Sports cars automakers have ascended the auto industry’s ladder to become some of the most popular and consumer friendly in the whole world.
Us roads are filled with mainly compact sedans and big bulky pick ups, trucks and SUVs. That's what's mainstream right now in the US, your daily commuter for the average person. A car that would go A to B just fine. But many of us want something with style and the power to go, we prefer cars with a character. Something that will reflect a part of our personality. A machine that is worth remembering for days to come. Lexus is a manufacturer that provides the three key ingredients for the perfect combination - power, style, reliability. We organized the fastest models and packages that rolled out with the LEXUS logo on their bonnet, Here's our list of :
"The Fastest 9 LEXUS cars !"
650 bhp / 5.0L / 0-62 mph in 3.9 seconds / 200mph / 2050kg
The Lexus TMG TS-650, a rather cold and unglamorous name for a 650bhp, 200mph limo that can tear shreds out of supercars. Based on the Lexus LS460, there’s no price tag or spec list to detail, as this is destined to be a one-off prototype. And if you read on, you’ll realise that’s very sad news indeed.
The TS-650 uses the 2UR-GSE naturally aspirated 5-litre V8 from the Lexus IS-F. To this two Garrett GT2871R turbos are added and the compression ratio dropped from 11.8:1 to 9.6:1. The cylinder heads, pistons, intake manifolds and con rods are new and the valve timing has been adjusted for the blowers. The sump has been redesigned to cope with the higher cornering forces, the oil jets modified and there’s extra cooling for the pistons.
Compared to the Lexus LS460’s outputs, the upshot is 68 per cent more power (641bhp at 6500rpm compared to 382bhp) and 55 per cent more torque (564lb ft at 5460rpm compared to 364lb ft). All that is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed Aisin automatic transmission with paddle-shift. Despite the still-prodigious 2000kg kerb weight, TMG claims a sub-4sec 0-60 time and 200mph top speed.
