What the? German tuner Lorinser upgrades the Lexus LS460!

All of you folks know that Lorinser, the well-known German tuner is specialized in tuning Mercedes-Benz cars but it appears that this tuning company wanted to try something else and revealed today the new customization program for the Lexus LS460.

The Japanese vehicle received a brand new front apron, new side sills, a small rear wing on the boot lid and a new rear apron with integrated exhaust system and air diffuser. Under the hood we have the same V8-engine capable to develop 381 horsepower (280 kW) and to push the car from 0 to 100 in 5.7 seconds. The kit is completed by the well-known Lorinser alloy-wheels seen on the other tuned Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

The body kit is not nearly as heinous as their Mercedes-Benz offerings.

Could do without the Porsche-inspired exhaust, however.

I own a MB and a Lexus. I would never do this to my LS let alone have it done by Lorinser. It's cool they attempted this but it just doesn't work. What's the point in having parts that were fitted on an S-Class put on an LS? That would be called pretending it's a Mercedes when it's not.

Lexus should have WALD do their work as they are amongst my favorite.

My two cents.
