As usual with MANHART Performance, the number 800 stands for the power output of the optimised estate and is even lower: the three-litre S58 biturbo in-line six-cylinder engine generates 855 HP and 1,090 Nm! To make these enormous gains possible, MANHART carried out various hardware upgrades in addition to ECU remapping. For example, the cylinders are fitted with forged pistons and connecting rods.

Road Test Review – 2023 Lexus LC 500 – Luxury & V8 Power Get Minor Updates For New …The 2023 Lexus LC 500 has always been in a very peculiar place in the two-door GT segment.
