Lexus gears up for Paris show

Forget the claims of rival luxury cars having more technology than it took to send a man to the Moon, the new Lexus LS range could send a whole tribe to far end of the galaxy.

The LS makes its European debut at the Paris motor show in September, where we'll get a butcher's at the LS460 and also the LS600h hybrid model.

High on the LS's agenda is safety, with an Advanced Obstacle Detection System than can pick up on potential dangers ahead.

The Emergency Steering Assist speeds up the steering's response if it senses a sudden input from the driver.

Then there's the Driver Monitoring System to help keep the driver's eyes on the road.

Put all this together and you have the Lexus Pre-Crash Safety package, which also predicts if an accident is unavoidable and puts the headrests in the optimum position to reduce whiplash.

It also activates all of the above systems to help the driver avoid the accident if at all possible.

One small step for Lexus, one giant leap for driver-kind.
