Introduced for 2001, the Lexus LS 430 (also sold in Japan as the Toyota Celsior UCF30/UCF31) represents the third generation of Lexus’ flagship sedan.

Developed under Toyota’s ‘F1 project’ to match Europe’s finest luxury cars, the LS series has served as the flagship model of the Lexus division since 1989.

While the Toyota Century remains the ultra‑luxury limousine reserved for government officials and executives in Japan, the Lexus LS/Celsior is Toyota’s flagship luxury model for global markets.
