Lexus and the V8 Roar: Two Mysterious Beasts Rock Goodwood Like Never Before!
Thought Lexus was just a boring hybrid brand? Think again! At the legendary Goodwood Festival of Speed, Lexus dropped not one, but TWO camouflaged prototypes roaring with mighty V8 engines that shook the entire estate. Yes, you read that right — V8!
Two Faces of the Same Beast
First up is the racing GT3 GR model, sporting a massive rear wing and serious track ambitions, first spotted back in 2021. Its twin? A street-legal sibling, possibly called the LFR. While the race car screams louder, the road version promises a sonic spectacle for every speed junkie’s ears.
V8 Under the Hood — Is This Real Life?
The sound these cars make leaves no doubt — a powerful V8 engine lurks beneath the hood. This is a game-changer for Lexus, known mostly for hybrids until now. Will the road model have some hybrid tech? Given Lexus’s history, it’s possible, but one thing’s clear — Lexus is gunning for the top spot in the sporty GT segment.
Tested on Legendary Tracks
Spy shots caught these beasts during brutal testing on iconic circuits like Fuji, Spa-Francorchamps, and the legendary Nürburgring. Lexus isn’t messing around — it’s aiming straight at heavyweights like the Mercedes-AMG GTA and the new Aston Martin Vantage.
Why Should You Care?
Lexus has been the luxury hybrid brand, but now it’s stepping into the arena of real sports cars with V8 power. This could shake up the GT sports car segment big time. Can Lexus take on the established giants? The battle for supremacy is about to get wild and unpredictable.
The Bottom Line
If you thought Lexus was boring, think again! With these new V8 models, Lexus is throwing down the gauntlet to everyone at Goodwood and beyond. Get ready for a show, because these two mysterious cars are just the beginning of something huge.
So, what do you think? Can Lexus outgun Mercedes and Aston Martin? Or is this just another shot in the dark? Drop a comment, stir the pot, and remember — the roar of a V8 isn’t for the faint-hearted!
