Interesting.

Why put a GM engine when you can put a Toyota engine in to a Toyota car?

Do you only use Intel graphics in your high-spec gaming computer with an Intel CPU? Doubtful.

Do you only put HK accessories on your Heckler & Koch rifle's Picatinny rails? Also doubtful.

Every other hobby I know where performance matters, no one gives two shits about mixing products from different manufacturers, but car people always get butthurt about it. It just boggles my mind.

I am no fan of the LFA but they have already ruined it so they might as well use a superior engine.

Use the best tool for the job.

STV3 · 01-20-2015, 01:21 PM

Yeah this is Yoichi Imamura's D1 car.

Seems like an improvement to the car to me ;-)

Looks great.

from the article:
A rather mysterious yellow Lexus LFA Roadster is being exhibited in Japan at the 2015 Media Ambition Tokyo.

10 pictures and full article

that car is so damn expensive

NWFRS · 02-20-2015, 01:08 PM

Wow.

Those cars look awful in yellow. (Yes, I know BBC TopGear said the exact opposite. I don't care)

The only thing I like about that is you'd be able to hear the exhaust better. :-)

f0rge · 02-20-2015, 05:05 PM

Sweet, I hope they make more of these.

Not the fastest or the cheapest car, but bad ass nonetheless.

This forum especially should value "experience cars" over "numbers cars".

mark0006 · 02-24-2015, 01:03 AM

I like it better in white.

WesleyG · 02-24-2015, 01:39 AM

Nice, I would buy the coupe version over this

stevesnj · 04-16-2015, 11:20 AM

Great video of LFA's dancing around in Japan. These guys can drive! Fun video with perfect music for a Thursday. Would like to see an 86 version of this.
Full screen is best IMHO and yes I searched if this was posted before. :P

Enjoy...

I think you mean one LFA and 4 RC's lol.

Decent video, but too much slow motion and some awful camera angles.
