Default LS400 limo?

Did Lexus ever make any LS400 limo's? If so, I think that would be the perfect VIP project. What would honestly be more VIP than a "VIP platform" limo?

If LEXUS did sell em here, what years where they built?

I would prefer to build a limo as a VIP project, and leave my current LS as just a daily driver.

MOST automanufacturers DO NOT make limo's except for high ranking people of royalty, and even then, they are "one off projects. Is HAS been done by aftermarket companies though. A quick look online found this gen one. Not sure whom the builder is tho.

Lexus did work on this Lansaulet project, with the builder, for the Prince of Monaco recently,

manufacturers generally don't make limos, aftermarket coachbuilders do.

Though if lexus ever did, I would assume it would be similar to the V12 powered long wheelbase Century that they've sold for the past 40-50 years.

The only one I had ever seen was in a Notorious B.I.G. music video.

Have you read about the V12:
As such the 1GZ-FE is one of Toyota’s family of ‘BEAMS’ (Breakthrough Engine with Advanced Mechanism System) engines such as the 3S-GE fitted to the Altezza. The 1GZ-FE in many ways is two inline six cylinder engines sharing a common crank. This is evidenced by there being dedicated left and right cylinder bank inlet manifolds, throttle bodies and EFI systems – to the extent that there are separate ECUs for each bank, with the engine capable of running as a six cylinder engine (with a 6 cylinder air compressor along for the ride) should one bank suffer a significant failure.

that link is great:

Ok, So they didn't make any LS400 Limos. I think a 2LS would look better then a 1LS limo. A 2.5LS would be ideal. I wouldn't want a super strech limo. That just dosent look right imo. Just enough strech to add a rear facing seat with plenty of leg room.

Then add some baller wheels, a nice kit and puddle lights for the exterior. For the interior do 2.5% tint with DAD or JP everything. The car would have to have air ride to have a smooth ride while crusing the highway and be sitting stunner while pulling up to where ever or hitting the strip.
