前陣子在板上看到不少關於老車的分享,又被saitou68201、Pellaeon兩位前輩的文筆及文章所傳遞的精神震懾。
適從一位長輩手中接下這台車也接近兩年,遂乘此勢,幫這部曾經的輝煌、凌志的開山之作,發一篇文章分享板上,也紀念我跟它、還有那個時代的故事。

1983年,日本經濟如日中天,豐田英二對內宣布執行一項計畫,名F1,意即Flagship編號一。
力誓打造集團第一輛旗艦車,鎖定正是北美市場。
1989年一月在北美車展上,Lexus的第一個作品LS400面世。
歷時六年、花費超過十億美元、動用24個工程團隊上千名工程師、450部原型車。
而其中最震懾人心的,就是當時一部短短31秒廣告--引擎蓋疊上五層香檳塔,初代LS400(UCF10)在馬力機上催到145mph(將近240kph),整座五層、15支酒杯沒動。

1991年,在北美,擊敗Mercedes-Benz W140,成為Full-size sedan豪華房車銷售龍頭。繼平價車corolla後,豐田在歷史上再一次締造傳奇。

---總覽與外觀---

我手上這部車,是第二代小改款後的LS400,1997年10月出廠,98年式,第一批由和泰引進台灣的車。
由於是LS400最後一次改動,年式從98到2000,也被稱作千禧版本。
http://i.imgur.com/i5yxkMu.jpg
修長的車頭裡搭載1UZ-FE V8引擎,4.0升排氣量;愛信A650E五速變速箱。
最大馬力294hp,峰值扭力42.9公斤米。
這部整備重量2噸的全尺寸轎車,在出廠21年後,還能保有實測:零百加速6.5秒、400公尺加速14.6秒、並能在半分鐘多由靜止達到電子限速。
擺到現在看還非常沉穩的車頭。(請忽略有點霧化的大燈)

另一側,LEXUS的銘牌。有一說是凌志當時目標是開拓北美市場,遂在品牌名稱裡,加了個US。
http://i.imgur.com/JwLPt5w.jpg
底盤部分,LS400配備了四輪雙A臂,強調足夠的胎面貼地性、支撐力與舒適。
我在原廠避震器稍微衰退時,更換了倍適登黃桶與上座,以及日本RSR短彈簧。降低了些許車身同時讓車子榨出更多操控性,算是唯一的改裝。
---內裝與功能---
內裝總覽
http://i.imgur.com/JjlhXOq.jpg
首先從駕駛座開始。木質紋路的中控台(方向盤與排檔桿是實木),在21年後的今天,仍然光可鑑人。
http://i.imgur.com/fRzRcj5.jpg
變速箱有三種模式:PWR、ECO以及snow。
在一般行駛時,使用ECO模式,各檔約莫皆在2000轉以前即換檔,開起來確確實實是一部兩噸大車。加減速溫吞平順,即便跑了32萬多公里,幾乎感受不到換檔過程。
引擎運轉的綿密程度,像極一座古老而精緻的發條音樂盒!
行駛時的靜肅性,對比現今他牌全新的直六同級房車,有過而無不及。
曾有朋友在停紅燈時問我,他從來不知道Lexus這麼早就導入怠速熄火功能。不過確實沒有,它只是靜靜地在怠速。
也確實,當它停下來時,除了音響,最吵的就是冷氣風切聲。
然而,一旦切換到Power模式,八缸引擎輕而易舉地將轉速--連同車速迅速拉升,低沉卻富含力量的咆哮,宣揚著它依然不老的張狂。
雪地模式用電腦限制了後軸輸出,並且以二檔起步避免過高的瞬間輸出使車子打滑。

