A V8 engine with the power of a V12 with fuel efficiency of a V6, these are the challenges for Lexus engineer, they said dropping a v12 just to compete with Mercedes, BMW, Audi and the likes is not even a challenge.

Lexus continues to improve their VDIM stability system. It's an engineering masterpiece that integrates and manages stability control, electronic controlled anti-lock brakes, electronic brake force distribution and engine torque via an electronically controlled throttle. The system anticipates the onset of a vehicle skid or slide while cornering and helps correct the situation that is transparent to the driver.
The pre-collision system, already featured in other Lexus models, has been developed to provide even better performance. Using a millimeter-wave radar and two cameras, this system can detect not just large metallic objects like cars, but for the first time, human pedestrians—a world first.
Another world first for the 600h L is the Driver Monitor System. It uses a camera mounted on the steering column to monitor the orientation of the driver's head. If it determines the driver is looking away from the road ahead at the same time as a collision threat is detected, the system will sound a warning chime and gently apply the brakes.
hanep!

August 1st, 2007 03:38 PM #10Ang mahal naman.... Even though I HEARD Lexus, having failed to match the basic BMW 3-series with the IS, is going straight for the big dog M3 with its new IS-F. Under the massively bulged hood you see here is a 5.0-liter beast of a V-8 engine putting out over 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. Behind big nineteen-inch BBS front wheels lie six-pot aluminum Brembo Lexus brake caliper--the first ever with "Lexus" written across them--squeezing down on 14.2-inch perforated discs that hope to also clamp down on the lips of Lexus-doubters.
The IS-F borrows its far-beyond-necessity eight-speed transmission from the LS, but unlike in the LS, gearbox can be controlled via wheel-mounted paddles. Lexus claims that upshifts are popped off in a tenth of a second, and downshifts are met with automated blips of the throttle to match engine revs. Hope Lexus would have the gutts to throw in the M3.. With personally.. nagdududa ako..
Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
