Also where in the rev range the extra torque is.

Why does everone talk about BHP, torque is the noticeable bit that makes you accelerate, more torque better acceleration Torque for go, power for speed.

absolutely!

what are they doing to give this extra figure John?

is it a upgrade that is similar to one for the MKI / MKII - or a MKIII specific one?

if so very quick off the mark for mods for the gen III - well done Mark and TDI :D

There are other threads on this. The dealer needs to prove that a mod was responsible for a failure covered under warranty to reject a claim.

:) It's a re-map I think of the Fuel and timing not VVT alteration.

But it will probably invalidate your insurance if not declared

[Lexusjohn]

:) Who if anyone could tell, even lexus service engineers probably would not go looking for info in the engine management dept, I don,t think I would bother with this as the car is very quick anyway, IMHO it's faster than 7.2secs too 60MPH in the states they got it at around 6.8secs, seems more beleavable to me. 0-100 is very quick. Mid range is good too.The deception is the cars quietness, whilst sceeming away, others make a song and dance (BMW 3.0 D)lexus does it in relative silence.

Any change from standard spec you don't declare could invalidate your insurance including tyres. Insuance companies will wriggle out of paying any way they can.

Autocar road test reports 0-60mph 6.9secs http://www.autocar.co.uk/RoadTest_FullData.asp?RT=214784

Lexus UK claim 0-100km/h (62mph) 7.2secs

The gear ratios work well for these speeds as only one change is required

I wonder what effect it has on fuel economy
