Default 2020 LS500 Inspiration Series

https://www.motor1.com/news/357903/l...ration-series/

The two-tone interior gives the cabin a high-class appearance, too.

The 2020 Lexus LS 500 gets a little more style and luxury from the new Inspiration Series special edition that arrives this fall. If you want to spot one on the road, look for the unique Deep Garnet paint that appears to sit on the color spectrum somewhere between deep red and dark purple. The models also ride on 20-inch wheels in a Black Vapor Chrome finish.


On the inside, there's lots of bright white semi-aniline leather. For visual contrast, the carpet, dashboard, steering wheel, and portions of the door panels are black. Kiriko glass trim also adorns the doors and the speaker grilles. As tinier touches, there are blue LED accent lights on the dashboard, and the puddle lamps show Lexus on the ground when occupants approach the vehicle.


The Inspiration Series model is exclusively available with the LS 500's 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that makes 416 horsepower (310 kilowatts) and 442 lb-ft (599 Newton-meters) of torque. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but an all-wheel-drive system with a Torsen limited-slip center differential is optional. With the rear-drive layout, the sedan can reach 60 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour) in 4.6 seconds.

Lexus will limit 2020 LS 500 Inspiration Edition production to 300 units in the United States. The company won't announce pricing until closer to the special model's launch this fall.

nice! got a bit of a chuckle though out of items in bold italic because my g90 has those exact things (well, genesis logo on ground and not lexus logo ).

The LS500 has really grown on. I think it sets the stage for better more interesting designs in the past. I don’t think some of the things it has such as the infotainment screen and how hard it is use the Lexus remote. But overall, it is more stylish than in the past. A lot more interesting. I could see this car on Harry Garage or Jay Leno. Can say that about many other four door Lexus models.

I love white in LS but all white interior combos feature white door panels making it duo-tone instead of tri-tone like with the other colors

I was a at a car lot last weekend and I noticed one of the salesmen hovering over my car and giving me compliments. He asked to take a look inside my LS. He said he'd take my LS over a MB or BMW anyday lol.
