The New Lexus Flagship
65-foot Lexus yacht joins the LS sedan, LX SUV and LC coupé
as the fourth Lexus flagship - Lexus LY 650 is the first production maritime
expression of Lexus design language, L-finesse - Exploration into
non-automotive ventures continues beyond Lexus involvement in culinary, film,
design and other select luxury lifestyle experiences
Crafting amazing automobiles is something Lexus has pursued
relentlessly, as evidenced by the beautiful hand-pleated door panels in the LS
500 or the complex paint process, inspired by the morpho butterfly, that
results in dazzling Structural Blue. And crafting every touch point around the
Lexus brand is an opportunity Lexus continues to seize. This maritime
application is another proof point in Lexus’ storied history of exploring new
frontiers both inside and outside the automotive industry. Lexus continually
evaluates what constitutes a luxury experience and has, as a result, ventured
into the worlds of culinary, design, film, and more as alternative
opportunities to interact with the brand. Driven by the vision of Lexus
International president Yoshihiro Sawa for a brand that “explores new ways to
deliver innovative and amazing experiences for our guests,” Lexus has partnered
with some of the world’s finest purveyors of experience to further celebrate
the phrase, Experience Amazing. And now, Lexus returns to the water with its
next expression of a Lexus yacht in the form of the LY 650. Bearing the most
contemporary expression of Lexus design language, L-finesse, applied beyond the
world of automobiles, the production LY 650 picks up where the stunning Lexus
Sport Yacht Concept left off.
Several of the most attractive features from the 42-foot
concept have made their way onto the LY 650. In 65-foot overall length, 19-foot
beam form, the newest Lexus yacht has a distinguished style found in the
strong, pronounced bow, curved deck accents and accentuated aft hips. Viewed
from the profile, the elegant rise and fall of the yacht’s distinctly Lexus
roofline flows into rising, broad hips of the rear section.
