According to Lexus.jp, they have a standard version, the S version & the U version.

if so i guess the touring package is very promising!

Amazing vids. I guess they included the Fuga b/c that is Nissan's top model. Sad, they don't even compete in this class anymore...

bottom left of the video showed the entry speeds of the cars
they only showed it briefly when the camera is outside the car

Nissan's entry speed: 110.8 km/h stopping distance: 65.5m
S550's entry speed: 111.5 km/h stopping distance: 60.5m
740i's entry speed: 111.4 km/h stopping distance: 67.0m
A8's entry speed: 110.6 km/h stopping distance: 65.0m
LS460's entry speed: 108.9 km/h stopping distance: 53.5 m

not a huge difference of entry speed but that difference might have shaved off a metre or so...
of course im not doubting the braking and stability performance of LS460
i know lexus designed this car to be super safe

The reason why the 1st vid seems wierd is because they didn't show the entire vid. The cars ran those laps anywhere from 37 seconds to 45 seconds but the clip was no where near that long
