Of course not, but Lexus should have said that they will match "certain" V12's performance, not just "V12 performance". Lexus' reason for being is Mercedes, has been up until this switch to wanting to go after BMW (with lame results there also), and they've never thought much of Audi. If Lexus can use a V8 and batteries, Mercedes can use turbos. Lexus has no one to blame but themselves for not being able to match the S600, unless now all of a sudden the S600 isn't competition anymore. I seriously doubt that.
