Default 2026 Power

It’s a shame Lexus didn’t wring a little more power out of the 2026 Heritage Edition.
2026 Nissan Armada twin turbo 3.5V6 Nismo is pumping out 460hp and 516 torque.
That kind of power increase would have been enuff reason for us to snap up the final edition of the LS500.

I agree I do wish they added some more power for the outgoing LS but who am I kidding, I was hoping they would make an LS-F lol.

Line them up for a race and the LS still wins. Plus. It's still a Nissan. But I agree they could've added more power. It's basically just turned down. I'm still considering that JB4.

Yeah, the Nissan is a heavy slow SUV. My point is that they are getting more power and torque from a like size V6 twin turbo. Lexus should have given us more.

I understand. It would be nice. That would make it a high 12 second 1/4 mile car from the factory. They were able to get 13.3@107mph out of the last model. That still isn't slow by any means.
