Five cool things about the Lexus LS 500 Inspiration

Lavish $200,000-plus limousines are popular with captains of industry, the exceedingly wealthy and chauffer companies, and the most popular models are the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series.

But Lexus wants to be on the consideration list with its LS 500 and has gone to new lengths to be front of mind with its ultra-rare Inspiration Series model. Just eight of these vehicles will come to Australia and they’re absolutely lavish.

Forget the buttery but potent 310kW/600Nm twin-turbo V6 that drives the Lexus LS 500 Inspiration’s rear wheels or the silky smooth suspension. This car is all about the interior, which has to be seen to be believed.

So come and have a squiz – we guarantee you’ve never seen anything like this from Lexus before.
