In the past few days, I have been talking about the Lexus LS400. From the first generation to the second generation, in the full-size luxury sedan, many car fans actually like it very much. It has a classic appearance, excellent performance, and durable quality. Think about it These reasons are enough.
The final version of LS400 is the 1998 model LS400 launched by Lexus in September 1997. We generally call him the Millennium Lexus in China. In 2000, it was the turn of the successor big brother LS430 to play.
At the beginning of the LS400’s birth, its main benchmark was the Mercedes-Benz W126, but soon the W140 was born. In front of the imposing Hutouben, the first-generation LS400 inevitably seemed too delicate, which prompted Toyota to quickly adjust its strategy. From the final version of the second-generation LS, we can see that the center grid and headlights have been enlarged, and the front of the car is raised backwards, which somewhat has the shadow of a tiger’s head running, and it has indeed increased a lot of aura.
This Millennium Edition Lexus LS400 comes from car enthusiast Old Boy. Now some old car enthusiasts will spend a lot of time and energy to transform a VIP-style LS400. But for car friend Old Boy, he prefers it without makeup.
In terms of appearance, except for the front of the car, there are still no major changes in other places. The two-color body continues to be used, but some high-tech products have begun to be applied, such as the original xenon headlight system and the headlight automatic azimuth correction system that were rare in those days. and many more.
A passage I like very much: “Come out to watch the sunset, the sunset is red for you, it’s not easy to be twenty! I don’t want to see how fast your old brother can drive, and I don’t want to see your leather seats It can be as glossy and comfortable as it was 20 years ago. If you don’t picture it, your car can still be as quiet as a coffin like it was 20 years ago. If you don’t picture it, your original CD player can still work normally! If you don’t picture it, your parts can still look like it was 20 years ago. The same as before is 100% no problem. If you don’t want your skin to shine like it was 20 years ago, you can always write it under my name, park in my parking space, and have another one with me. 20 years!”
Old car, new car, what do you love about it? The so-called technology will be obsolete one day, and what is left is its real material. Only the real king can stand eternally in the depths of time.
How many people have admired your appearance when you were young, but who are willing to bear the ruthless changes of the years, how many people have come and returned in your life, until you and I meet in life, I will be by your side in this life. …..
Even if time is wasted, I will stay for you, cross thousands of mountains and rivers, and go to the end of this world. …
The suspension system of the Millennium Edition LS400 has been re-tuned to improve handling and ride experience.
The upgraded 4.0-liter V8 VVT-i (Intelligent Variable Valve Timing System) engine, the output extreme value of 216kW (293PS)/401Nm is absolutely unambiguous even today.
The running state of the Lexus engine is so stable that it is abnormal. Such an age and such a state have to be admired. Is this an advertisement? No, this is history, a journey, a transformation…
Neat cabin…
The interior of LS400 does not have the stale air of some old cars at all. The meticulous workmanship of every place has been tested today. It is a pity that such a well-preserved old car will be scrapped.
Seat memory button…..
In the mid-term facelift of that year, the Millennium Edition LS400 added a driving computer display, HomeLink garage door remote opening system, retractable rear headrests, reading lights, UV-resistant glass, dual-zone automatic air conditioning with filtering function, smoke sensor, etc. High-end configuration, these configurations are still easy to use.
Let’s look at the details again:
10 positions electric adjustment……
The leather seats in the rear row are spacious and comfortable. Inside the central armrest in the rear row is the multifunctional control hub for the rear row…
There is an ashtray on the rear door armrest…..
It can be said that every model of LS is the benchmark of luxury and quality at that time. The Millennium Lexus is the finale of LS400 and can become Toyota’s top car series. LS deserves its name. Use enough patience to experience And comprehension, in the end it must still be what you liked at the beginning, time tells everything, and it has also created a generation of LS classics!
