Thank you but that's an average speed over the whole trip (I tend to avoid motorways, too boring for me and no escape in the event of congestion). My right foot was somewhat planted when I felt it safe to do so! Both models excel at high speed cruising, mid range, even higher range acceleration is impressive .. 😎

Just returned from another stay at our favourite hotel in Cornwall, A trip we have done many times in both models. 447 miles return journey. Average speed ~50mph, (a speed which would be similar for both vehicles over each trip) My first RC a 2016 pre-facelift model couldn't manage the return journey on a single tank full. We usually had to refill approx 40-50 miles from home. My second RC a 2019 facelift model does the same journey with ease, showing between 100 to 150 mlles range left when e get home Just did a brim-to-brim fill and recorded 40.8 mpg almost identical to that recorded from bumbling around town. Impressive. The pre-facelift mpg would plummet to the low 30's on the open road. Lexus have obviously tweaked something..

Suggestion was there was insufficient space in the rear load area for the additional amp

Windscreens are very much a structural element of the car. Whereabouts is the crack? Does it radiate from an edge? Across a corner? No stone chips? I had a colleague who owned a Golf that repeatedly cracked it's windscreen if he were to park the car with one wheel on a raised curb or manhole. Turned out one of the bulkhead weld seams was faulty allowing the car to twist, cracking the screen!

The snow mode button basically softens the throttle response, it can't find grip where there is none. The best option is to fit winter tyres with the snowflake and mountain symbol. I don't believe All Season tyres (e.g. CrossClimate) are available for the RC.

I think a lot of Mercedes straight line speed come from it's trick rear suspension that, once above a critical speed, drops the rear ride height so much by going 'over-centre, it stalls the airflow over the rear diffuser reducing drag dramatically. Only really possible because of MB's low rake design. Less drag is far more useful in gaining speed in the straights than increased bhp and it doesn't stress the power unit. Hopefully the MB engineers can tweak the transverse rear damper to match each of the remaining circuits.
