The Moscow Auto Show seems like the perfect place for Lexus to unveil the all-wheel-drive version of its LS460. Russians have a torrid love affair with rolling living rooms, evidenced by the 7-series and S-class-lined streets of Moscow's high-end shopping districts. Add AWD to the equation and the LS460 makes a strong case against the Germans.

As previously reported, the Lexus LS460 AWD is fitted with the same four-wheel-drive system and eight-speed auto 'box as the LS600h, and comes equipped with a Torsen rear LSD and 381 hp, 4.6-liter V8 as the standard model. Torque split is set to 40/60 in normal driving conditions, but if you need to make a dramatic getaway on the mean streets of Moscow, 70-percent of the power can be sent to the rear-wheels.

 

thanks a lot

 

The Lexus LS 460's outstanding performance, sure-footed dynamic abilities and advanced active safety systems have been further strengthened by the addition of permanent all-wheel drive.

Japanese tuning house Fabulous, a specialist in tricking out Lexus and Toyota products, has released its latest kit for the LS460 limo. The pack consists of mostly stylistic changes for the car’s exterior but there’s also a unique foldaway table designed for the front passenger section. This interior shot shows the table installed in a Toyota Alphard van but customers can opt to have it installed in most Lexus and Toyota models.
For the LS460, Fabulous also offers both front and rear lip spoilers, side skirts, a mild rear wing and unique five-spoke 22in wheels shod with 295mm rubber up back and 245mm tires for the front.
Starting price for the new kit is approximately €2,500 but we suspect anybody who can afford an LS will have no problems paying for these add-ons.
