Lexus 1990 LS 400 and 2011 LS 460 Champagne Glass Commercial Update

[Ashwinmadhuz]

I got a Lx 470 '08

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

I owned the original 1990 LS, loved it.

[adamkawwaff]

Makes me love my 460 even more :)

[TheLeeStLouis]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even know why I sold my 96 LS 2 months ago. I'll have to get another one, or just get the 460L. great video!

[1skilz]

I have a 1990 ls 400 right now with 172,000 miles and running like new. Crazy ahead of its time still. Want a big new BMW, just get a used Ls 400 for a better price and perform.

[TheMichaelholmes]

I have a 93 LS400 with 212000 miles, it is still an incredibly smooth car.

[thearaban]

my 1992 ls400 is still going strong. Can't wait until i can afford a newer LS. Love the car

[mohdz1000]

am proud of having LS 1995

[docbybay]

Why aren't the wheels turnning?

[03iamhopeless]

@docbybay neutral bro

[NukedJapaneseToyota]

Japanese cars are now tainted with high levels of nuclear radiation, including Plutonium-238, 239 and 240 which will increase your incidence of cancer, infertility and sperm damage.

[adamY2K]

@NukedJapaneseToyota

HAHAHA OKAY THEN :P! GERMAN CARS HAVE HIGH LEVEL OF HITLER IN THAT CASE!

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

I owned a 1990 LS 400, it was that smooth, you should try the nickle test too, I did, it passed just like the glasses.

[grastmast]

japanese cars it's a best cars

[908LuX973]

u could probably stack those glasses on the engine itself of any brand v8, v10 or v12, they all run smooth as butter. just because lexus put it in a commercial all the retards are like "o wow thats amazing, only lexus can do that they must be magic" im not hating on lexus im actually about to buy an ls400, but come on

[GZOLIKA75]

Profi Japán technika!!!!!!!!!

[wilsonkm]

LS = Legendary badasS

[DerAdventurer]

FIRST: You rarely find a brand new car capable of doing this.

|

SECOND: You certainly will not find any other 21 years old car still capable of doing it.

The combination of the american luxury with the incredible japanese technology gave us perfection.

|

CONCLUSION: ---- LEXUS RULES! ----

[onesikkgs3]

Lexus is true quality

[RB25luv]

only japanese technology.they r # 1.

[dvspot]

True quality!

[voeholla]

i own a 1990 ls400 266,000 miles and its still running like its brand new

[whiteliketar]

i always remember the awe and inspiration i felt when i saw the first Ls 400 . it truly was a game changer. I have an is IS 350 today but I still love the big lexus. I will probably get the ct 200h - gas prices - because of my ultra heavy driving ( over 45,000 mile per year ) But I would love to sit in that ls 460 luxury.

[Silvershadow317]

this is great but what if a kid leaves an open can of soda on the hood of a ferrari, and the owner revs it to show off

[form109]

Honestly Revving the Engine doesn't prove anything.....the original was on a Dyometer....that was what made it so amazing.

[kmn5]

why wasn't it a continues shot, there's a break in the video from when the glasses were stacked and the engine running??? hmmm....

[902120]

How many miles are on the LS400?

[mqatarm1]

this is what could a true Quality !!!!

[airtouch01]

Lets do this to a Mercedes as the same age as the LS400

[klugerah]

Lets go mercades,bmw and audi dealers with champane glasses :D

[SHOCKandAWE01]

My dad had a 97 LS 400. That was almost my first car but he traded it in for the 2005 Tundra I now own...

[sunil7557]

Thats simply SUPERB



[VulgarBoyzz]

This shows the true quality of Lexus. I bet a brand new Cadillac can't do this test! But a 1990 Cadillac?? If you can find one still running, the glasses would shatter before you even place them on the hood! I say Lexus is the best even though I drive an Infiniti I still acknowledge a truly great car.

[cumander]

@VulgarBoyzz my 94 deville did it

[cumander]

@VulgarBoyzz but i would take the 1990 lexus over any caddy any day

[sidewaysrussian]

Original Lexus commercial had the LS doing 140mph on a dyno.

[10whiteleymic]

does it make a difference that the LS460 was a hybrid? and the other guy who posted the video first was a regular v8?

[TheBlessedbabi]

@10whiteleymic This isnt the hybrid. Hybrid is only on the Ls600h.

[Yjakow]

к чему это дебилы вот Т-90 ебнет раз и усе,,,,,,,,,)))))))))))0

[ExtremeVideosArchive]

HOT GIRLS FROM SMOSH VIDEO GRABING HER BOOBS!! /watch?v=kXKrn6C1tdI

[dadvoc666]

I can do that with a pyramid of champagne glass on my bike's fuel tank :D

[stickdiggler]

i can do the same thing on the hood of my Porsche

[Mike07P]

You didn't have your seatbelt on!!!

