Lexus LY 650 Shows Off Its Wet-weather Handling
Robb Report Singapore
|December 2019
The new US$3.6 million Lexus LY 650 shows off its wet-weather handling in our exclusive test.
WINDS STEADY AT 35km/hr, gusting to a feisty 45. Frothy seas running at 1.8m to 2.4m high. Forty per cent chance of a downpour. No, not a great day for boating. “I’m game if you are,” deadpans Randy Peterson, propulsion engineer for Marquis Yachts. He’s also captain of the new Lexus LY 650, a 2,700hp flybridge cruiser that we’re here in Boca Raton, Florida, to helm as part of its first big-weather sea trial. Yesterday, the sleek 20m craft made its global debut and today Robb Report is getting an exclusive first crack at driving this boat through the choppy Atlantic.
