I forgot to mention, the testing was conducted at 28°C – you could expect slightly quicker results in cooler conditions.

The new collector's car: Natural V8s.

Thanks for reviewing this. I've always said this V8 and the M156 NA V8 in the C63 AMG are the most glorious sounding V8s ever.

The way this pauses between upshifts and the barks on downshifts is just incredible.

I don't care if this did 0 to 100kmh in 4 hours, the sound!

14.2L /100km and a 0-100km/h time of 5.8 seconds... This is why this car is the last of it's kind. Looks incredible, sounds incredible. Performance is from the dinosaur era. Forced induction supersedes N/A and now EV performance supersedes forced induction combustion cars.. This powertrain is from 2 light years ago.

What a lovely car. Welcome in my garage any day. A future classic for sure.

N/A V8, reliable, splendid build quality, genuine exhaust sound. That's one thing the Germans, or any brand for that matter, can achieve with a new vehicle.

[alexkid]

it combines performance, reliability, great sound and beauty

[jollyjohn]

Nice review. 0 to 100 is close to 6 seconds, that's nice, not super sport, but super cool as the whole package with the sound and shape and all. In love with this under appreciated baby. ❤

this car design is already 7 years old, but car looks like it'll be launched by next week. Unbelievably good looking piece of art.

[anthonysgro]

Awesome car.
Looks like loads of fun
Cheers Brett
Great review 👍👍👍👍

[Aldo-Music-Channel]

The sound of that V8 is music to my ears.🎵
Sweet car, awesome review 👍

[pointlessspam]

Nice one mate! Whereabouts in the NSW was this shot? Would like to take my Lexus GS F through those twisties 🙂

Is recording that growl -> scream and playing it back in another car constitute a copyright infringement? The soundtrack should replace the soundtrack on a Ioniq 5 N.

[nessuno]

Didn't mention this had the Enhancement pack with carbon roof and 4WS?

[klausnielsen]

I have the 500h! Just as fast (but no sports car)!

[planbparadise]

Is this Australia? (Or New Zealand?) Where in Australia?

[steveallen]

I’d love them to put this engine in the Supra with an H pattern manual, even if it is a bit slower than the turbo 6.

[samartz]

Beautiful but wish it was a lot cheaper being a lexus

[simmadotyeni]

😅Camera pixels can't keep up - upgrade it

[kurts]

Is this actually $120k better than a ford mustang GT?