[y0utuberjosh]

Next challenge: Drive with them on your hood.

[nitinopp]

That V8 in the ls400 was an absolute monster. Sounded like a truck plowing down the street.

Miss mine :'(

[n0c0n]

You could do that with a 1993 Nissan Altima, big fucking deal.

Lexus, cars for people who like fluff. Zzzzzzzz

[n0c0n]

You could do that with a 1993 Nissan Altima, big fucking deal.

[Skyline789]

I'm sorry but revving the engine doesn't prove anything. The car being on the dyno in the original commercial is the selling point!

[nitinopp]

@Skyline789 exactly.

[S3N909]

That proves NOTHING!

[soulresistor]

YOU CAN DO THAT WITH ANY V8 .

[jwatwater]

this is cool and all, don't get me wrong, but I honestly DO NOT care if I can balance champagne glasses on the hood of my car, it's not like I can do it while I'm driving... but still, very cool.

[lostchildren]

Chevy or Ford should do the same but with beer bottles.

[scootosan]

I could get those glasses to fall...just turn up my stereo...oh yah

[mixa0077]

придурки хераманы

[CoolAidGTO]

Epic ownage. Multi million dollar car company responds to youtuber hyjinx = ownage.

[shampysik]

Хуйня все это ребята! 

[ToshGun]

I should try it with my car :)

[MamoDad]

Ok, but the glasses probably fell at slightly higher RPM than what they show - that's why they didn't go to the redline in each car.

And that's why there are two different max rpm used: only 4000 rpm for the 1990 and 5300 for the 2011.

[zi0matrlx]

No, the trick is smooth slow changes in throttle. Any luxury car with a V8 will send those glasses to their broken death if you jam on the throttle like a cocaine addicted chimpanzee. It's the effect of the engine torquing/twisting around the soft engine mounts. Anybody who has flogged a Chevy 350 small block will know what I'm talking about.

[mrblockboii]

wait, whats the point of this? i dont get it

[liamvg]

That's a 1990 with LS 1993 wheels. I can't see the door panels to verify that the car itself isn't a 1993.

[glittman]

Nice move!

[Kingsoupturbo]

It may not be exciting but what it does, it does very very well! 1993 Celsior FTW!

[kidred72]

Why did Lexus use shorter, thicker champaign glasses and not the taller, thinner wine glasses the owner used?

[GermanRussia1]

поездили мы они в моей 2114,вот там даже на холостых они бы не устояли)

[airtouch01]

If you do that with the S-class, the glasses will fall, if you do it with 7series the glasses will fall, Audi A8 and tje glasses will fall.. Lexus LS ' The Relentless Persuit of Perfection'

[kidred72]

@airtouch01 'The Relentless Persuit of Lifeless'

[trn000]

Here is a car! not something that the Russian car industry where constant vibration in the cabin!

[iimprezu]

Great cars, don't get me wrong. But would you guys try starting the engine with the glasses on top? Or how about instead of revving the engine in neutral, you put it in gear and have the drive wheels on rollers? You know, so you can test the smoothness of the transmission shifting gears, etc :)

[airtouch01]

Wow in USA this outsells the S-class! That is amazing accomplishment for Lexus

[nabbunsechkie]

Excellent. We loved our 1994 LS 400 so much that we're now enjoying our 2008 LS 460L.

[oneviwatara]

Amazing Lexus!

[bcatz454]

ahahahaha 15 miles on the 2011 and it will be sold to some unsuspecting owner thinking his car is still virgin from abuse.

5300 rpms in N is abuse because it has no load, 5300 rpms in drive isnt.

[ibeapirate123]

@bcatz454 that logic is absolutely idiotic

[c3vzn]

Do it on a LFA.

[powerbookkid]

There is no doubt in my mind that had the original video, which this is in RESPONSE TO, had access to a dyno, that the new vehicle and the original would be able to recreate the original commercial with no problem. having said that, this is still impressive. ive driven brand new domestic and import vehicles that dont rev as smoothly as any Lexus does. yeah, they did it slowly... the fact is they still did it. Lets see someone do this with a Ford or some other POS. Lexus FTW!

[autodrivex]

How many miles were on the 1990 car? Very cool either way.

[MrRyuzaki91]

truly amazing...

[booklit]

LOL the dude got owned

[elektro3000]

The original ad had the car on a dyno, which adds vibration from the entire driveline. Do you have access to a dyno where you could recreate all the elements of the ad?

[lz3390]

Those are most definitely not Champagne glasses. Champagne glasses are the 'flutes' that are tall and narrow.

[jex9]

I miss my Lexus! Care to try on the IS300? :p

[toyouall]

@jex9 As a matter of fact I have tried using a canadian 1 dollar coin (not round but is apolygon, don't remeber hoe many sides) and placed it upright directly on the engine of my 2002 IS and slowly revved it from idle to redline, and the coin never fell down.............

