2000 Lexus 200
VVTi enables Lexus engines to be more powerful
and more efficient
than ever
before. Engine "breathing" is optimised with VVTi because
an intelligent
computer control system adjusts the timing of the
intake
camshaft to improve throttle response, low-end power and
emissions.
Intelligent computer control allows for continuous
adjustment
of cam timing to suit a wide range of operating
conditions.
In contrast to existing variable valve timing systems, VVTi
does not
simply switch between two compromise settings. Instead it
adjusts
continuously, using a computer controlled piston sliding over
helical-cut
gears to change the relationship between the cam-drive
pulley
and the intake camshaft. This shifting of the piston position
provides
up to 60 degrees of advanced intake cam timing in the
straight
six cylinder engine. VVTi: optimal performance, greater fuel
efficiency,
smooth seamless power delivery and improved exhaust
emission
control.
ABS and Traction Control
All the
proven roadholding advantages of anti-lock brakes (ABS) and
Traction
Control are standard equipment on all three versions of the
IS200.
As any motoring commentator will tell you, ABS systems are
not all
the same, they can very considerably. The full 4-channel,
4-sensor
ABS system on the IS200 is one of the most effective
available.
Working in conjunction with the large disc brakes, it can
bring the
car safely to a halt in an astonishingly short distance, in all
manner of road conditions. Pulling away on a
slippery surface or accelerating out of a
corner, the traction control comes into its
own. Using electronic sensors, it keeps the
engine power in check to help ensure that
you don't exceed the available grip.
