■ The Lexus LC 500 is Japan’s hi-tech answer to the European GT brigade. With styling plucked straight from a video game, its meticulously engineered driving modes can tackle the UK’s most vicious pothole assault courses.
■ We’re not complaining about being given the 5.0-litre V8 version to test, but the greater ingenuity arguably lies with the 3.5-litre V6 hybrid model. It has Lexus’s Multi Stage Hybrid system, which runs on pure electric power all the way up to 88mph.