實木排檔頭與蒙皮握位。

開門時會看到車內與車門有個相連的洞。它是導到前側車窗的冷氣,為了避免車窗起霧,正副駕駛座窗都有。
http://i.imgur.com/MUBOdbp.jpg
並且門把上有兩組電動椅記憶按鈕與安全帶高度調整。
雙前座14向電動椅與座椅內置氣囊。
http://i.imgur.com/5KW4Z6z.jpg
Lexus的巧思,方向機柱下方,也就是駕駛座胯下中間的冷氣孔。男人夏天開車不再彆扭。
http://i.imgur.com/QVTswRA.jpg
基本上冷氣孔會出現在任何乘員需要的地方。雖無像之前家裡LS460,空調還會從頂棚「滲透」下來,但以當年標準,已是許多創舉。
駕駛座底下有一個收納盒,裡面現在放著的是當時交車時的紅綵帶。
http://i.imgur.com/M5gtEXU.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/tYGSd1p.jpg
------
當我們把目光移到中控台:上方是室外溫度、時間,雙區恆溫冷氣面板。空調保有豐田一貫傳統,不會冷免錢XD
下方是Nakamichi 中道音響主機,附ASL自動偵測噪音補償音調與音量。並且還有卡帶機!
http://i.imgur.com/8oDyPac.jpg
卡帶機就是要拿來放這歌--羅大佑<閃亮的日子>。聽著它成長、聽著它離鄉。
http://i.imgur.com/5HHHsJy.jpg
除了卡帶,LS400是當年第一部把多片式CD匣搬上轎車的車。而且一次還給6片!我另外生產年代晚20年的F30 320i,還只能放一片。
http://i.imgur.com/VZeOuTq.jpg
------
這種車,幾乎是給後座享受的。不過當時並無選配後座電動椅與冷氣/音響調整,所以中央扶手空空如也。
http://i.imgur.com/Nmlig2m.jpg
當年日規頂配的後中央扶手
http://i.imgur.com/ppi4zL9.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/PkaJiXS.jpg
駕駛座以我身高176,正常駕駛姿勢調整,後座還能有那麼大的空間。我曾經用這部車的後座與車廂,去ikea載了一張雙人沙發與茶几。
時至出廠21年後的今日,車上電子裝置竟難得,幾乎能正常作動,讓人不禁欽佩當年造車理念跟Lexus品質。
閱讀燈。與開門迎賓燈不同,打光角度避過了頭部,避免在後座乘客面前產生影子。
http://i.imgur.com/2cPE1Bo.jpg
後座點煙座與煙灰缸。
http://i.imgur.com/chaqxM0.jpg
粗壯結實的C柱,與絨毛隔音裝置。關門聲都是享受。
http://i.imgur.com/brySJB5.jpg
這邊先賣個關子,讓板上朋友們猜猜,後檔底下,左右兩片網是什麼用途?
http://i.imgur.com/F1q4o0l.jpg
回到駕駛座,發動車子,投射式儀表板與實用的行車電腦。可以記錄瞬時油耗、加油間距平均油耗、長途平均油耗與預期行駛距離、引擎運轉時間等。
http://i.imgur.com/tnq71Rh.jpg
兩年以來,這部車總體平均油耗大概在8.0km/l。
定速極限是13.5km/l,高速平均10上下(9~12),市區3(新竹rush hour)~7。
對全尺寸八缸轎車來說,油耗成績應該已屬中上,滿意!
方向盤右邊是雨刷與定速控制桿。http://i.imgur.com/Z095wW3.jpg
左邊是燈光與方向盤調整鈕。
http://i.imgur.com/oBjk7nf.jpg
駕駛左膝上方,
http://i.imgur.com/fzOz3WV.jpg
答案揭曉!後檔下面那兩個網孔,是車內建空氣清淨機,並且會自動偵測車室內空氣品質調整強弱。這樣的配備十分少見!
==========
Lexus在品牌創立之初,重新定義了自家高級車的位置與特色。諸如運轉極其平順的動力總成、四處可見的巧思、恰好的按鈕機關阻尼,他們給予的遠多於使用者和競爭對手的想像。
LS400要求的不是給予駕駛強勁的運動性,也不追逐浮誇的外觀與內飾。
相反地,它透過緩緩展開的杯架與手套箱、紮實的真皮內對內縫線、排檔頭方向盤溫潤的實木觸感和厚實的蒙皮,告訴我們,那個時代,Lexus認為高級車應有的樣子。
在這個十倍速時代裡,人們需要的是一個自處的空間,在社會裡的一個角落,隔絕紛擾,與自我對話、與一部足夠優雅的車共處。
歷代LS也一直提醒,並回應著我們的需求。
謝謝觀看。
