    458bhp in the latest cars.
  2. Chafford1
    Now changed to 457bhp.
  3. Chafford1
    451bhp in UK according to the Lexus UK media site so European emissions ruses taking their toll.
  4. Chafford1
    Power for the LC500 special edition down to 464 DIN hp / 457 bhp according to the Lexus Europe and UK media sites. Another victim of the Euro 6d emissions rules.

    Quoted horsepower on the Lexus Europe and Lexus UK media websites for the new yellow V8 special edition: 464 DIN hp/ 457 bhp. So like the RCF, the LC500 V8 is suffering a marginal loss of power under the new European 6d emissions rules.
  6. Chafford1
    Possibly move this thread to the LC500 forum?
  7. Chafford1
    Shame. Such a beautiful car.
  8. Chafford1
    Carbon looks good with silver.

    I like the look of this and the interior looks impressive. A smaller version of the LS by the look of it. Pity about the lack of engine choice, but given Lexus is relatively speaking a niche product in Europe, not surprising. Given that the ES has always been priced below the GS in the US, it will be interesting to see whether the same will apply in the UK.

    New 4 cylinder hybrid engine giving 215 hp, F Sport version available, 3.5 V6 available in some European countries but not in UK. On sale in Europe in September and in UK in January 2019. http://media.lexus.co.uk/2018/04/new-lexus-es-higher-level-performance-sophistication/

    ES300h here in January 2019 according to Lexus Stocport on twitter.
  12. Chafford1
    Why?
  13. Chafford1
    You should have gone to Specsavers!
  14. Chafford1
    Looks like a bargain. What would you get new for £14k?
  15. Chafford1
    Doesn't the V8 LC500 have a louder exhaust?
  16. Chafford1
    And on that note we (Linas included) await the formal unveiling of the ES later this month.
  17. Chafford1
    Agree the Arteon is a very good car. More spacious than an A5 and approaching it in terms of quality. Also agree FWD is not an issue in regular driving.

    A few performance figures from the Australian PDrive You Tube site: 0-60kmh/0-100kmh (62mph)/Standing 1/4 (sec) RCF 2.65/5.04/13.20 GSF 2.63/5.08/13.24 LC500h 2.97/5.56/14.03 LC500 2.74/5.12/13.45 M4 Competition 2.80/4.71/12.84 F Type 400 Sport (V6) 2.69/4.96/13.25 F Type SVR (V8) 2.06/3.82/11.90 McLaren 570S Spyder 1.93/3.25/10.99

    Agree on the looks. Clean elegant design.
  20. Chafford1
    Surely they are going to have to drop the price now that the new model is available at around the same price.
  21. Chafford1
    The Lexus used car website lists a very nice looking year old LS600h - but for the price of new LS500h.
  22. Chafford1
    S90 T8 is a plug in hybrid with a 4 cylinder engine. The Genesis G90 is probably the closest fit for your LS460 but it's not on sale in the UK. Mercedes S500 is now a turbo charged straight 6 mild hybrid with 450 hp - BMW 750i still has a V8. Aren't most of these big saloons now configured as 4 seaters - if you want more space you go for an SUV.
  23. Chafford1
    LC500h versus RCF - 30 mph rolling start - now that would be interesting!
  24. Chafford1
    The LS500H weighs between 2300 - 2400kg depending on the version. The RCF weighs around 1800kg and has around 100 more horsepower. I can't therefore see how the LS could beat an RCF in a rolling race even with electric assistance. The figures just don't add up. But I may be wrong!!

    AWD an option on the Luxury model, standard on the Premier model. All wheel steerng on the F sport with 2WD.
