The LS will replace the outgoing 4.6-liter V-8 with a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 that Lexus says was developed specifically for the LS. Boasting 415 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque (compared to 386 hp and 367 lb-ft of the old V-8)
So this was the decade of HP wars and also the slow disappearance of the V8, or more generally, natural aspiration in performance applications. That part is understandable given the HP levels we are at I guess...

On the styling, the rear end looks like a nice modern revision that still looks somewhat like the old LS. The front end looks utterly ridiculous.