[Mrakssey]

The glases are empty...

[ArthurAutoworld]

Lexus is the BEST!!!!!!!!! And this is FACT!!!!!!

Greetings from Armenia!

[af1iRockNIKES]

Go big or go home, bring out the Lexus LFA!

[KyleOutrage]

We've learned that:

The car must be pitched to create a horizontal hood.

Special glasses must be used.

The throttle needs to cautiously manipulated to ensure the engine doesn't rock on its mounts.

With enough asterisks you can accomplish anything.

[XxChocoTacoxX]

@KyleOutrage

Actually, what we learned is that the commercial can be replicated with today's iteration of the vehicle. Period. They probably did the exact same thing in the first commercial as they did in this remake of it so there are no asterisks necessary. They did exactly what they set out to do: replicate the old commercial with the new car. Mission complete.

[rivengle]

@KyleOutrage it's slowly accelerated to give it a constant speed and vibration. I wouldn't expect anyone on the road to be constantly revving and re-revving their engine on the highway like their car's on steroids.

[darkstar286]

@KyleOutrage have you not seen the original commercial? That's exactly what they did in that too...

They replicated the commercial. Nothing more, nothing less.

[lexusl650h]

How many miles do each of the cars have?

[moophoto]

You kind of have to run it with a dyno, and champagne... still thanks for the video.

[mstrcrowley]

Im amazed that the valve springs didnt break on the LS 460!!! They ARE great vehicles, I own a LS430,and Im a Lexus technician. Im just saying that Lexus needs to do more to avoid all these recalls. I started with Lexus in '89, and back then, we never even thought about a recall....there was tons of testing done before the vehicle was released. The quality is suffering... I hate to say it, but its true.

[jdc4]

now get the LFA out to shatter them all

[T67GS300]

Im a loyal Lexus owner, I have a 05 GS300 and I come from a family of Lexus owners and I have to say that, thats not impressive, you guys slowly revved it to 5k. Rev it fast and hard and see if it the glasses stay there.

[droppinsumfudge]

those arent champagne glasses...

[abhinavpmishra]

They have to fill the wine glass with some liquid, i guess that is the way the old commercial was done

[reeds101]

A slow run to 5000 rpm doesnt prove anything either, if you floor it and they stayed on then I'd be impressed. My pickup truck wouldnt knock over glasses if I reved it that slowly

[reeds101]

Im not saying its fake, but instead of just saying "no glue", knock it over or take it apart after the video to prove it. The camera faded in and out enough time where you could have easily glued them down.

[what77777]

I'm just impressed with how quiet it is inside.

[xevious2501]

As we have ALL seen dyno runs, where gear change shake the car, AND not to mention video OF the TIRES spinning. all i see here is a car stationary.

HOW ABOUT SHOWING THE FULL SIDE OF THE CAR WITH THE RUNNING WHEELS IN FRAME!!!  FAKE!!

[storage2k]

@xevious2501 Hey idiot...look at 22 seconds. This is a response to the owner who did it wrong without the dyno so they're doing it without the dyno as well. How about you WATCH THE VIDEO?

[jaradonly]

Great!

[incyphe]

The alloy wheels shown in the video were available on 1993+ models. So either it's a 1990 model with 1993 wheels (possible I suppose), or it's a 1993-1994 model. You should clarify this point because 1st gen LS fans would definitely notice this.

[rottisnot]

@incyphe- beat me to it! Good catch! It also seems to have the air suspension from the cluster lights (not that it matters while stationary)- 93/94 wheels, can't see if the odo is digital and ON the cluster and can't see enough of the lower side trim to tell which year M1 LS it is. Oh, and those are some thick heavy looking "champagne glasses"!

[incyphe]

@rottisnot and I thought I was being an LS400 nerd. ;-)

[mattclare]

Good on 'ya Lexus. Way to prove you're paying attention.

[boy638]

this does not really prove anything. even the old lexus did it on a dyno which is more challenging and more shaky.

[bastardeyez]

@boy638

indeed, rolling tires, driveshats etc have a change to cause some more vibrations. (that was the point of whole original lexus commercial, they did prove that even those areas of the car are well balanced)

i mean i can recreate this whole thing with my 1970 Buick GS455 too without the dyno, so it' s nothing special.

[taz6886]

@bastardeyez prove it. with no cut in video! Patiently waiting!

[FitnessAnywhere]

So, would that fall over on other cars?

[ekwlee]

do a comparison on other cars to show the quality of lexus!

[TheBlessedbabi]

He used Wine glasses and these are Champagne glasses. :)

[Surreal5230]

that really is the persuit of perfection!!

[mrjost55]

That's pretty cool that you guys actually answered with a video.

[tha1b1]

you should try to run with those glasses

[Kranbone]

21 years on and it still holds true. Fantastic.
