Yeah, Matt said it weighed just over 4000lbs. So it's lighter than the 650i and S Class coupe. More power than both if I'm not mistaken.
I have to say. The engine sounded great, and although I expected the 245 speed gearbox to perform worse than the ZF gearboxes we know, it looked like the tranny was on par with ZF 8 spd. |

Yeah I'd take this over a DB11. They've out-AstonMartined Aston Martin in terms of looks and sound while maintaining superior reliability, fit and finish. Sure it weighs a lot but so does everything else it's competing against in this segment.
A worthy replacement for people with 6er coupes considering that BMW is retiring the existing range in favor of a 6 badged GT and a more upmarket 8 series. |

It's a luxury coupe, so doesn't need to be super light. Saw it at the LA auto show and listened to its high-end ML audio. I would buy this car for its looks and audio no question.
Added bonus is that it's a Lexus so it's bound to be ultra comfortable and reliable as well. Great stuff. Seems to drive pretty well too, what has the world come to! |
