Lexus has revealed its first luxury yacht, the Lexus LY 650.
The world premiere of the yacht on September 19 in Florida featured Lexus showing off the LY 650’s unique styling and cruising performance.
Lexus, which aspires to be a luxury lifestyle brand, has fused advanced technology and craftmanship to create the LY 650 flagship yacht. It embodies the Lexus ‘crafted’ philosophy, which is attention to detail and hospitality.
Lexus collaborated with Italian yacht design studio Nuvolari Lenard to create the design.
The yacht rides on a light and rigid composite hull that combines carbon and glass fibre-reinforced plastic. It is equipped with LY-Link, an advanced connectivity technology for boating that shares timely information and provides control of various yacht functions.
“The LY 650 symbolises the challenge taken by Lexus, which asp0ires to be a true luxury lifestyle brand, to venture beyond the automobile,” president Akio Toyoda says.
The LY650 is built in collaboration with Marquis Yachts in Wisconsin, US.
“A collaborate team between Toyota and Marquis Yachts introduced the Toyota Production System to the boat manufacturing facility to improve productivity and quality.”
“I am truly looking forward to seeing the advanced, high quality LY 650 display its beauty on the oceans across the globe. As a mobility company, we are pursuing new possibilities for mobility, even on the sea.”
The new yacht will appear at the Fort Lauderdale international boat show in Florida from October 30 to November 3, 2019.
