Absolutely sick steering wheel and dash gauges!!!

Wow, that thing sounds beautiful! And a 9k redline!?!? Whaaaaa?

The cockpit is pretty humorous after looking at the FT-86's for a bit now. Its so computerized, with screens and options, and programs. Perfect for the middle-aged man with too much dough in his pocket to spend on.

:confused0068::bow::bow::bow:

Toyota is back in the sports car game.... c'mon FT86!!!

Here's official specs of the LF-A just released:

• Redline: 9,000 RPM
• Titanium valves, connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons, dry sump lubrication and a titanium exhaust manifold
• Six-speed sequential gearbox
• Torsen limited slip differential
• 3,263 pounds with a 48/52 front-to-rear weight distribution
• Power-to-weight ratio of 5.8 pounds/hp
• 65 percent of the body is carbon fiber
• 20-inch BBS wheels wrapped in 265/35 ZR20 Bridgestone tires in front and 305/30 ZR20 in the rear.
• 0-62 MPH (100 km/h) in 3.7 seconds

Well I've got my check book ready.

















I wish.

looks like $375k is officially the set price... check out the link too, it has an official video clip running around fuji speedway, sounds fantastic!

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/21/l...fa-tokyo-2009/

this thing sounds amazing!

Hm... I was reading different website article on this LFA and most ppl's feed back was so negative. Most of the reasons were 1)It's too damn expensive 2)It's Lexus 3)Don't have enough Power.

I thought, it has nice spec and right price for first Japanese excotic car.

Sounds awesome. Is that motor toyota sourced?

Yep! 1LR-GUE revs to 9K

Looks amazing, Does anyone else see some resemblance to the Supra (with a body kit) on the front and side profile?

this thing is booty-ful!

Yamaha Creates Acoustic Design for Engine of the Lexus LFA Super Sports Car
 

Freaking cool! Love how Toyota took great effort with every single aspect of the LF-A.

http://www.global.yamaha.com/news/2009/20091021.html

That's some s3x for your ears right there.

woah!!!! sounds like a bike on start up!!!!! the LFA just gets better and better!!!!! shame i cant afford one :( but IMHO is much better than what Ferrari and Lambo are providing at the mo!

that was the one of the most beautiful sounds i've ever heard in a long time

gonna write on this thread again


I'm in Love!!!!!! lol

My lame cell phone video of the Lexus LFA at Cars and Coffee Irvine
 

Yes, the commentary sounds dumb, I know. And I have a mushroom on my head. That engine note is bomb, tho.

The only thing I dislike about that car is that the hood never looks fully closed...

wow, id like to see an lfa upclose some day

lol i remember not liking that either when i saw it in person! but that's where the air intake feeds off of. it actually reminded me a lot of the 98-00 model year lexus sc400 after seeing it in person.

same, when I first saw the images on the net of the LFA, Soarer came to mind.

that car has a pure sex side profile.

Gorgeous.

lol

naw man i had a huge rasta hat on so i think i would have noticed myself if i was in those pics.

Car Porn at its finest. Just had to clean myself up. Thanks for the video. :burnrubber:

good news we can all own one! Toyota has decided that they will these this car before you can buy it! That is if you can afford the $375,000 lease payment for the first two years! HAHAHAHA



:burnrubber:

Lexus LF-A on Top Gear
 

Here is the Top Gear review of the Lexus LF-A. Richard Hammond did the review, I thought it was pretty good. The lap was incredible, but I hope they will do the lap again considering the circumstance.
