Just to confirm what I think I already know it has only one electric motor? Yes the torque pull is nice this car was built for motorway drive very nice. ive been driving mainly in normal mode on motorway and the pull still feels nice with a gradual build up of power when needing to overtake.

Yeah me I think I felt that less energy output on the pedal it made for a not enjoyable drive 😪

Re the new e10 I was forced to put in my car last week (as v power ran out at all shells) I put in new e10 fuel since Monday and been driving up to Thursday 14 miles a day and my fuel gauge barely moved not even one bar gone yet so I’m thinking it lasting a lot longer then old e5 fuel probably what they had in mind Re eco credentials? I will go back to my v power fuel when empty though.

I’m no engineer but I had a thought even though the one electric motor rated at 197bhp but in reality gives extra 35bhp (real world driving conditions) as lag fill etc restriction could be due to the small hybrid battery mah size to increase range and longevity on electric side. Electric motor 105 kW (141 hp; 143 PS) 1 km synchronous (GS 300h) 147 kW (197 hp; 200 PS) 1 km synchronous (GS 450h)

Official Lexus 450h promotion about the car. https://mag.lexus.co.uk/lexus-gs-450h-and-the-need-for-speed/ Perhaps even more impressive than the car’s sub-six second dash to 62mph is the torque delivered during mid-range acceleration. The system’s high-output, water-cooled permanent magnet electric motor produces maximum torque immediately upon demand; a characteristic that is most noticeable, and most useful, during 30-50mph passing manoeuvres.

Many thanks John 😊 Re your forum comment. It was all by design of my mental plan in the beginning lol. One I’m dyslexic so can be a bit slow what I found when I was first here seeing the amount of new topics was very overwhelming I went through a ton of them at first. Then I had an Epiphany why don’t I have all my issues all in one place so years from now when I want to reflect check etc rather then finding multiple threads of myself all over the Lexus owners club I could have all my issues one one Convenient accessable place like I have now so there is a method to my madness that works for me and maybe others to 😊 ive always been a person who hates red tape and over complicating simple things old saying “flow like water take the path of least resistance” which is me all over lol simplicity is always best in my opinion. Many thanks to all the contributors here past present and future 😊

Any links I can see to confirm re LSD?

You maybe able to answer my question I asked ages ago do know if our cars have mecanical limted slip differential or even electronic limted slip diff?

Me and my mate on the right in his Gs300 he keeps asking me for a race if only he knew the bhp difference lol

I see to be honest I’ve never understood why car manafac give you the option to turn Traction off traction control? It’s can be the difference between being in a bush and on the road lol I don’t dare turn it off with my foot lol

I did a little experiment for first time in nine months ownership with the sports button today on a nice long stretch of road. Floored accelerator to floor in normal mode it takes three seconds before vehicle takes off and moves with haste and vigour. I did the same thing in sports mode took two seconds to move with haste and vigour.

I also asked Lexus if they could reset my Lexus link as I could not use due to previous owners still registered to the car after service they told me the mencanic had tried his best and I should be able to use now but I was warned because of the year of my car the functionality of the app is very limited and the newer cars have better integration with the Lexus app. I’ve not tried it yet.

Re your picture instructions I took one look at this procedure months ago and was like no thanks Lexus main dealer! 🤣

😊

Observation Im not used to this on any other vehicle I’ve owned for months I’ve noticed while driving and the aircon completely off warm air in the car (outside air warm too) I ignored it thinking I’m going mad or imagining it. I finally did the wet the finger test and in fact I can feel slight not major air flow though the aircon vents is this normal for Lexus thing?

I’m just processing your every six years spark plug comment I’m very confused as my previous vehicle Audi A4 mk7 2.0 TFSI Quattro (money pit car!). I changed my spark plug on a full service every two years at a Audi main dealer so I assumed my lexus would be the same I pretty much have done the same with my other previous four cars over fifteen years lol changing spark plugs every six years sounds mad lol has anyone else an opinion on this? Not saying chris is wrong just sounds alien to me from what I’m used to but every six years sounds great as saving money! Why is Lexus different from the other manufacturers and how do they get away with it from a technical aspect? Just reading this https://www.raycatenalexus.com/lexus-es-350-maintenance-schedule-larchmont-ny/

O guys I forgot to mention as someone like me that loves to indicate a touch earlier to alert other road users in good time what I’m doing the best thing I got Lexus to do for me was to put it on their computer and change my light touch stalk indicate from three flashes to five. The difference is quite profound and night and day how two extra flashes gives me extreme peace of mind and confidence when changing lanes now vs the three flashes it’s a MUST if your a safety first driver. Even when going on roundabouts now I can use the light touch indicator with confidence now where as when on three flashes it was always nerve racking if the three flashes had expired already. It’s a must do guys.

That’s all sounds rather technical lol and where do the capacitors draw there power from?

Cool thanks.

That would be amazing if true even though most internet articles saying 3-5 years life and with my excessive usage of mark leverson 845watt system I have my doubts how long it will last lol. I use the car Monday to Friday do about 8-10k a year driving.

Finally bought from Ryman’s to keep my car paper work in £7.

O ok in that case I bought the car from a private dealer and the car had little to no previous history previous owner didn’t even give me any paper work for it last service accept for his own personally owned garage in the service book. (I know I took a gamble and risk) and bought it anyway as was a good specifiction and only one on sale at the time in BLACK. I went on autotrader recent they was only five 450h’s left and the one in black 19k 2014 I only wish I had that sort of money.
