2018 Audi R8 LMS Vs 2018 Lexus LC 500

2018 Audi R8 LMS: Derived directly from the road-going R8 Coupé V10, Audi is heralding its new R8 LMS GT4 as “the ideal race car for amateur campaigners”.Its 5.2-litre tenner will put out a formidable 364kW and over 550Nm, which will take it to 100km/h in “under four seconds”. While that may seem comparatively unimpressive next to other race cars, it does fit in well with Audi’s ‘ideal-for-amateurs’ message. 2018 Audi R8 LMS GT4 rearAudi says the power output has not been finalised, “depending on its rating, during the course of the 2017 season before a final homologation level has been achieved and approval for racing is requested”. It says production of the car will be prepared during the second half of 2017. “Consequently, the first customers will be able to receive the new Audi R8 LMS GT4 before the end of the year.” 2018 Audi R8 LMS GT4 profileThe LMS GT4 shares over half of its components with its road-going brother, and will be produced at the same plant at Böllinger Höfe. Audi says this has allowed it to make the GT4 easier to purchase and own, as production costs have not been excessive. Audi Sport managing director Stephan Winkelmann says it will be eligible to compete in over a dozen already established series. “13 racing series in which GT4 models can compete worldwide already exist today,” he says. 2018 Audi R8 LMS GT4 frontHe adds that the GT4 will fill a gap Audi sees between the GT3 and TCR categories, which Audi already manufactures cars for. “Now we’re targeting the GT4 class at exactly the right time. These fast-growing business segments and the DNA shared by our race cars and production vehicles underscore our ambition to become a true global player in the high-performance league.”

2018 Lexus LC 500: The Lexus LC offers a choice no other premium coupe does: the LC 500 with a high-performance V8 or LC 500h with a new-generation Multi Stage Hybrid powertrain. In both, the focus is driving excitement, with the LC 500h offering higher fuel efficiency associated with the world’s luxury hybrid leader. Upon startup, exhaling through the variable Active Exhaust, the 5-liter naturally aspirated V8 issues a clarion call to driving enthusiasts. Based on the engine in the Lexus GS F an RC F high-performance models, the LC 500 version raises the output to 471 hp and 398 lb.-ft. of peak torque. The Lexus LC 500 can sprint from zero to 60 mph in less than 4.5 seconds. It’s a well-proven performance engine, with a low-mass reciprocating assembly using lightweight forged connecting rods, along with titanium intake and exhaust valves to allow a 7,300-rpm redline. The 32-valve cylinder heads, equipped with performance-tuned Variable Valve Timing (VVT-iE), take full advantage of the engine’s low internal friction and aggressive valvetrain specs. The D-4S injection system uses direct fuel injection that allows a high compression ratio (12.3:1), augmented by port fuel injectors to enhance low-speed response. Under acceleration, the LC 500 V8 reveals its character in a continuously rising power curve, with the 471 hp developed at 7,100 rpm and the torque peak sustained from 4,800-5,600 rpm. The fast-revving V8 issues a stunning soundtrack amplified by a special resonance tube connecting the intake to the firewall, plus a standard Active Exhaust that rumbles and roars like a high-performance GT should. The driver can adjust the natural exhaust sound level via the Drive Mode Select system. The V8 is a good citizen, too, switching to the Atkinson cycle to enhance fuel efficiency at cruising speeds and Otto cycle for higher performance levels when accelerating.
