Lexus aims to be a lifestyle and luxury brand not only on the road, but also on the ocean. The flagship of this global concept that embodies the design philosophy Crafted in Japan Lexus is the Luxury Yacht. The new LY680 represents the next step in exceeding customer expectations and creating a unique experience that stimulates their senses, even at sea.

The exterior is an extension of the L-finesse design language of Lexus cars, while the interior has been meticulously crafted to provide a comfortable and habitable space. In terms of performance, Lexus aims for on-water handling that inspires confidence and peace of mind, offering stable handling and excellent driving comfort.
Its elegant styling is inspired by Lexus’ L-finesse automotive design philosophy.
