In the 80s of the last century Toyota produced inexpensive cars, but had a great desire to enter the premium car market. The head of the company proposed creating a new brand and thus saw the light of Lexus cars, which have become synonymous with luxury.
Luxury, as you know, costs money and we decided to find out which Lexus is the most expensive. There will be no space prices, although the modest cost of the models from the selection cannot be called either.

Lexus benefits include a 5-liter V-8 engine with 467 hp, an eight-speed automatic transmission and an electronically controlled torque vector differential (TVD).
