Question: How do you drive a MILLION POUND Japanese supercar? Answer: At full tilt and for as long as possible!
This week, TheCarGuys get to drive the fabulous Lexus LFA, an intriguing, valuable, bespoke, limited edition supercar that has at its heart a sweet revving V10, and for many, is the ultimate stealth machine that can do over two hundreds miles an hour!
Join us for an in-depth review of this machine, which is currently for sale at the Octane Collection (who else?). We take a deep dive into the history of the LFA - from concept to conception, the exterior design, interior impressions, and an extended roadtest to savour THAT engine and its performance.
This, as they say, is a good one…

Firstly, arigato Mr. Toyoda for being a proper car guy and making cars like the LFA, the GR Yaris, the GT 86 or having kept Le Mans alive during gloomy times for endurance racing... and also for having an open mind and investing in other innovative engine solutions aside from the mainstream and dogma - one can t praise this enough . Secondly, thanks to the Octane Collection for having made this video possible. Great video for a great car, Damien & Jason, am tempted not to thank you coz you got rewarded with the LFA experience but hey, you know what I mean ;).

@bluetitan20 4 ай бұрын

Well done lads...that was in my humble opinion, one of your very best films yet. Loved all of the history of its creation, and the little details of the LFA. Its a stunning car, and today it still sets such high standards, imagine what it was like when they launched it back in 2009/2010. One of the big plusses you didn't mention though, this car will still perform and work without throwing a hissy fit and making the dash look like a Christmas Tree every now and again, unlike a lot of other cars in this category. Cars like the LFA, show that Japan can make spine tingling cars to rival, and often better, those from the big European sports car manufacturers. I believe Yamaha co-developed the engine with Toyota at the time as well. Toyoda-san is one of the biggest saviours for today's petrol head. Without his vision and willingness to push through cars like the GT/GR86, Supra (maybe not the best result), GR Yaris, never mind the WRC and the WEC programmes... Plus, he is willing to seriously look into other forms of powering cars, not just jumping onto the EV bandwagon. The only way you might be able to top this one, is to get the keys to that F50....😉

The LFA looks so choice in gloss black. If you were lining up for a cross country race through a few states or across a continent etc, no matter what you were in, there would be some nervous glances at the guy in the LFA sitting there like a Ronin waiting to savage the pack and brush aside lesser, more fragile, and troublesome brands. Remember, it's a Lexus...it won't go bang.
