  • News Release
    News Release Toyota Boshoku’s Innovative Sports Seat Debuts in New Lexus IS Lineup Foam In Place Method enhances hold performance and design Kariya (Japan) May 23, 2013 – Toyota Boshoku Corporation (Tokyo: 3116, President, Shuhei Toyoda) is pleased to announce that its innovative sports seat will debut in the sports version of the redesigned Lexus IS lineup, “F SPORT”. This seat was specially designed with Lexus in mind to achieve enhanced ride comfort and high-quality design to suit the sporty Lexus model. The new sports seat conforms to the contours of the body and ensures a comfortable fit to protect the shoulders and torso from gravitational pull during cornering. Moreover, the seat is slimmer achieving a more sophisticated and sleek design that enhances the high-grade sporty atmosphere. The seat is created utilizing the “Foam In Place Method” where urethane is directly injected into seat covers that have been placed inside metal molds and then the foam sets to the intended shape. Compared to conventional methods of attaching seat covers to pre-formed foam, the Foam In Place Method creates shapes that are ideal for ensuring a comfortable ride and achieves high-quality design. Moreover, this method can be used with fabric, genuine leather and man-made material to create a wide variety of desired shapes. In its pursuit to provide a comfortable ride that makes the rider feel as if they are one with the car, Toyota Boshoku has developed sports seats that are installed in racecars and sports cars. Here on out Toyota Boshoku will continue to apply the knowledge it acquired through the development of sports seats to achieve pinnacle seat performance, and proactively provide appealing seat proposals to our customers around the world.

  • The Lexus Range Experience Amazing
    THE LEXUS RANGE EXPERIENCE AMAZING Since the launch of the LS 400 sedan in 1989, Lexus has become a synonym for exceptional quality and incredibly refined luxury cars. Determined to offer more than this, recently we’ve launched a new generation of vehicles: cars that stand out from the crowd and defy convention. Models like the exciting new UX compact crossover and the provocative yet elegant ES executive sedan. Based on a uniquely Japanese aesthetic of harmony without compromise, Lexus design is now more distinctive and single-minded than ever. However, head turning looks would be nothing without incredible performance. Inspired by the iconic Lexus LFA supercar that was launched in 2010, our ‘Master Drivers’, have worked tirelessly to identify and articulate the unique flavour of driving excitement. With this hard won knowledge we’ve now enhanced the precise and elegant nature of every Lexus with a sizeable dose of adrenaline: creating an exhilarating new driving experience that starts when you approach a car like the LC luxury coupé, and continues as long as you drive and cherish it. Unsurprisingly, technology plays a huge role in our work. We see innovation as a never-ending process, and are committed to anticipating future needs and desires. This approach has led to major automotive breakthroughs like the world’s first Self-Charging Hybrid in 2004 – the RX 400h – and now Multi Stage Hybrid that powers the LS 500h and LC 500h. Despite our intense focus on the future, we’re immensely proud of the world-class build quality of our cars, which is overseen by our ‘Takumi’ artisans.
