When Lexus TS-650 is a one-off production of Vercarmodel Saro Srl , which on behalf of Toyota Motorsport GmbH based on the LS 460 L was born. The premiere took place on November 30, 2012 at the 45th Essen Motor Show . Series production of the model is only intended to start after a minimum number of inquiries have been received. According to a statement by Yoshiaki Kinoshita, the large-scale production for the European markets has already been approved by the relevant authorities. The TS-650 is also considered to be the first Lexus brand concept vehicle to be manufactured in Europe.

Toyota used the Michelin Pilot Sport tires for its prototype. In order to achieve a better braking effect, a carbon ceramic brake system from the manufacturer Brembo was used.
