Break-in periods are manufacturer guidelines and for the most part are implemented to maintain engine reliablity through the test of time and miles..... I personally believe that the engines in fancy cars like the Lexus models don't require a strict breakin schedule. With my TT for example, I drove it like I would normally drive it (avoiding the red line by a couple 1000 RPM's) Hitting like 4500 but driving it at variable engine and road speeds...
