Daniel Riccardo commented that when watching vintage F1 with the sound off he was amazed at how slow things looked.

Then when he put the audio on it felt like things were going fast again.

The Lexus has the magic sound even if it isn't the fastest car.

It would make a decent next car for someone with an XK, but the XKR has a lot more push.

Personally I like that the XK's styling is a GT sized Supra, both with very similar lines. One fits me quite nicely.

There is talk of downsizing the capacity and turbo charging that being the case it should give it that much needed added punch
