I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but to me this is big news. This is mentioned on page 212 of the owner's manual.
The previous S had a permanent magnet motor at front, and induction at the rear.
Also I noticed the drive ratios are now 7.558:1 and 9.034:1, compared to 9.325:1 and 9.734:1 in the previous model.
All this might explain the better pull of the refresh LR at higher speed. The drive ratio especially could explain the relatively "slow" 0-60 times, for the benefit of better pull above 60mph.
Comments anyone?
