Jeremy Clarkson reviews the Toyota Soarer UZZ32 Active in Old Top Gear - Lexus SC400 Coupe
This is a video review of the rare active suspension Toyota Soarer - also known as the Lexus Sports Coupe (SC). It's from a segment on cars that are not imported in the UK from the old Top Gear, don't know the year yet, I will update when I find that out.
Jeremy is quite impressed with the handling of the computer controlled hydro pneumatic suspension (A-SUS) and 4WS system (A-4WS) that gives the car great agility and confort. He also goes through some of the cool gadgets this car had.
Remember the UZZ32 has been launched in 1991 and only 873 were ever made so it's quite a rare bird.

Octav Chelaru XSW (R33) vs Diego Quaranta (E46) Drift Battle Top16 - CNDR 2013 Rd. 1 Iasi Romania
zhlédnutí 783Před 11 lety
This is my Top16 battle with Diego Quaranta, the King of Europe 2011 champion. Unfortunately I don't have a video of our first battle with me following so if anyone has that on film, please send it over. It was a great battle, I managed to get a one more time after the two rounds (4-6,6-4) but unfortunately I then pushed too hard, over the limits of the car, and I spun. I managed to get an adva...

zhlédnutí 192Před 11 lety
This is my Top16 battle with Razvan Fratianu (LKN) from the seventh and final round of our national championship in 2012. I was driving Alex Ciuli's Skyline (thanks mate). I had a 3 car disadvantage on the straight line while following so I did my best to reduce the gap on the track while drifting which proved very difficult. I wish the cars were closer in straight line acceleration so that I c...

Here are my qualification runs from the 7th round of the romanian national drift championship. As you can see I'm not using my car (again) so I'd like to thank my dear team mate Alex Ciuli for lending me his beloved Skyline and his main sponsors Smoke Design and Dinamic 92 for making this possible. I forgot to upload this video a while ago so here it is now. I'll add more details later as time ...

I visited the guys at Excess Tuning for the Excess Racing Day event and among other contests there was an Auto-X competition for which they provided a stock BMW E36 325i Coupe. Put me in a RWD and I will probably not resist puting it sideways, screw the clock, I went for the entertainment and left with a smile on my face and a happy crowd. You know how it is with motorsport and excuses but this...
Toyota Soarer V8 UZZ32 Presentation Active Suspension 4WS Exhaust Interior Features
zhlédnutí 67KPřed 11 lety
This is a quick video of my Toyota Soarer UZZ32, number 453 out of 873 ever built (pretty rare machine). Please keep in mind this car was made in 1991, the features on it were simply amazing for that year. This model is also known as the Lexus SC400 in the US however it doesn't feature most of the goodies the JDM only Soarer had. Funny enough the body was designed in California and it was the f...

As you can see I'm not using my car so I'd like to thank Iulian Gherasim for lending me his baby and his main sponsor Szakal Metal the importer of ENEOS oils in Romania. Now, my driving was really poor and there are no excuses for that, a good drifter should adapt quickly to a different car...

This is a pretty old clip I found around the hard drive, just dumb people doing dumb things :) After a days ride (yes, the engine was hot not cold) I figured I'd do a quick burn-out in the garage where I keep the bike. Then I figured I'd do another one and get it on film hehe. It's always the small things that give you the most pleasure. The bike is one of my all-time favorites, a V4 powered Ho...

Here are all the training laps from Iasi 2012 that I have on film, in chronological order more or less. After seeing these myself I'm quite happy that there's not a huge difference between my first, last and all the other laps except for what the tires dictate and any experimenting with line/angle/speed/initiation I wanted to do. That, to me, means I have the consistency needed for the next lev...

This is my Top16 battle with Sorin Ene (HAI) from the third round of our national championship. At first I was a bit bummed when I found out I'll be running against him as he's one of the oldest drifters and has tons of experience and great skill. I knew he'd be really though to beat and I really wanted to advance as this was most likely the last competition I'd be participating in this year. T...

My qualification runs from Suceava, round 3 of our national drift championship. I was driving a friends RHD Skyline GTS-T (Thanks Ciuli !). Despite the weight and the stock power (250 hp) these things can really shift if driven hard they're are a pleasure to drift. I took it easy all week-end in practice as it was not my car, it was freshly painted and it was explained to me in a friendly manne...

Here are all the tandem practice laps that I have on film, I am missing a few that are much more spectacular than these (with Mouse for ex.) but hopefully someone else filmed them. These aren't exactly battle laps as we coudn't start in paralel and stick close and there was generally a big gap between the cars at initiation. It was great fun though. In the last battle with Jumy I had smaller an...
My Drift Qualification Run 1 Camera 2 CNDR Rd. 2 Iasi 2012
zhlédnutí 163Před 12 lety
Unfortunately it's the only qualification run I have from this angle, but (again, unfortunately) it's my best one, it was the "safe" lap after which I pushed too hard and messed up the 2nd and 3rd runs. I will never again run qualifications on untested tires, that's for sure. 2/3 clipping points okay and I slightly touched the last one.

