Still on the safety front, the LS 600h L became the world's first vehicle to feature triple-projector headlights with LEDs that were designed to last the lifetime of the car. These headlights provide excellent nighttime visibility and, thanks to the Adaptive Front Lighting System, they swivel individually according to the vehicle speed while cornering.
The folks at Toyota succeeded in their mission to wow the competition with a host of highly sophisticated innovations -- some of which are arguably useless, while others should definitely become standard equipment on all regular cars. Time will tell if such sophistication will convince the rich and famous to set their sights on this majestic Lexus.
Carefully executed construction
Cutting-edge technology
