| Re: AutoZeitung: A8 4.2 vs XJR vs LS 460 vs S 450 KokkenTor, do you know how they finished? Who was first, second, third and fourth?  I've been looking for this article on Autozeitung for ages. It just "dissapeard" off their website.  Amazing that the "weak" S450 could keep up so well. I'm also thinking that Lexus revised the gear ratios for the European LS to make it slower, but more fuel efficient. Mercedes does the opposite with US-spec Benzes.

| Re: AutoZeitung: A8 4.2 vs XJR vs LS 460 vs S 450 The laptime of the S450 is pretty impressive, it is faster than the considerably lighter and slightly quicker accelerating XJR
