The Lexus LS500 Heritage Edition, the brand’s most expensive model, will be produced until 2026. Lexus will produce the twin-turbo V-6-powered send-offs in 250 units, and each one will cost $100,730. The hybrid LS500h was quietly taken off the market after the 2025 model year. In 2026, the Heritage Edition was the only LS model available for purchase. Lexus, Toyota’s high-end brand, began with the release of the first LS car in 1989. After 36 years, the brand’s most famous car is now ready for its final journey. The 2026 Lexus LS 500 Heritage Edition will be the only model available for purchase, with a limited number to be produced. The 3.4-liter V-6 twin-turbo engine in the LS500 Heritage Edition sends 416 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels. At 107 mph, the full-size luxury sedan ran the quarter-mile in 13.3 seconds, while the last LS500 we tried ran the mile-per-minute in 5.0 seconds. The new Ninety Noir paint color complements the Heritage model’s distinctive 20-inch wheels with 20 spokes. Roja Red leather was used for the first time on an LS model by Lexus in the 2012 Lexus LS 500. This is the last Heritage Edition ride, and a carved symbol on the center panel serves as a reminder. There is also an outline of the LS sewn into the headrests in case that small nod is missed. As a tribute to the LS’s past, Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again,” featuring Charlie Puth’s sweet vocals, should sound great on the basic 23-speaker Mark Levinson sound system. Lexus has set the base price for the 2026 LS 500 Heritage Edition at $100,730, which is approximately $19,000 more than last year’s price. Of course, all 250 copies have been loaded, and it’s important to keep records. Additionally, a Lexus representative confirmed that the hybrid LS 500 h is no longer being manufactured, in case you were wondering what would happen to it. The last year for the car was 2025.
