Default Lexus LS400 Vs. Land Cruiser: 260 Km/h Chase Video
Equalivant to about 163 MPH. I'm guessing that's an LS430, somebody correct me if I'm wrong. But its definately an LS Series. The video isn't really high quality or filmed properly, but still surprising nevertheless!

Edit: Thanks for pointing that out guys, I wasn't entirely sure.

Not an LS430. Most likely the last gen 400

Thanks for the info, Rob.

Biker, the video was crap...I'm assuming its 260...the guy needs a lesson on how to focus and hold a video camera steady.

I'm not too sure about this one, but at 260km/h wouldn't the LS engine almost be at redline?

I think that speedo is screwed up. It didn't look like a 150 mph or so and last I checked, the LandCruiser can't go that fast.

Highly possible... The Land Cruiser would need at least 700HP IMHO or so to be doing 260 km/h...a stock LC is highly capable of acheiving 220 km/h though...it takes a bit of time, but it gets up there. Unsure at what point this "race" started, but I think the LS just followed up as its accelerates much faster than the LC.
