The LS is powered by a 4.6-liter engine that provides up to a remarkable 380 horsepower [1] and 367 lb-ft of torque (RWD models) [1].

The LS all-wheel drive models help provide enhanced traction and control.

The available Variable Gear-Ratio Steering (VGRS) adjusts the steering ratio based on the vehicle's speed.

Gasoline is injected directly into the engine's combustion chamber for better power and improved mileage.

The engine's valve timing is continuously adjusted to provide optimum power at any speed.

The available Adaptive Variable Air Suspension (AVS) allows you to determine the feel of your ride by selecting either Comfort, Normal or Sport mode.

By replacing an engine-driven pump with an electronic one, steering is smoother and more efficient.

The LS features the world's first eight-speed automatic transmission.

An aggressive electronic braking system includes an electronic parking brake, a brake hold feature and available high-friction front brakes [2].
