Default Lexus LS 20th anniversary rendering...

Here's a pic from yours truly of the LS generations...been an admirer of this vehicle since it first came out...



20 years ago the LS premiered, and the luxury automotive world hasn't been the same since.

Great job & yes I would use it as wallpaper, but my screen is 1680 x 1250.

Is Lexus doing a special 20th anniversary edition? They should. How about a super limited LS460 20th anniversary edition? Maybe make like 500 of them for the entire world and launch an advertising campaign on TV educating the public about the history of the LS using your picture as the final slide? The car could have a special anniversary option package, that isn't available on regular LS460's.

You should sell that picture to Lexus. They could use it in their advertisements and provide a brief overview of the history of the car.

That's a neat idea, I agree they should make more special editions, although so far most of them seem reserved to Japan (500 unit GS special etc), or when in the US, near the model changeover. As for selling the pic, well I wonder how to contact them, I did use their brochure pics as the main source for this rendering. : They probably could do a better job of it anyways. Actually I posted one such pic they have, it's more of a Lexus Europe style photo though:

You're welcome guys! 20 years, it's pretty neat how far the LS has come in all those years.

Agreed - Did not start really following this car until the 2001 body. I can tell you which one I like the best :-)

Default Font?

Encore888: What font is used on your wallpaper? The font used to write "The Passionate Pursuit of Perfection" among the other characters on the wallpaper. I see in your wallpaper and on Lexus graphics and brochures they use that font but I don't know what it is called.

Nice wallpaper! I've been looking for a good Lexus wallpaper for awhile!! Hope to see more soon.

The font used is Futura Lt BT, in italics, that was the best approximation of the Lexus current ad font I could find. I've been looking for the original Lexus 1989 ad font but that apparently is proprietary.

Thanks! Perhaps some others could be made, although I hadn't thought seriously about finding the materials (took long enough for the LS one!), but there are 3 gens for the GS, LX, and RX; also 5 gens now for the ES...