amazing, i didnt know they had a v8 jdm soarer , wow way ahead of its time
I am an ex 92 US version SC400 owner. At that I was very impessive for Japan market only full touch screen controller!! I was so envy of this option. Now 2024, this is still a tremendous early 90 technology !!
1:01 he’s not kidding, they’re really like that
Why does it have Lexus badges and a Soarer badge?
This is prime example of the government having many years further advanced technology then we the general public get in current times. I mean cmon this is amazing for 1991 yet we didn't get it for about 20 more years as normal tech in modern cars.
It's 2023 and I'm still amazed at the technology for something that came out in 1991
El hermano mayor del Supra 😀
You know it's really cool though. Back in 1956 there was a production car that came with a backup camera but a lot of them got destroyed and half of them came to collectors instead
I have the opportunity to own one for 17k, some guy got one imported
The wing zero of jdm cars
Back when Jeremy kept going “schnoppp”
Song name please? legendary!
Wtf does he have bro lexus badge with soarer badge, and all japanese features
Thanks...I have a UZ31 with broken screen - this is the only way I have been able to see how one works!
It's installed. A car that old doesn't have satnav
I love tv from around this time, ahh good old days
I KNEW A NANNY WAS LEFT ON I COULD FEEL IT!!! How the eff do I turn off the stability management??
In 1991 when the Soarer launched, £75k would be equivalent to £171,500 in 2022 accounting for inflation!
What madman would actually buy this for £75k in 1991 money anyway? You could buy a bloody great house for that, or alternatively a Porsche 928 GTS.
Just bought my 91 soarer yesterday! so stoked to finally have my dream car with an r154 and 1j. I had no idea they had all this is the limit thought it just got the 1uz. That's so sick dude. hopefully i can find the parts to put all that on my car
Do ya still have it
@@mrzoqoshorts Yep, just saving some money up to make it a 1.5jz
Hold on... - Big touchscreen - Active suspension - Rear view camera - 4W steering .....in 1991!?!??!
I think the rear view came in 92
exactly wow 😁
Had one of the 4ws models in NZ .. and a t/turbo , and a normal gt v8 .. drove them for 15yrs , 1st one (4ws) cost me in 95 about $35k nz ... after them got a 430 coupe ... now got a 2008 GS 460 .. uptuned to the ls HP (extra $1k ) ... gs 460 is rare .. keep one if you own one ... beleive it or not .... only 1600 GS 460s were made for the world ... so very rare lexus ... L imited EX port USa = L EX US ... SO soarors in non usa countrys ..
This was the first production car to have a reverse camera and factory installed GPS, so it's safe to say that this was ahead of it's time. Nowadays, these types of futures are basically on every car and eventually became required in 2018 (reverse cameras at least). It's hard to think that this was basically unheard of 10 years ago, even in the early 2010's this seemed to be pretty uncommon.
@Doug DeMuro
Dude the Uzz32 is sick as hell, really the grandpa of the LC500 which is the most beautiful looking and sounding vehicle ever. I wish to own one some day but I guess I got too settle for the two sc400’s (Uzz30’s) I have instead 💪🏿☑️
I owned a drove a UZZ32 active suspension Soarer and loved it!
Pretty well made, just a VERY UGLY body to me, but take that as an opinion
This was space age stuff in the day....
This was the time when even mobile phones didn't have any colour screen to my knowledge and here Toyota had a fun blown touch screen along with the rear camera. Holly Shit that's CRAZY 😮😮
The predecessor of the LC500.
当然、日本語表記だから読めないだろw
Gotta love Toyota Navi. I’ve got a 2010 Lexus with the same screen. ..At least it’s in English now🙄😂
Lexus Soarer
This bastard jermey clarkson is reviewing touch screen as it was not a thing at all...in 1991...thats like.. insane. Wow!
This is upscale Toyota Supra (Shared Chassis)
This existed before the Supra. The Supra was made because people wanted a soarer but made into a hatchback, so they made the Supra.
Touch Screen!!! 🤯
Love the Lexus SC! I just uploaded a video of my SC430 I bought last week if you wish to see it? czcams.com/video/k9f79IWyLmg/video.html
Lexus SC400 plates... what for?
Got a uzz32 a couple of weeks back abit rough around the edges ( clear coat peel , worn driver sea , shifter and the EMV on the left side doesn't always play ball) But other then that a1 Mechanical condition. Can't wait to get it back to its former glory and for only $5.5K aud
lol here in germany they go for at least 18.000€ (thats over $28K aud). i wish the depreciation everyone is talking about would arrive in germany too
@@bikewolf7455 Helped that I bought it Just before covid so it didn't get affect by covid prices and it has needed some work to get it on the road still needs a paint job
I've owned an SC 400. And now I must own this.
The bro got one of these just a basic 1uz model had a w58 swap and faaark me she was mean got it for $1800 NZD and she sent it for years till he thought a ditch was a road
0:54 It is nice ruler tachometer out there.
Lmao I just picked up a 93 sc400 for 3 grand and it’s in GREAT condition, runs like a fuckin dream.
90s Touchscreen This was Amazing back then and way ahead for such an sophisticated 90s Japanese know how made car in late 90s to 2000s
هذه مثل سيارتي في سوريا ♥️♥️♥️
I jerk off in the backseat of my car while sniffing the leather
backup camera in 1991!! all this power, luxury and RELIABILITY!! lexus (toyota) is the best car in the all world.
And people dare say that all Toyota does is copy...I show them this UZZ31 to silence them.
uzz32 it's only toyota Lexus SC400 hasn't UZZ32 version
No cupholder in the slot next to the screen of EMV
watching clarkson actually like technology hahaha too funny
