Arrow LS400 (Celsior) (F10) the Development of History and Chronology

Recently, I found a few channels on Youtube that had collections of clips from the 1990's that spoke about the 1989/1990 UCF10/UCF11 Toyota Celsior (Lexus LS400).

It's some pretty cool stuff; although, I can't understand Japanese.

If anyone would be willing to translate what is being said, it would be much appreciated!

One person of particular interest who was interviewed is Ichiro Suzuki. A lot of features are shown, including the Traction Control system, which are accompanied by performance tests.

Without further ado, here are the clips in order: [This post may seem long]

Here is an additional clip from a Japanese TV show called "Best Motoring". This episode is very cool, as it shows the parts of the 1UZ-FE.

And here are some clips of the Toyota Celsior against cars, such as the Infiniti Q45, including a drag race, a panic brake test, and a track race:

I hope you enjoyed viewing these clips!

I just will translate the final part of the final video. The driver Nakaya who drove the Celsor said, “Anyone can drive as fast as I can. The traction control does a very good job. All you need is to push the gas pedal and the car controls the traction well enough resulting the best run among others”.

I thought I had, as well! There are a few more around, but I didn't post them here. I keep an archive of all commercials and a lot of media, regarding the UCF10/UCF11 LS/Celsior.

You're very welcome! Maybe I should start a media thread. Hah

Thank you, Yamae! Now, I can add that text to my captions file for the video.

I just discovered that two of the video links were actually not working; specifically #6 and #7 in the first set of videos. They have now been fixed.
