Lexus is a luxury Japanese brand from the automotive giant, Toyota. Quality is considered the mainstay of the brand, attracting innovative designers. To create the LS, a first-generation Lexus, one billion dollars was dedicated to its development. Innovation is at the forefront of Lexus. It is an industry leader in hybrid vehicles and has even produced the world’s first eight-speed automatic transmission.
