watch this video

Its the CL65 not sl65 but you get the idea

Some quotes from the video

Let me show you what happens when you try to get the car rolling (car is peeling out and not moving) eventually you do start to move, but only after your tires have been transferred from the wheels onto the road.

Of course you can stop that from happening by turning on the tracktion controll. Great but all this does is regn the engine in and slow it down. Then why have all the power in the first place???


if the top speed is governed by the gentelmens agreement?(at 155mph) and the acceleration from 0-60 whats the point of this car?

I love the end when they play tug of war. CL65 (700+ft lbs of torque vs 8 people. guess who wins?



you should definetly watch the vid. its definetly worth the time to download

Go the Japs. You can't beat quality when it comes to Lexus. European luxury cars are way too overpriced (in Australia anyway, I'm not sure about the U.S).

Personally I love Toyota's, say what you will, but here's a supercar they're still testing. Could cost in the $100,000 range, and has over 500bhp.
Toyota make the most reliable cars in the business.




And here's the article:

Toyota has been eyeing Nissan's success with the revived 350Z - and apparently, from spy pictures nabbed this week, it's been a little jealous of supercars like the Porsche Carrera GT, too. Toyota 's been caught testing what some insiders are calling the "TXS," a limited-production exotic that might be powered by a V-10 engine worth 500 hp.

Pictures show the TXS with enough cladding to disguise much of its shape, but clearly, this is no Celica or MR2-sized sportscar. Insiders suggest the car will tip in at less than 3000 pounds, giving its 500-hp powerplant (with 370 lb-ft of torque) a serious chance at catching the likes of the Porsche and Benz supercars. Top speed could reach 190 mph, the same league as the 550-hp Ford GT. Whether the drivetrain offers any version of Toyota 's hybrid technology is unknown.

Whether the final vehicle is sold as a Lexus or as a Toyota , it's likely that a limited production run of about 10,000 units is in order. Expect a debut at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show and an on-sale date soon after - with a price tag well over $100,000.

the evo...fater than an SL65.....vay ara mera.......... you people need to get your heads together and get off the vtek shti

what the xxxx is a vtek shti?

First of all you spelled vtek wrong and the evo is not a honda and therefore no vtec.

watch the top gear episode that had the SL65 and i think the MR and the new Impreza...you'll know.

Dude are you just SLOW? The EVO we are speaking about is a customers fully built evo, not a STOCK one!. It's putting down around 500hp to the WHEELS. Even the owner of the mercedes agreed that he would get beaten. He has another benz, the CL600 and the E55 AMG the 463hp one. Anyhow, we ran that cars against the guy's white evo 5 times in the 1/8mile. The benz lost 4/5 times. Only time it won was when the evo missed the gear. You are comparing a factory benz to a factory evo genius.

And look at your own numbers. The evo with its dinky 2.0L engine is competing with europeans cars like lambo, lotus, porsche, AND it did better than mercedes.

I just noticed that the cl65 is also on the list. It makes the same power as the sl65 and its still slower than than factory evo.

3 seconds is a big difference. The asutin martin vanquish was just a little over one sec faster than the 240hp s200.

what numbers?

The times on the list. Those numbers. Look at the cars the little mitsubishi is going up against man. Those have sticker tags of 100 to 300k+. That's impressive for a japanese rally car.

[Harut82]

I was confused becaue you said look at your own numbers when quoting nareks posts. (he didn't post any numbrs)

try explaining that "Mr. German engineering is the best"
