We’re talking about a car that's not just a feast for the eyes but also an auditory delight, thanks to the Mark Levinson premium audio system that Mr. Marrs can't stop raving about. And let's not forget the heart of this beast – a 5.0-liter V8 engine that doesn't just purr, it roars with 471 horsepower. But is this beauty more than just a show car? We put that to the test and discuss everything from the striking triple beam headlamps to the question on everyone's lips: does the speed-activated rear wing really offer the performance boost it promises or is it just another pretty piece?As Mr. Marrs takes the wheel, we get the skinny on what it's like to command such power and style, and yes, we even tackle the practicalities – or should we say, the lack thereof. Where in the world do you put your iPhone in such a sumptuous leather interior that seems to have overlooked storage solutions? Despite that, we uncover the little joys, like the seamless integration with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Alexa, all available at your fingertips on the 12.3-inch Lexus interface screen. Mr. Marrs doesn't hold back, sharing his take on the mileage after a 343.2-mile ride, and whether or not the EPA's promises hold up in the real world.
