We haven't heard much about the 2018 Lexus LS lately but Automotive News is reporting the model will cost around US$ 76,000 when it goes on sale in February. If that number pans out, the 2018 LS will cost significantly more than the current model which starts at US$ 72,520. 

Lexus hopes the car's sportier styling and greater emphasis on performance will win converts and help increase annual sales to 12,000 units in the United States. This would be a dramatic increase from the 5,514 units that were sold in 2016.

One of the car's key attractions could be the new twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 415 hp and 598 Nm of torque. It is backed up by ten-speed automatic transmission which can be paired to optional all-wheel drive system.
