Lexus roars into supercar territory

Shut your eyes and think of a Lexus. What do you see? And what do you hear? My guess is something smooth, glossy, trimmed in sumptuous leather and wood, making almost no noise and oozing luxury. It might even be a hybrid, adding a social conscience to the sybaritism.

I have just been driving a Lexus, but it is not quite the same deal. In fact it shrieks like a Formula One car.

If the recently-launched Lexus IS-F stretched the brand beyond any expected elastic limit with its thunderous V8, nailed-to-the-road ride and competition-car detailing, then the car you see here surely snaps the rubber band.

This car is the Lexus LFA, it costs a scarcely-believable £340,000 (NZ$780,700), and I can't imagine many buyers of an LS600h (the current ultimate in cosseting Lexus limos) instantly craving an LFA for their garage. In fact, if they drove one on a track I can almost guarantee a coronary after the first bend.

Clean your Engine With the Mercedes Air Filter « – The Mexicana ...

The engine of any vehicle has a lot of enemies. Primary of these are dust and dirty road particles that any vehicle can get as it treks through the road. Mercedes cars are not spared from these enemies. The role of the Mercedes air filter is to defend the Mercedes engine from harmful components. It works the same way as our nose and nostrils – it allows the vehicle to breathe easily.

Composed of paper and foam like the usual air filter, the Mercedes air filter makes sure the engine is always clean and the car is always in top performance. Air filters like Mercedes air filters usually come in three types: paper, cotton or foam. Paper air filters are the most often used since these are less expensive and are disposable. However, performance enthusiasts often choose foam air filters as such have higher retention levels much like cotton gauze, thus allowing better air intake. Foam air filters are most often used in racing circuits. Nevertheless, cotton is still considered as the best material for filtration, as cotton air filters can be cleansed and re-oiled. However, cotton air filters are not suited to varying environments and are not preferred in dusty areas, deserts and places with very high temperature. Essential for the maximum function of the Mercedes air filter is a good supply of air coming into the engine. This air is mixed with fuel and sparks from the spark plug. The air that we breathe contains many dirty particles and substances that could cause as much damage to us as to the internal components of our engines. It is the Mercedes air filter’s role to put out these unwanted components and maintain the cleanliness of the engine.
