Apparently the LX570 can do close to 140, which is ungoverned and faster than the LS430.
@SW17LS --
Wind noise does not increase dramatically at all past 90, still stays quiet as a tomb inside. But yeah, you're going faster so it is a little louder.
Range Rover and others could learn a thing or two from Lexus if that's the case as you are saying. I went up past 100, still extremely quiet.

I wouldn’t drive an LX at 140 lol

Me neither lol. Pretty impressive top speed though for what it is I think, who needs a non-performance SUV that will go 138MPH???

I haven’t been above 120mph on a U.S. road since I was a teen. And even when I did hit 120mph it was a very short burst while passing someone in Wyoming. It’s just not for me - I’m far more into challenging twisty roads, the occasional legal high speed jaunt, and track days.

Not my proudest moment but I’ve hit the 130 mph limiter a couple times in my X7. To be honest it was a quick burst and got up to the limit before I even knew it and I only knew it because it wouldn’t go any faster. It actually felt pretty stable.

Motor Trend's SUV of the year, the fabulous EV Blazer... There's a stop sale it's such a great vehicle. The Motor Trend article fanboyism is hard to avoid, complete garbage fake news.

140 in the sequoia
105 in the Jeep
167 in the truck (out of gear not power)
150 in my dads Range Rover, got to 100 fast
115 in the Touareg
187 in the 4.0 A8, only 3 times though....it heat soaks bad after about 115 and after 130 there is no way it can keep up with the W12 and is already behind that car.
130 in the 460 (limiter)
130 in the W12 (limiter, but I hit it near every drive)
I'm getting the W12 delimited for a 200+ run soon

Having a stop sale happen doesn't mean the model is bad.
