Powering the 2018 Lexus LS is a new 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, developed through the company's F1 technology, offering V8-level power without sacrificing fuel economy - while also minimizing noise and vibration. Total output sits at 415 HP and 442 lb-ft of torque, allowing for a projected 0-60 mph (96 km/h) acceleration time of just 4.5 seconds in RWD configuration.
Wait... what? Haven't Toyota been out of Formula 1 for like 8 years?

And weren't they running small displacement naturally aspirated V8's still when they were last active!? I guess general engine building principals still apply but maybe update the CV.

Probably just a typo and they meant to say LMP1, which uses a V6 TT also

There were more rumors a few months ago of a 600+ HP twin turbo V6 from lexus to be put in the next generation F cars. Perhaps this is the more stale version...

Lexus LS+ Concept Previews Revised Styling Language

Lexus Premieres 'LS+ Concept' Flagship with Eye toward
Application of Automated Driving Technologies in 2020
10th Anniversary of 'F' Sports Models Commemorated with Limited Editions


Toyota City, Japan (October 25, 2017)―Lexus premiered to the world today its automated-driving-capable "LS+ Concept" concept vehicle at the 45th Tokyo Motor Show 2017*1. It also unveiled at the show limited editions of the "RC F" and "GS F", commemorating the 10th anniversary of Lexus "F" sports models.

Aiming to contribute to achievement of a world free of traffic casualties, Lexus has been actively introducing advanced technologies based on its Integrated Safety Management Concept*2. And so that all people can enjoy safe and smooth mobility and the fun of driving, Lexus has been developing automated driving technologies. It aims for application in the first half of the 2020s of its "Urban Teammate" technologies for automated driving on regular roads.

Main features of the LS+ Concept
The LS+ Concept, equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, indicates the future image of the "LS" flagship sedan. With its advanced yet dignified styling and automated driving technologies planned for application in 2020, the LS+ Concept was developed as a model that symbolizes Lexus' vision.

Advanced yet dignified styling representing the future image of the "LS" flagship sedan

As a concept vehicle that suggests the future look of the LS, the LS+ Concept produces a dignified expression as a flagship and indicates the direction of next-generation Lexus design based on Lexus' L-finesse*3 design philosophy. In addition to a boldly evolved Spindle Grille, with a large grille shutter that contributes to both improved cooling and enhanced aerodynamic performance, distinctive Lexus vision is expressed in the LS+ Concept through, among others, partly laser-lit headlamps and rear combination lamps, as well as through electronic side mirrors.
Latest automated driving technologies

Lexus is pursuing a world in which all people can enjoy safe, smooth and untethered mobility through automated driving technologies. Specifically, it intends to make automated driving from entrance ramp to exit ramp on motor-vehicle-only roadways possible by using its "Highway Teammate" automated driving technologies, which, with an eye toward application in 2020, are featured on the LS+ Concept. On motor-vehicle-only roadways, through appropriate recognition, judgment and operation by onboard systems in response to actual traffic conditions, these technologies can enable automated merging, lane changes and diverging, as well as keep a vehicle in its lane and maintain vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
The LS+ Concept can communicate with a data center to update its systems' software, allowing new functions to be added. Meanwhile, AI that learns from big data, including information on roads and surrounding areas, ensures a high level of automated driving. The car, which can learn and grow along with its users, represents a new age for the image of cars to which people can become emotionally attached.
