The Lexus LFA is a legendary car, arguably the best car that has ever come from a Japanese automaker. This JDM supercar featured a Yamaha developed naturally aspirate V10 that revved to a stratospheric 9000 rpm, while making a sound that makes modern day F1 cars jealous. The development of this car took far longer than originally anticipated, due to the shift to extensive usage of carbon fiber construction. In recent years, the rarity and specialness of the LFA has led to prices climbing very quickly. These days, a "regular" LFA is typically worth well over $700k, and I think they will keep going up in the future. I had the amazing opportunity to drive and review a Lexus LFA, it was an amazing experience. Enjoy this review and make sure you check out the owner on IG!

Incredible. This engine won engine of the year. Beating all the engines from the Italians in Germans. This lexus beat all Ferrari and Porsche models from its era. Lexus needs to do a part 2

There is nothing wrong with the single clutch. It's part of the experience. It gives it a mechanical feel and character.

@MikeForsythe Жыл бұрын

That’s exactly why they did it. They sacrificed some acceleration times with a dual clutch for a more raw feel.

If lexus started making cars like this again, it would fly off the shelf because of the legend of this car.

@sdlausen1 Жыл бұрын

No it wouldn't. Lexus always benchmarks build quality over performance numbers which means... If they made a new one it would be significantly slower than it's rivals. This means keyboard warriors and car reviewers would rip it apart like they did with the LFA when it was released. NOBODY liked this car when it came out. NOBODY but Jeremy Clarkson. Car reviewers like Eddie and peoples comments on the LFA when released - "it's ugly, it's slow, I can buy two Lambos for this, my Ferrari has a dual clutch, an R8 is faster, it's too expensive!" On and on and on. Suddenly, now everyone wants to bust a nut over it.

Go look at the LFA team and engineers. The story. That building that was manufacturing the LFA closed down as soon as the last LFA rolled off. It was really just a project Lexus wanted to do for few years only. And this will and probably be the last Toyota / Lexus and Yamaha collaboration. If you know Yamaha. It’s high revs with a badass sounding engine.

Toyota has partnered with Yamaha on many occassions in the past decades. Celica and Supra come to mind on prior collabs. This may not be the last. They've collabed on many of Toyota's special engines.

Elle doit avoir beaucoup de kilomètres. En Europe, une LFA avec maximum 5000km c’est 900000$ sans compter la configuration spéciale, on est même plus proche de 1 million $ sinon.

"0-60 low 3's and quarter mile 11's. That's not fast. The GT-R with launch control was way faster". No it wasn't. The GT-R vs LFA was neck and neck and the LFA had 4mph faster trap speed. Depending on the reviewer/magazine one was faster than the other or exact times. From a roll the LFA would pull away from the GT-R of 2012. At this time the GT-R was seen as the fastest thing around. LFA was able to match it with RWD. Even today that is not considered slow. The LFA was not a hypercar.
