The new Legend looks the very epitome of a luxury sports saloon. However, it's much more than that. Get behind the wheel, sample the Super Handling-All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) and highly responsive 3.5i litre all-aluminium engine and you soon realise it has pure bred racing instincts in every atom of its construction. With handling characteristics close to our legendary NSX supercar, the Legend breaks all the rules.
The sleek lines of the Legend not only give expression to the power train within, they're highly efficient when it comes to aerodynamics. The steep sloping bonnet and short overhangs are designed to assist airflow over the body, production high levels of performance and stability.
You may not be surprised to discover that the Legend comes with a beautifully designed soft-touch leather interior and memory select for both driver and passenger seat positions. You may not be surprised to discover that it comes with a voice activated Satellite Navigation system. You may not even be surprised to discover it comes with an on board Global Positioning System (GPS) that uses optical sensors to determine the sun's position and automatically adjust the interior climate. What you may be surprised with, however, is that they all come as standard.
At the heart of the Legend is an impressive 3.5i VTEC, 24 valve all aluminium V6 engine, generating 295PS at 6,200rpm, delivered through a dual mode automatic gear box.
This alone provides impressive power. However, as part of the overall development of creating exceptional power to weight ratios, we added magnesium cylinder head covers, an aluminium intake manifold and other weight reducing measures throughout the car. It all means the Legend id capable of performance levels of the highest order.
Inspired by our racing knowledge, the Legend's dashboard is ergonomically designed to give you complete control. This means superb clarity of gauges and dials, steering wheel mounted gear shifts, a voice activated Satellite Navigation system and all essential controls just a fingertip away.
When it comes to driving position, the steering wheel is electronically adjustable for reach and rake. For assured comfort on longer distances, the driver's seat is electronically adjustable to eight ways, with powered lumbar support.
With separate temperature controls for driver and front passenger, the innovative climate control uses GPS optical sensors to determine the position of the sun and automatically sets the most comfortable environment.
