeds, according to impact force. The driver's front airbag also includes an extra low stage designed to deploy based, in part, on the seat's position on its track. The front passenger airbag features two chambers, creating an indentation in the center impact area that helps to disperse the force of the bag.
Luxury/Comfort/Convenience
Standard amenities for the Lexus IS models include 10-way power front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control with rear-seat vents and a pollen filter (plus a smog filter on Lexus IS 350), power moonroof with one-touch open/close and seven open-position settings, manual tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, all power windows with automatic up/down feature and jam protection, and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. The Lexus IS 250 AWD model in addition features standard heated, leather-trimmed seats.
Luxury Options
A Premium Plus Package that is optional for all Lexus IS models includes wood trim, perforated leather seating trim and heated and ventilated front seats. The comprehensive "Sport" and "Luxury" option packages also include three-position memory for seats, steering wheel and outside mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, power tilt and telescopic steering column and auto-dimming outside mirrors.
Exterior Design
The Lexus IS sedans show a strong family resemblance to the Lexus GS models while establishing their own distinctively sporty identity. A notably wide stance and long wheelbase, coupled with tightly drawn bodywork, give the Lexus IS an athletic, road-hungry yet sophisticated style. Carefully shaped body contours, a subtle ducktail-curved trunk lid and "air kick" tail lamps contribute to a low 0.28 coefficient of drag (Cd).
Interior Design
The Lexus IS models' luxurious cabin features intelligently designed displays and controls that are easy to see and use. Bright, clear Optitron gauges and smartly integrated metallic trim, or available Bird's-eye Maple trim, help create an elegant yet sporty environment. Premium interior materials and meticulous attention to detail convey the Lexus identity.

SPESIFIKASI Lexus LS460
Wednesday, July 7, 2010SPESIFIKASI Lexus LS460
Beginning last July, announces that Toyota Motor Corp. announced the withdrawal or TMC for repair of some Lexus models, between the LS460, IS, and GS. Improvements also occurred in the Crown which totals 270 000 units.
The problem is often the engine suddenly died. However, the TMC has not received any reports of casualties related to the problem. Lexus Indonesia had not yet received any instructions from the center.
Coinciding with the event for Toyota Car Tree at the Hotel Four Seasons, Johnny Darmawan, Indonesia Principal Lexus, Lexus of Indonesia asserted that the taxable withdrawals for improvement (recall). "Specifically, LS460 and LS600 types whose numbers between 50 and 60 units," continued Johnny who is also president director of PT Toyota Astra Motor.
Steps taken by Indonesia to recall this Lexus is a call or come visit the shop. Now, go Johnny, it was the way to improvement. "Components will be sent from the TMC and already on its way. So, Lexus Indonesia only carry out its workmanship at no charge," said Johnny.
Targeted, its workmanship is completed in July. "Until now, consumers in Indonesia have never experienced anything like it (the engine suddenly died). Step Lexus Indonesia this is a precaution," explained Johnny
SPESIFIKASI Lexus HS250h
Sunday, June 27, 2010SPESIFIKASI Lexus HS250h
Japanese luxury car manufacturer, Lexus was forced to withdraw (recall) of approximately 17 000 units HS250h Lexus car production in 2010 because of suspected having problems with its fuel tank.
Fuel tank HS250h Lexus hybrid car in the inspection of the quality of the annual National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is found to have problems that can result in leaks. This is of course hazardous to safety.
Meanwhile, Toyota is the principal Lexus evasive about the matter and said that they had done the same test but did not find problems on this car. Toyota also promised to investigate the instability equal test results between it and the NHTSA.
"Although testing showed HS250h they on Lexus cars still line the federal standard we wil investigate and determine the reason behind the test results are different," said Toyota's chief quality officer for the North American region as detikOto Maddox St Angelo Leftlanenews quoted from Saturday (26 / 6 / 2010).
Lexus HS250h itself had previously been withdrawn or the recall due to suspected to have problems with their brake function.
This means that with the latest withdrawal, HS250h Lexus models have undergone recall two times in this 2010.
Lexus LF-A Roadster Concept, 2008
Saturday, June 12, 2010Lexus LF-A Roadster Concept, 2008
The LF-A Roadster is based on the sturdy yet lightweight carbon-fiber and aluminum body used for the LF-A coupe, which helps maintain the structure's strength and rigidity even without a top.
The LF-A Roadster is powered by a high-revving V10 engine that approaches 5.0 liters in displacement. The V10, capable of more than 500 horsepower and test-track speeds greater than 200 mph, is mounted in front of the passenger compartment but behind the front-axle centerline in what the LF-A's engineers refer to as a "front-mid" configuration.
The engine is connected via a torque tube and propeller shaft to a transaxle that is controlled by paddle shifters. The torque tube is a structural member that adds rigidity to the drivetrain and chassis while also reducing vibration.
Styling is rooted in the Lexus L-Finesse design philosophy, conferring the LF-A Roadster's front end with a compact, low-profile, aerodynamic shape. Like its coupe counterpart, the LF-A Roadster stands just 48 inches tall, but the Roadster configuration adds a speed adaptive rear wing.
These grilles vent the heated air from the car's two rear-mounted radiators into the LF-A Roadster's aerodynamic wake. The radiators are fed cool air by two large intake ducts mounted just above the rear wheel wells. This aft radiator positioning not only allowed the designers to keep the car's front profile low and tight but also aided the LF-A's chassis engineers in their search for optimal weight distribution.
The front tires are 265/35R20s, while the rears are 305/30R20s. Like the LF-A coupe, the brakes consist of 14.2-inch cross-drilled, vented discs up front, and 13.6-inch cross-drilled, vented discs at the rear. The front brake calipers are six-piston units and the rear calipers use four pistons each.

