Body
Rust resistant steel
Two types of rust - resistant steel are used; Galvannealed steel sheet and Excelite II. Galvannealed steel sheet is used on inner panels, floor panels, and other places. Excellite II is used for outer panels like the doors, hood, and trunk lid. Excelite II is made by the formation of a zinc-rich layer, creates good adhesion on the outer panels.
Wax and Sealer use.
Wax is applied to the inside of the seams of the hood, doors, and other panels to stop the ingress of water and improve rust - resistantance. Filling the seams with adhesive also acts to seal the sections .
Under Coat
PVC ( Polyvinyl Chloride) coatings are applied to most of underside of the body.
Four Layers Of Weatherstripping, are used.
Vibration Dampening Materials and Sound Absorbing Materials are used.
Reduction of Clearance Between Body Parts, to improve appearance and reduce wind noise.
Body Paint MIO (Micaceous Iron Oxide) paint, There are 6 layers above the sheet metal, 1 is Under coat, 2 is Primer surfacer, 3 is color base, 4 is MIO base, 5 and 6 are 2 layers of clear. 2 tone color is used for main body and for the side protective moldings, and front and rear bumpers, to provide 2 tone exterior coloring (except when deep red mica is used)

The antenna for the wireless door lock is the rear window defogger wiring. Range of operation with in about 3.3 ft of the driver door.
If none of the doors are opened with in 30 seconds after they are unlocked by the wireless door lock remote control, all doors are locked again automatically.
So the site formats the locations way off for the UCF stuff above.
The drag coefficient for the LS400 is .29, which is very good aerodynamic efficiency.
0 to 60 time 7.9 seconds.

Yeah none of this is Trivia.


Unless sources are provided it's literally all just hearsay.
