Lexus has revealed the LS Inspiration Series, a celebration of its flagship sedan's 30th birthday, priced from $198,922 before on-road costs in Australia.
Based on the existing LS limousine, the Inspiration Series can be separated from the regular line-up by its 20-inch alloy wheels and the availability of 'Khaki Metal' green paint for the exterior.
Inside, the car is kitted out with chestnut-coloured semi-aniline leather trim and brown door fabric trim, along with laser-cut 'ornamentation'.

While earlier development vehicles sported a heavy plastic camouflage up front, these latest cars are only fitted with a bit of disguise tape.
As with the Chinese market Buick Regal leaked last month, the updated Insignia — and on current form the revised Commodore too — will have new headlight units incorporating Opel's latest driving light spear.

Maserati has announced its upcoming sports car will be revealed in May 2020.
Details about the 'sports car' are hard to come by at the moment, but a teaser video posted on Twitter offers a few hints beyond the launch date.
For one, it features a revving petrol engine, suggesting the first electrified Maserati won't be a pure-electric vehicle – instead, it's likely to be a plug-in hybrid, or offer a purely internal-combustion powertrain option option.
