The LHS Limited Edition
Under the hood, the all-new, all-aluminum, 3.5 liter V-6 engine is exclusive to the LHS and 300M. It smoothly delivers 253 horsepower and 255 lb.-ft. of torque - more than any other engine in its class. By placing twin catalysts close to the exhaust manifold, the new engine releases 30% fewer hydrocarbons than its predecessor, yet with a 5% gain in fuel efficiency from the naturally-aspirated engine.
A host of new features, such as six-bolt main bearing caps, help reduce vibration. The LHS uses the same suspension architecture as the new 300M, but the LHS strut valves were tuned with longer ride motions than on the 300M for a more luxurious ride quality. That's not to say the LHS is sloppy; it provides excellent handling response and agility for a car of its size. Four-wheel antilock disc brakes are standard; ABS allows the driver to maintain steering control during hard braking.
The LHS comes with a new brake system that provides better pedal feel, improved stopping performance with less noise and vibration from the ABS. Electronic traction control is also standard; it provides improved control when accelerating on slippery surfaces by limiting wheel spin. All-season Goodyear Eagle LS touring tires, size P225/55R17, are standard and provide good handling characteristics on wet or dry roads.
