Hit or Miss: Tuner Fabulous Takes a Shot at the LS460

your sn isnt going to fool anyone

The LS is a great sedan, but really, I'd like you to explain why the eight-speed automatic is the "most advanced transmission in the world?" All they did was add an extra cog. When Mercedes came out with the first seven-speed, were we calling it the "most advanced in the world?" There are more technologically significant transmissions out there, such as the semi-automatics and dual-clutch automated manual gearboxes.

Yeah right! the most advanced transmission in a street legal car is Audi's DSG (now called S-Tronic) with it's dual clutch system. It's extremely fast but also very smooth in the same time. Even BMW is following Audi on that one, they are trying right now to jump on the market with something similar (dual clutch-I heard they are developing/testing it now).

How does this destroy the Euro tuners? Brabus for example has some pretty advanced engine technology and modifications. This Lexus was only changed visually.

I love the work lexus does... don't get me wrong... but if you think that the more gears a transmission has, the more advanced it is, then I think all CVT tranny's have the lexus 8 speed beat.... infinity > 8...

DSG does not = AUDI or VW

DSG= BorgWarner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BorgWarner

VW/Audi have rocked it since, rocked it well I might add. It made the entire lineup carrying that trans pretty hot.

p.s. This has nothing to do with the uber hot lexus above. Sporting 100% more VIP :)

The LS460 would look great if it had 22 inch rims and a lift kit, but I don't like this at all.

Perfection perfected. Cool. So the car was incomplete from the beginning. :)
And if perfection can be perfected, I expect someone else is gonna perfect it even more. Cause it's not good enough YET ! It will never be for me.

You joke with yourself too much. This will not destroy Euro tuners.

I like the rims, but I'd rather they kept the badge on the grille, and I don't like what they did to the windows.

Definetely missed on the rims.

It's a hit if the target audience is 8 year old boys.

99% of aftermarket stuff and the "tuners" that make them are pure crap.

Debadging a car is especially stupid.

Baby that's beautiful!

You just shouldn't tune japanese cars. I love the LS, but that just looks stupid to me. Also, I agree that debadging a car is gay.

oh man, i love it, just got to tint the front windows like the back.

Looks "excessive".

O V E R D O N E

Such as 19" versions of the ones on the IS350? Those twin five-spokes are hot-- they make the IS350 so much better-looking than the IS250. I doubt the designers of the LS's staid, bland rims were the same people.

Pt the badge back on the grille and you've got yorself a nice aftermarket-tuned vehicle. What's so "excessive" about it? The only "excessive" thing about it are the rims, which could have been worse. I'm also glad there's no giant wing on the back.

Miss.Stock one is much better.
That kit would fit and look better on caddies or BMWs.

BTW,I like Tuner TOM's work more. They understand Brand Lexus better and what each of its models represents.
LS represents luxury therefore its styling should be understated and fine-looking.

It has the gangsta flair that 300C's look like with dubs+duece. Peace, I'm out.

I'm sure the Yakuza will be using this car as a choice of transportation. :)

I don't know what Yakuza you know but that's not what they ONLY drive. I have been to Japan and strangely met some as well in a lounge. They do drive JDM's. However they do love the S-Class & E-Class I agree with you on that. Merc's are one of the top picks in that society.

Visually this is nice. I would have put some other rims on there but Lexus doesn't have the luxury of having companies like Brabus, Carlsson, and etc to tune cars for their brand specifically like Mercedes does.

The car looks stunning in black and more sporting. However, most of the owners of an LS probably will not do this to their car as the typical age group is a bit higher. If they wanted to have a tuned car they would go for an IS or even the GS. My two cents.

Overall: 8.5/10

The new Lexus LS460 is absolutely just stunning, so I don't see why anyone want to supp it up? by the way they need to take those ugly rimm plea

#1 Missed with the rims.
#2 If your going to tint the windows, do them all.
#3 Id still like to see the Lexus logo in the billit grill.
#4 Air ride Technologies.
#5 Supercharge it.

nice, different mags

Is 50cent in there?

All the thing needs is a MBZ hood ornament to complete the look alike. Will Lexus ever get over that they make cars in Japan and that Japanese food doesn't mix well with Germman deli delights?

Put back the Lexus badge on the grille and change the rims then it's cool.

Put back the Lexus badge on the grille and change the rims then it's cool.

Which means... it would look completely different from the modifications shown.

View the profile of the this LS alongside the current 5-series and tell me how many differences you can spot.

Here's a new word for the dictionary: BangL-finesse (adj.).

LOL

If I give you $5 will you stop saying that Lexus stole the stupid rear window curve?

First, look at the new Aston designs. Did they steal the curve too?

Second, if BMW really had ownership of the damn "kink" surely they would have brought about legal action by now.

Maybe GM should trademark a circle, call it the "General's Disc" and sue everyone else for putting wheels on their cars.

lol

Terrible. Never was a fan of aftermarket body kits and this is just terrible. What a way to ruin a classy looking car.

And to the Lexus trolls: This tuner in no way destroys the European tuners, who also perform advanced engine modifications on the cars they tune. This Fabulous tuner just changed the look of the car. That's nothing difficult. I could change the look of my S550 with some tape, cardboard and some Type-R VTEC NISMO AMG M "stickaz" too...

them rims gotta go

Hit but rims should be 20" instead of super large 22s.

Wow! Look, a dressed up turd!

So if I go out and make a body kit for the LS does that make me a tuner to.. oh wait I would need big ugly wheels to..

has anybody missed me?
anyway, this sucks.
they managed to make a reasonably good looking car ugly, which is quite difficult.
stupid tuning company.

Those rims are a huge miss. Does not compliment the car very well.

Fabulous is trying to do the whole Brabus tuning thing but it looks more rice than maintaining the luxury car look. On top of that no performance upgrades were made. Why even bother with this? Leave it stock and drive it as it is. Lexus is no Mercedes so why even try attempting the 'aftermarket tuning'.

Ofcourse its a HIT! No wonder Lexus haters won't say so.. for the nth time.......wahaha! Lexus RULES

It's over done. Unless you like the ricer look this car is meant to be a luxury sedan not a sports sedan like the baby Lexus IS. The rims put it very out of place alongside the Brabus//Carlsson tuning. On top of that Fabulous didn't do any performance enhancements to the LS. I mean if you're going to go as far as tune a car like this you might as well add some more punch to it.

Oh well, it's not the worst i've seen but it's overdone for an LS that's all i'm saying.

This car looks cheap after this company got a hold of it.

It's just not the type of car you can mess with, like the Buick Lucerne.

Know what I mean jellybean?

well what can ya say ive sat inside one and they are to die for and when its out in new zealand i get ta drive one so im looking forward to that day let ya all know how it goes :D
