First Lexus Twin Turbo V8

Miko M · 02-01-2020, 05:42 PM

LC Race Car was spotted and it has wide hips

High pitched squeal from the gear box won't be present on the road car. It should have 600HP

Enjoy the video

So an ME 262? That's your only choice. But yeah, sounds wicked.

Isn't some billionaire trying to restore one?

Oops, it was Paul Allen, not sure what the current status is.

I commend Lexus on doing this, but feel they should instead concentrate their resources on sporty cars that are attainable to most luxury buyers.

I say this as an IS owner who's been waiting for a redesign which isn't going to happen anytime soon if at all. The RC is also stale as hell.

Heikel had two, a single engine (first jet) and a competitor to the ME-262. Then there was the Glosser Meteor.

Yeah, perhaps the 262 was the only one that saw significant combat. There were apparently a shedload that actually flew before the end of the war.

Also didn't realize our trusty brand was good at jet engines.

Agree, they need to work on their focus and where they expect to fit in. The RC/LC are nice but just come up short in their price bracket.

Android Auto and Apple Carplay are FINALLY options for Toyota/Lexus this year though... Took em a while.

Interesting. As a Lexus fan this would be nice, but I imagine the price point will be less than affordable for most. Loving the sound though.
