Automotive Review

Weight loss makes it possible acceleration 4.8 - liter V10 that much greater . Derived from an old Toyota Formula One racing engines , power plants 552 - horsepower it screams to 9,000 rpm redline - and we do mean " scream . " Nevertheless sky - high rev limit , though , LFA 354 pounds - feet of torque is available relatively early , avoid the sort of natural ( somewhat ) the flagging show pale machine . The result is a car that offers acceleration really brutal .

LFA has the ability handling to match the best in the world , too . V10 is front- mounted but sits behind the front axle , basically achieve midengine layout and weight distribution close - the same . Lexus LFA Nurburgring Nordschleife is set in the famous German , and the result is a car that changes direction more quickly and with more calmness than all but lacking a few . Carbon brakes - standard ceramic epic in their ability to bring the fun to stop .

In true Japanese form , cabin LFA has a high-tech , futuristic vibe to it . The decoration , digital gauges are the epitome of 21st century cool , while the use of intelligent electronic interface Lexus LFA means untainted by some sort of compromise ( and borderline awful ) control of other exotic sports cars . In true Lexus tradition , the cabin is also beautifully built , although to a greater extent that speaks to its hand-built construction . Fortunately , very few pieces have been stolen from the usual Lexus parts bin .
