I don't like the new Lexus LS so I modernized the old one

- The current Lexus LS has become over-styled and weak. It's forgotten its roots of the elegant and stately design of the original.

I really like the Ls, I love the retro shape and the Uz engine I believe. I walk past one on my way from school everyday and always look at its exhausts, they look cool
I had a 1990 LS400 drove it to school everyday, now I got a 1991 Toyota Celsior.
@@LSnium are they similar?
@@plowee959 yes same car, just one made strictly for the Japanese market, although the Celsior does have things an LS400 would never come with, I have a video of it on my channel.
@@LSnium Interesting
Save up snd get one man it's totally worth it, my 2nd car and no complaints I love it
One of the best cars ever made. I daily drive my triple black 98 GS 400 , 24 years old, I get so many compliments on it. They don't make them like they used to. Their hard to find in great shape and are definitely unicorns. Car was so ahead of it's time it was mind boggling. I got upgraded steering wheel, newer isf wheels, coilovers , spoilers, borla exhaust blah blah lol it's a head turner. 1UZFE FTW ! 🔥 That looks great btw!!! 🔥
I ain't gonna lie that redesign looks good
Same
It's basically the car from the movie Taxi now
not really lol. i kept asking him and others to come to a guiled server called "you were sent here" to give him ideas beause coments section bot make my comments go away often, but i havnt got a response. i not sure if you gusy can see this coment either.
He could’ve done more to be honest compared to his other videos the before and after on this car looks exactly the same it’s basically like someone slapped aftermarket mods to the outside of their Lexus LS new rims and a splitter the car doesn’t really look modernized at all
@@redhunnid5142 i think he can do lot more in his video in general , he asked him a lot to get on a guilded server so i can give ideas because bot erases lot of my comments, but i guess he doesnt see them or he doesnt care, maybe its because he releases better content on his patreom but i dont want to pay to see stuff i just want to give ideas
Whaaaat? I think the new LS500 looks great!! Mostly the graceful front end. The rear quarters look a bit bubbled out and like a fish, then the rear fascia looks good and clean.
ikrrrrrrrrrrrr. It looks really nice
they absolutely ruined the front lights in the facelift by removing those intricate whiskers of front DRL imo, but the fundamentals are solid to me

He complains when each car brand doesn't have its own "design identity," but then when they do come up with a unique design identity, that is special only unto them, that he doesn't agree with he complains about that too.
So maybe the LS 500 is a little overwatch, looking more like something out of a Japanese anime that a German design studio. Who cares, I like it!
Love your redesigns, but can you modernize the first Audi TT? I think it would look amazing
into a ltous elise type of car. renault nissan once talked about putting a smaller battery version of nissan e power into alpne a110
Looks like a restomod. Interesting take.
3:59 I agree the 13 has this strong look to it. The single spine/buldge on the hood doesn't hurt. Its very original. Ive never seen anything like that before in those proportions.
I must say I like the 1991 best. I looks great when the grille goes all the way to the headlights, giving a cleaner look and makes the front end look wider.
As a 1995 Lexus LS400 owner i must say....
THATS GORGEOUS😍
This is an absolutely dope upgrade rendition. I have a 2000 LS 400 in Black and wish I could have mine redesigned to look like this in real life.
I normally am a fan of your redesigns, it’s just a little too like a Toyota Chaser to me. I think you were going for a JDM/VIP inspired look, so it really fitted the brief.

SketchMonkey, the 1990 LS on the rear pic is actually the second gen from 1998. You can see the difference in the C-pillar from the front pic. Just like the front lights, the rear lights also resembled the S-Class of then.
The rear end you showed or the ucf10 (90-94) is for the ucf20 pre facelift (95-97) the 20 had a facelift mid cycle. They are very similar regardless, but that’s why you didn’t see a big difference between the dry and second
make a GMC denali into a sedan
Looks like an Acura Legend.
Looks great! I love it how you take classic 80s & 90s cars and modernise them. There should be a niche market for these kind of cars.
I have an 07. Love this gen. Truly the last best generation of LS
I hàte the new current LS, so I am very happy and glad you designed and modernize the old one....
