This is the Toyota Racing Development take on the 2013 Lexus LS 460. While the LS itself is well-respected as a comfy and capable continent cruiser, and supposedly much enhanced for the new model year, we just can't quite get our minds around this body kit.

It's not any one thing, exactly, but rather the confluence of it all. The stately, elegant, and somewhat under-the-radar look of the LS is gone, replaced with finny, fishy, flappy, fiddly bits in the form of a diffuser, front splitter, side skirts, forged aluminum wheels, and sport mufflers. It's a step above and beyond the LS F Sport.

This is, for now, listed on TRD's Japanese page (as F Sport upgrade parts), and not yet officially released for the U.S. so it's possible we may get a different version of the kit if we get one at all--but for now, this is the high-performance take on the new LS.

Do you get it? If so, please explain in the comments below.
