LS 400 leads the 92 Lexus lineup But when a car is so successful, who dares disturb a winning combination? In fact the only change to LS 400 for 1992 is the addition of a CD autochanger as standard equipment instead of as an option, which brings LS 400 that much closer to perfection. This means that virtually everything that makes a luxury car great is standard equipment on the LS 400. This includes items such as leather seats and trim, California walnut trim, sevenâ€" speaker Nakamichi custom sound system, keyless entry system, integrated security system and so much more.

One year after its introduction to the Canadian market, the flagship Lexus LS 400 remains the car of choice for many discerning luxury car buyers as well as the automotive press around the world. + The heart and soul of a performance sedan is its engine Needs of elderly drivers Wnsb alBiptuizatin uc ie 1992 Lexus LS 400 Page 34 ECTION For maximum performance and efficiency, LS 400‘s super smooth electronicallyâ€"controlled engine is matched to an equally smooth fourâ€"speed overdrive automatic transmission.

In the Lexus lexicon, luxury must equate to silence and every possible effort has been made to ensure the ultimate in silence. This process was called "countermeasures at source," in other words prevent the sound from happen ing, rather than mask it after it exists. Lexus engineers started with a supremely rigid chassis structure and because clean air flow makes less noise, they wrapped it in a superâ€"smooth bodystyle, so smooth that its coefficient of drag (0.29 Cd) is among the lowest in its class, lower even than some exotic purposeâ€"built sports cars. LS 400 is an aerodynamic wedge with a distinctive front air dam, slant nose, high deck, large sloping rear window and large, rounded corners. Even the wheel flares have aero styling. The visual evidence of this Lexus approach reveals narrow body gaps, special weatherstripping, flush surfaced lights, window sashes, door gaps, doorhandles. bumpers, and side mirrors.
