Videos LS460L driven hard.

[Mr. M]

I'm really glad - this is Singapore's own version of Top Gear! (sorta)

I'm very, very happy that we have something that I can finally enjoy watching/reading - CarBuyer is a free tabloid that focuses everything on cars, and cars only!

Enjoy the video review of the LS460L, in which they drove this car pretty hard...

They didn't really show much, their was about 30secs of driving in the vid!

Never seen a Lexus abused like that before, even if it was short clip.

It's a Lexus! It can handle it.

Great watch

They only have a low budget, that's why. If they have TG's kind of funding then it'll be a different story. I like the fact that they are making the effort in producing such clips, it's a joy for people like me who have never seen such interest in cars before in Singapore.

BTW, those two in the clip are how most Singaporeans speak, just like I do. A weird deformed type of English.

They really push it! I haven't seen an LS being driven like that before either. Thanks for the vid, Mirage!

It's a nice car, but it still looked like a pig going through that long bend.

I seen a mineral gray one Wednesday, it was BEAUTIFUL. I think its an overall EXCELLENT car.

My thoughts exactly, way too much body roll. Nothing impressive about this. I can do the same with a Lincoln Town Car.

I agree.

Why is that surprising..? Isn't wasn't designed to be a GT3 and you can imagine it would be the same story in the S-Class. Neither of those vehicles were meant for this hooligan style. Either way, I think it's interesting to see a vehicle of this sort being driven hard.

The S-Class wouldn't lean like a bloated whale in that corner either. It isn't about being designed to run around a track or to be a GT3. The car has flaccid handling. Interesting to see, but not impressive at least to me.

I can get a Cadillac DTS or Lincoln Town Car to do the same thing, nothing to write home about. Road and Track did a roadtest of the Rolls Phantoms and it can do it also.

There's no need to slam the LS by calling it a bloated whale. I really don't think the S-Class and the LS are going to be that different in this operation, especially as neither of the vehicles were made for doing this.

Obviously any car can do power sliding, not denying that.

Anyways, I suppose we'll agree to disagree.

I call them as I see them. A S-Class, especially one with ABC wouldn't lean nearly that much. I happen to like the LS but its looks aren't anything to write home about especially when its leaning like the QE2.

Please, I've read many of your post and your bias towards Mercedes is almost as strong as mind towards Porsche!
The funnies think about your post is that the S-Cass can't touch the S8 or 760i in the handling department!

Well, I doubt anyone can pass judgement until we see a real test.

 

[Merc1]

You haven't seen a S with ABC cornering? I have many times. There is no lean like that.

An S-Class with ABC wipes the floor with the LS, no doubt but it would be interesting to compare them with standard suspension although I think the S might have the edge there as well.
