Turbocharger or gear whine We would like to believe that the former.
Toyota announced at the end of last yea that it would be participating in this year’s 24 Hours of Nurburgring Endurance Race using a Lexus LX. No biggie. It’s not too much fuzz.
The same announcement contained a gold nugget – the LC racing car will be powered with a new twin-turbo V8, and this will eventually trickle down into future Lexus production cars. With a goal to complete the race without difficulty, the switch to turbo will address the car’s “several incontinence hours spent in the pit to solve issues.”
Then, this video is from Youtube nenkatsu It was a great experience
A prototype LC 500 was seen at a Japanese track. It showed its strength in multiple test runs. We can ignore the hood vents, and the massive rear wing, and just consider this video to be a test run of an LC racecar that is gearing up for next year’s races. Although it is camouflaged well, it is difficult to ignore the modifications made to this LC’s body.
If you listen closely, however, you will hear the car whine, especially when it is accelerating. The audio quality is terrible so it’s difficult to tell where the whine originated. You can embed the video at the top of this webpage.
Based on the footage, there are two possible presumptions. The sequential gearbox could be the cause of the loud whine. This is normal, and it could also be expected. However, we should consider that the new LC 500 prototype could have the twin-turbo V8 Toyota previously announced.
It doesn’t matter what, it will be a great year for Toyota and Lexus. The brand hopes to win the 24 Hours of Nurburgring Endurance Race.
