    Next-Generation Lexus ES & ES F SPORT Prototypes Spotted!

    I wish this is the new ES instead of new GS, I'd rather have GS died instead of live of misery of FWD... and I don't know about you guys, but the new ES seems to have lower window position than current ES, kinda reminds me of how the new Camry is compared to outgoing Camry, basically looks more...

    Motor Trend: Lexus LC 500 & LC 500h Instrumented Test

    Lexus set a extremely low target of 50 units a month, that's why it seems like they sell quite well... and, if 1,800 units of preorders already gave them 3 years waiting list, it meant Lexus only produce the car in extremely low unit annually, that still doesn't makes it "selling extremely well".

    V6-Powered Lexus LS 350 Debuts at China Auto Show

    I was hoping LS 200t for China or other Asia country, because Lexus sold poorly in Asia was mainly because everyone else (Jaguar, Audi, Mercedes, BMW) has tiny displacement engine while Lexus LS was "V8-only".

    Motor Trend: Lexus LC 500 & LC 500h Instrumented Test

    So, Lexus LC is just like Lexus NX & Lexus RX, make to looks like something that it totally wasn't. It's a shame they mated the amazing 5L V8 with a 4-speed automatic with 6 overdrive, would be nice if they pair with a close ratio box to get the most out of the engine. I won't be surprised if...

    Lexus RC 200t to Race at 24 Hours of Nürburgring

    I'm surprised Gazoo Racing only put ONE car in 24hrs Nurburgring this year, when they put THREE cars in the same series last year... last year, they had both RC200t, RC F, and a prototype C-HR, as you can see here.

    Lexus RC F GT Concept Finishes First in Car & Driver's Annual Lightning Lap

    The different between RC F GT & M4 GTS or even Viper ACR is that , the RC F doesn't have to meet any road legal regulation in term of intakes , exhaust , suspension , brakes , and even the tires ... yes , no doubt cars like 911 GT3 RS is seriously hardcore , but at least they still has tires...

    Lexus RC F GT Concept Finishes First in Car & Driver's Annual Lightning Lap

    500 horsepower might not be a lot more on paper , but sometime it really is difficult to make more horsepower when you gotta meet all the regulation ; but as for weights , downforce , grips ... Lexus should improve there .