My favorite lexus LS is the ls400s 95-97s. I like the updated grill and the lights look slightly different from the older years
I’d lengthen the cabin and shorten the trunk a lil more
Your redesign looks a lot better than the original. You should be employed by Lexus and others to design future cars bruh. Excellent job.
Absolutely gorgeous! Nice job . Just wished it came out from factory like that one ..
the back end of the 1990 ls400 is wrong its a whole redesign in 1995 love the vid man
You forgot to change the mercedes logo on the wheel cap
Looks hella clean. I’d buy one right now if they recreated it this way with an amazing new interior
Not that it matters, but since you are so detailed with your backstory, the LS430 had two nearly identical versions: 01-03 (pre-facelift) and 04-06 (facelift). After I got one, I bumped into meme wars within the 430 community, about which version is better. Unless you know, you would have no idea.
also the 1st gen was 89-94 and 2nd gen was 95-00 with a facelift in 97
Loved the redesign!!!! you should try the first generation of the Jeep Compass, the front look's kinda funky
That redesign looks like an E38 7 Series with the sport package. That was a great car and iconic for 7.
The thing is it will never exist because it has the old Lexus styling but it’s super nice !
This is the best LS design I've seen... I hope car companies get back to building REAL sedans.. Nice MBZ wheels too BTW, you could've changed the center caps! 😂
If you squint your eyes, the front end of the 2007 LS vaguely resembles a Volkswagen Passat CC.
was waiting for this car! thanks for finally doing it 😯
I wish you showed the facelifts and in the first Lexus you showed you put the wrong back end but regardless I enjoyed the video
I have a 96 LS and I've been waiting for you to redesign it cause I love modernization and that's what I've been doing to mine
Keep up the restomods - aesthetically very pleasing! :-)
Now that u did the LS could you do a modernized 1st or 2nd gen GS plz
I was hoping til the last second that you would copy the L emblem from the grill onte the stars on the rims, except that it is an awesome restomod. I hope at some point real sedans will have a comeback
Having recently shifted to a '06 Lexus LS430 from a '10 Mercedes C250 CGI, this video is extra special for me.
Great redesign sketch 👌
I'll be SOOOO happy if do the Toyota Etios sedan redesign 🇧🇷🙏
I would buy that tomorrow if they built it with modern tech inside.
What you do is si BAD ASS.
I can't wait to see what you design next.
Im still enjoying my 98' LS400....wouldn't change it for nothing🤾♂️
To look new the grill has to be massive but love the work ❤
I have a 14 LS F-Sport I think that and the facelift 430 was peak LS design, I would love to see a redesign of the current model, I think it has potential if the design was tweaked a little, it doesn’t have the presence of the older LS’s
please, do a redesign of the early generation Acura TL. 2000 Acura TL in specific. Honda killed it with their Acura TL line up and are kinda underrated.
Awesome! Has some E38 seven series vibes going on
96-97 UCF20 is really the best looking of the 1UZ powered cars.
1:56 You got the wrong rear image for the 1990. Those lexus had those taillights on the 1995-2000 models.
Day 2 of asking for the GM Ev1 redesign
Makes me want to buy an LS460 and VIP that ish with air runner and some high end body kit snd full faced wheels
Now i would love for you to do a SC.
It's not a modern Lexus without the spindle grille. This needs it. The other thing it needs is door handles. How am I supposed to drive it if I can't get in?
Just a heads up the first generation rear end does not look like that. That's a second gen rear end you have next to the first gen. And you don't even have the pre face lift 2nd generation (95-98). The 99-00 was the 2nd gen face lift, not first
The “1991” rear end is not the correct.. The 91 rear end looked way different with the antenna coming out the driver rear quarter panel. That’s how you couldn’t really tell much of a difference because those are both 98 rear ends. Also, The Ls430 facelift in 04 is really more smooth than the 01-03.
I Like This Redesign, This Is A Simple Car Desgin We Need, Not Some Ridiculous Car With Oversized Grille & Hyper Futuristic Design.
