2010 LS 460 "Sport"
We have heard words of this car for the last two years, and it seems like the rumors were true.
http://www.autospies.com/news/Lexus-...t-Tails-45316/
Today we were lucky and thanks to the Japan’s Best Car Magazine, we found out that the new vehicle will carry the SZ badge (and not LS-F as we thought).
The new vehicle will feature a new body kit consisting in a new front and rear bumper, new side sills but also a new black chrome front grille. Also, the new sports sedan will feature a Brembo braking system and a new set of BBS alloy wheels.

News just in from Japan: in its July issue, Best Car magazine is reporting that Lexus will reveal a sportier variant of its LS 460 luxury sedan at the Tokyo Motor Show in October. The magazine claims that the car will carry the SZ moniker and that it will feature a subtle aerokit that includes a new grille treatment plus uprated Brembo brakes and BBS alloy wheels shod in chunkier tires. The LS 460 SZ is estimated to cost in Japan between 9 and 10 million Yen or around to $100,000 US.
There's no mention of any upgrades under the hood so it is possible that the SZ may simply be a special Japanese-market model / trim-level. But as is the case with these kind of rumor-reports, we'll just have to wait for Lexus to come out with something official before we make any definite conclusions.

I am wondering if this LS will be called the LS "F-Sport", if it will replace the existing Touring model, or if it will be something entirely different like this "SZ" name, though I cannot see that fitting into the N.A. lineup.
Anyway, this information is concurrent with what we heard from the dealer meeting a few months ago: 20" wheels, Brembo brakes, and tasteful body kit with a few other slight aerodynamic upgrades.
Can't wait to see the final product, though I hope it ends up looking something like this:
And don't hate on me for posting such big pics...that is the straight up sexiest ISH ever, EVER. ON FIAH!

So you get Brembo brakes, a body kit and some BBSs on an LS for $100k and nothing under the hood (at least nothing mentioned - yet)? hhmmm I think I would still have to consider taking my money elsewhere for a larger "sports sedan."

Also, let's not start making assumptions about what the car isn't until we actually know what it is. We would need to know what standard features this trim level came with, the base price, and the features it offers over other trim levels before we can deem it a ripoff. And the $100K estimate is...an estimate.

LS-F is not, body panels, new grill and bigger rims does not make a sport sedan. At least Lexus added the Brembo brakes. Where is the sport suspension, where is the vector AWD, where is the retune throttle and transmission mapping, where is the exhaust note, where is the sport steering ratio? Anybody can throw on a body kit and some badge and call it an sports edition.
