  1. I don't get why they don't like Lexus, and Hammond's comments of "It's just a Lexus" really winds me up, end of the day you could say that about BMW's - Its just a BMW!!

    The noise thou is amazing, and its like Clarkson said "its like an old F1" car. The attention to detail is very good : Where the right paddle shift is lighter than the left (so you know your going the right way) and how the mirrors force air into the vents, and how most of it is carbon fiber to keep the weight down, and the dials have to be computerized because analog ones can't keep up with how the engine gains and loose rev's so fast!

    If i had £320,000 i would try to buy one, as i don't think theres anything out there like it!

    The price is steep, but it has taken them 9 years, and is mainly made from carbon!!

  2. The strange noise in the Auto is the traction control, and is coming from the box.

    Also, the brakes don't lock the slipping wheel. The wheel with less friction spins because it does not have an LSD, which means the wheel with less friction spins.

    Im aware the only system that uses brakes part of the TRC is the ones with things like VSC

    Try this. Park on wheel on ice, and the other on solid tarmac, you will still have a job moving the car!

  3. TRC does not kill the engine, it just reduces engine output even further when one or more wheels does not have traction.

    If you go outside on some ice, plant your foot down with TRC on, it will let the wheels spin minimal. Turn the TRC OFF, and the wheels will spin all the way to the rev limiter.

    Snow mode also reduces throttle response and power. In my old Auto, snow mode changed gear at 4500RPM even if my foot was flat down. On the manual, if you sit on your engine, drive very slowly and put your foot down, you will see the throttle body only opens a certain amount
