60 @ 1200; 131 @ 2400 .... how fast ya gonna be at redline ?
amazing numbers.... btw, that's one hell of a shot there DR, steady as a rock ....

 

Well, I was driving in Comfort Mode after all - grin

 

there isn't enough horsepower to get to redline in 10th gear.

 

140 MPH on the F1 track in Austin, at a Lexus Performance Driving School event.

Car felt amazing. Stood on the brakes from that speed for a hard left turn at Turn 12, still felt amazing.

But these were bespoke builds with ~500-600 miles on them.

 

I had mine to 275kph(170mph) or 285kph (177mph) a few times, and constantly cruise at 240kph (149mph), it's glorious. When the German Autobahn works, it works so well.

She won't go over 275/285, at all. I'll see if I have a photo or video. Can't remember which one it was!

 

Just noticed that!

 

160 mph on I 85 from VA to NC middle of afternoon but had to lift for traffic

 

Now I'm tempted to take my LC to COTA bc the LC should be able to do much higher than 140mph on the back straight at COTA. I've done 145MPH in a Bentley Bentayga at COTA for example.

 

145 mph with my LC500H on autobahn last month.

 

Yeah the instructors capped us at 140 on the straights, we were in groups of 4 and the leader lifted about 5-7 seconds before reaching our braking zone.

Did a hot lap at the end of the day with Scott Pruett in an RC-F, and very specifically watched to see how fast he could get it at the same spot. Where we got to ~140, he took it to 145.

 

It was 5:30 am on a lovely straight stretch near Tucomcari, NM. My LC cried out to be set free from the bounds of civility and the law. I was all a-tremble as I pressed down on the exhilarator, wondering what kind of thrilling madness had overtaken me, and at the same time gasping with curiosity at the potential that lay beneath my right foot. Surging forward with animal strength and the raging roar of an ancient pachyderm the LC speedometer raced in a clockwise direction until it settled at 73 mph and an astonishing 1500 rpm, while the fuel economy indicator plummeted to 31.7 mpg! This brilliant car was not the least unsettled by this excursion to velocities beyond human understanding, even though it was devoid of a rear spoiler and side skirts. What a car! What a thrill! If we never approach this velocity again, this one adventure into the unknown — and unknowable — will have to suffice.

 

When talking about the 75 mph-1500 rpm, I tell folks all the time that I've had motorcycles that idled at 1000 rpm and that was standing still.

I've recently had a chance to take the LC above the stock limit with a tune. I've had 303kph (188mph) indicated on the dash, and will need to confirm with GPS. Might take a video when I have time.

 

140mph on SR18

 

I thought the ECU is locked.. Waht tune did you use to get over the limit?