Lexus LS 600h L, 2009
Thursday, March 4, 2010Lexus LS 600h L, 2009
The Lexus LS 600h L luxury sedan was the first vehicle to bring fuel-efficient gasoline-electric hybrid technology to the prestige luxury segment.
The Lexus LS 600h L provides the brand's highest level of performance and technology, and the truest expression of luxury.
The Lexus LS 600h L provides the brand's highest level of performance and technology, and the truest expression of luxury.
Engine/Transmission/Drivetrain/Performance
The Lexus LS 600h L is powered by the ultra-quiet Lexus Hybrid Drive system, which was the world's first to combine a V8 gasoline engine with an all-wheel-drive (AWD) hybrid drivetrain. The system combines a 5.0-liter V8 gasoline engine with two powerful electric motors and a large-capacity battery pack.
The hybrid powertrain generates a peak combined output rating of 438 horsepower and can effortlessly accelerate the Lexus LS 600h L from zero-to-60 mph in just 5.5 seconds.
Mid-range acceleration is even more impressive. The electric motor system is capable of delivering maximum torque on demand and is most beneficial during passing maneuvers.
The Lexus LS 600h L can accelerate from 50-70 mph in a rapid 3.5 seconds.
Its combined EPA fuel economy rating of 21 mpg is equal to or better than the combined fuel-economy ratings of some V6 all-wheel-drive mid-sized luxury sedans.
The innovative V8 features an electric motor-driven Variable Valve Timing with intelligence and Electrically controlled intake cam (VVT-iE). This combination of VVT-i with electric-motor driven intake and an oil controlled VVT-I exhaust system achieves superior engine-startup operation and high-output performance.
A specially developed Hydrocarbon Adsorber and Catalyst (HCAC) system is linked to the two-way exhaust to help prevent hydrocarbons contained in the exhaust from being released into the atmosphere during cold start up when the catalysts are not up to temperature.

Lexus LFA: sales are over - do not get up in the queue!
Thursday, January 21, 2010
The company Lexus, it seems, underestimated the magnitude of consumer demand for its new supercar Lexus LFA, which was presented in October last year on home motor show in Tokyo.
Barely three months after the official debut of leadership Lexus announced that all copies intended for the Japanese market, are sold out, so to stand in line for the supercar in the Land of the Rising Sun makes no sense. For local buyers Lexus will release 165 copies of the model LFA, but only on the world market will do 500 units of the Japanese supercar. Reported earlier that the United States to deal with speculators, buy a car with a view to resale, Lexus has decided not to sell, and rent a supercar in the lease for two years. Upon expiration of the lease holder will be entitled to fully redeem Lexus LFA.
Production of super start in December this year. The model will be completed with 4.8-liter gasoline engine V10 power 560 hp, whose torque is 480 Nm. Rear wheel drive car be equipped six-speed transmission ASG. From 0 to 100 km / h faster model for 3,7 seconds, and "maximum speed" is equal to 325 km / hr.