Love your redesign! Great work. Thanks
front skirt could poke out a little less, makes it look like a aftermarket body style which is more suiting to jdm style cars
Funny thing is of you just drop the rear suspension with large tires you can almost get that look irl
The lines look much much better when the suspensions keeps both ends almost level,
The ls430 is the best no compromise of old to newer LS ones.
with how weak muscle cars have gotten lately, this would make a great muscle sedan for lexus, just a big V8 box with strong square proportions, i do think a modern lexus looks a bit odd without the huge hourglass grill
Another beautiful redesign 💚💚💚💚💚💚
so are we going to ignore that on the first generation, the rear picture is actually the UCF20 facelift
I'm a big Lexus and Toyota fan. Been waiting a long time for this!
Can you please do an old Camry or ES300 next?
Can we get a modernized redesign of the 1993 Lexus GS300?
I have the exact same maroon one at 1:20 abd a guy ik in my same town has the green one we actually met at a deftones concert in the parking lot cause of our cars we parked right next to each other lol
Ok, I’m typically not a fan of your style, and only follow you for the info you give, but I’d buy that redesigned Lexus any day, that looks amazing
I ain’t gonna lie… 3/4 of your sketches end up making every single car look like a Dodge Challenger 😂😂
Nobody’s gonna talk about how he put Mercedes wheels on the redesign? Perfect touch btw, matches with its past
I agree with your design opinion however the 1989-1994 LS's rear was never shown instead you skipped to the 1995-1997 LS, and put a the 1998-2000. Also it's notable that for the ls430 that the 2001-2003 was different than the 2004-2006
The first gen has a much more curved rear window and narrower c pillar. You compared the rear of the gen 2 to itself from the back
Great video. Do 1 with the lexus sc300
Could you do a modern redesign of the Lexus sc400/Toyota soarer???
Can you start sketching the redesigns?
The 1998 facelift wasn't a facelift of the original 1st gen, it was a facelift of the 2nd gen, which started in 1995. it's the same as the 1998 but with a different fascia, and in my opinion it's the best looking one. The 98 redesign looks too modern. I like the 90s style of the 1995.
EDIT: the 2nd picture (the rear view of the red car) is a 1995 2nd gen, not a 1990 1st gen. They're different, it's actually pretty easy to see the differences.
Queen Latifah would like her Taxi back
@thesketchmoney I would love to see your design take on the $300k Cadillac Celestiq. I hear it's sold out through 2025, and I'm seriously confused by some of their design choices.
You mixed up the 96-99 rear end in your first example for the 90-94
Please bring back to life the Explorer SportTrack
That redesign is awesome wish that was made
Could you modernize the toyota century?
I love Lexus, and am a Fan of the GM, particularly the Cad/BOP divisions of the 60s. I always thought if GM had weathered the 70s and early 80s better, Cadillac and Buick would have become what Lexus is, in our recent (post OBD2) history.
It was, as if, Toyota realized the luxury divisions of GM had abandoned their original mission statement at the end of the 60s. Toyota (Lexus) just adopted the 'outdated' M/O.
PS: I often refer to my 99 Lexus GS as a Gran Sport, like the legendary Buick.
I disagree on the brand new LS. On paper, it might look a little too busy, but in person, it has so much presence.
This looks like a carina 212. Why dont you do a redesign for one of those
You got the rear end of the 90 wrong, thats the 98 model
Very informative video. Can you redesign a 1989 Ranger Xtra cab?
He shows photos of the gen 2 for the first gen and also the rear photo of the gen 1 is a gen 2
You should redesign the 1990 LS400 the real OG.
It's good looking. But it too much resembles a rebadged Avalon, which of course shares many things with this gen LS.
Thats not called redesign he just tinted the window in black and put big wheels thats custume tunning ,if you really wanna redesign a can give new shape to bumper make some wide fenders change headlights give new look both edges of greenhouse make bit sharp . But this guy just custom car not redesign them .
The redesign reminds me of the Lincoln LS 🧐
That thing is Gangsta!
If I was an auto maker I would hire you for the design
Really slick, just needs a more subtle front spliter and some chrome back (its a luxury sedan, it needs a little bit of chrome), and it would be perfect.
Please redesign the Lexus is 300!
It barely changed. maybe a 5% difference. a backyard tuner can easily do that
nope, it looks outdated already.
i feel like you made it a bit too sporty-ish looking.
2:18 IM SHOCKED you have always been a fan of this design because i absolutely hate the front clip design. I thought it was droopy and sad. The entire car was a let down in design for me. Next...
This classic LS silhouette is superb.
