Has anyone seen more detailed information about the engine and differential in the 2024 Ultimate Edition (or upcoming Inspiration Series)?

"Another Ultimate Edition difference is under the hood: the engine is Takumi (master craftsman) - tuned for smoother rotation feel, high-quality sound, and enhanced acceleration response. The rear differential has also been Takumi-tuned for acceleration response." - Europe Press Release - April 7, 2023

And, what are the chances that these performance improvements will be available for Bespoke orders?

Reading all the posts in the thread "Replacing LC500 torsen diff with LC500h one" leads me to believe that there would be a noticeable improvement with different gears.

I also read that on that long european press release doc!

Sure hope they actually added the LC500H differential, it's literally one of the easiest and most noticeable performance improvements they can make.

Does anyone know if the low resolution reverse camera has been upgraded with the 2024?

A buddy told me today his dealer entered a Bespoke order today so I asked one of the dealers I have a deposit with to see if they could submit a Bespoke build with a White exterior and the Blue/White leather - it was rejected. It it not allowed as per the matrix but if they are allowing the other colors with that leather, such as Green, Yellow, etc. I wonder why White is not allowed?!

^^^^It's on the Edge Edition in Japan. My Guess, it will be on the Inspiration Series when it's released in North America.

thanks for the pics. can't believe lexus was so lazy as to replace the trackpad area by making the remaining controls take up so much wasted space instead of adding a cup holder or something, or seat heat/cool controls. anything... throw us a frickin' bone.

It looks like there is a seat and steering button below the volume control ****.
Might just be heat off/on.

i assume that button just brings up the on screen controls, otherwise it could only cycle through modes which would be weak.
