LC500 review High Peak Autos

[Malc]

OMG no, if ever I went that fast my backside would be there before my front !

On the very rare occasions there's passengers in the back then that would be an issue .........  no space here for another car tbh ...  even my old and ancient 1932 Triumph Southern Cross Sports Tourer has to live with my nephew ........ and no, I didn't buy that from new either 

Just got a bit of a " bug " about cars when I used to own a used car garage and loved driving around in stock cars .  I mean ordinary cars for sale .  the odd Bentley, RR, Mercs, Aston or two and of course my first Ls400 some 20+ years ago  ......  interspersed with run-o-t'mil Fords, BMWs etc

.......... the BMW 645i was a bit of a beast tho' to be sure

Top speed does seem to be a bit more consistent though at 168 mph. 

I suspect that it is a limiter (equates to 270 kph). The RCF has a similar quoted top speed and it accelerates well up to a point then stops you going faster. The speedo on mine read 177 mph when electronics stopped the fun, despite repeated attempts to go faster. I imagine 177 on the clock was 168 actual.

I can recommend  the newish 3 lane section of Autobahn 4 to the East of Aachen, early on summer Sunday. Conveniently it is on the route between Spa and the Nurburgring
