AUTOBAHN DRIVE
The German Autobahn has no speed limit but you should not race on it! Obey the rules and respect other drivers. Driven by an experienced Driver

[@AhuraMazdaTurkey]

it is an e-cvt. never cvt. Do not mix. very different. not the gearbox. no clutch. There is no damper. There is no torque converter. indefectible. No error. seamlessly. It can travel millions of kilometers.

[@Hamsterz380]

For those who don’t know about ECVT and confused about the top speed , it’s actually a physical limit, since it’s a E CVT, it doesn’t have a traditional gear box, it utilizes 2 electric motors and a planetary gear box to mimic a 6 speed transmission, but the RPM of the motor has a limit, so the top speed is limited at 190 km

[@Markus-dx9oy]

Ich fahre den ES 300h und kann nur das Beste schreiben. Er ist besser als jeder Deutscher,vor allem sehr,sehr Sparsam wenn man ihn mit Köpfchen bewegt und die Technik Sinnvoll nutzt. Im Alltag schaffe ich glatte 4 Liter,Landstraße 3,4 Liter, Autobahn 4,8-5,2 Liter. Das Sahnestück ist der super geschmeidige Fahrkomfort und die Ruhe im Inneren. In dieser Klasse gibt es nichts besseres.

Love to see a car similar to mine actually being able to stretch its legs. where I live 150km/h is as fast as you can go because of the poor road condition(on the expressway). 100 km/h is the most comfortable speed to cruise in then again that is the speed limit.

[@MissManable]

Ich finde es gut, dass du auch mal diese Lücke der innovativen Antriebe zeigst. Ich weiß, dass jeder seinem 1.9er TDI hinterherweint, aber außerhalb Europas wird Diesel nahezu ausschließlich für Güterverkehr genutzt. Genauso ist eine Geschwindigkeit größer 150kmh für 99,88% der Fahrer irrelevant. Ich kann es echt nicht mehr hören. Schreibe ja auch nicht unter jeden Porsche, dass mir das Auto zu viel verbraucht und der Preis zu hoch ist...

[@fizzymimi4803]

While I've enjoyed having this car for the past two months, the Sonic Titanium color, while stylish, doesn't quite capture the essence of a highway cruiser. It feels more at home in the city. In that regard, I would say that a BMW 520i might be a more suitable choice for someone who prioritizes highway cruising.

[@Jack-pd4ps]

Hybrids aren’t designed to go that fast. It’s like speeding in a B52 and expecting B1 performance

[@Double.J]

It’s really nice you can go really fast on the Autobahn, but you’ll definitely pay for it in gas, more than double the gas for this hybrid. I wish we had high-speed areas here in the United States. There’s a lot of Midwest states that are really flat and straight highways, and you can only go 70 to 80 mph, so it seems like it can take forever to get through these stretches.

They are not crappy at all and its likely because Lexus probably sells this car in Europe only with hybrid powertrain.

I have a feeling that you didnt quite comprehend how this car is supposed to drive, all you did is bully the car to get “speed”. I didnt learn anything about how this car drives, because nobody drives this car like a maniac in a video game. Makes this video pointless in my opinion, very hard to watch

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

I have a feeling that you didn't read the video title before watching the video that contains the title 'Topspeed.' After watching the video, you wrote a pointless comment. It's normal for everyday traffic on the German autobahn to drive mostly over 160 km/h, with some even reaching speeds over 200 km/h. We test every car's top speed and create other videos with city POV footage, as well as fuel consumption resets, to show viewers how much fuel the car consumes in city driving or at high speeds on the autobahn.

[@ironbolt2678]

@@TESTDRIVEFREAK I stand corrected. Although I still agree that this video is pain to watch (mostly because of a car unfit to drive this way, even though driving most other cars like this would be a disgrace). Still didnt learn anything other than the car becomes extremely noisy at top speed. I watched some other of your videos not torturing cars and driving like a maniac, they are much better.

[@ekimandersom4478]

Actually this is how many people drive in Germany
