Chris Harris of EVO.co.uk was the first to get a chance to drive this Toyota supercar. Even gets a little sideways!
The Lexus LFA aims to be that supercar at the head of the pack. Lexus builds this car in the details. From the a-pillars which are meticulously threaded in 1 of only 2 circular looms in the world is used to weave dual-tube carbon fiber components, to the dry sump 4.8L V10 fitted with 10 ITBs, and build with forged aluminum postons, and titanium rods. With a redline at only about 9500rpm this monster puts out 553HP, with 354lb of torque. All squeezed combine to make a car that weighs 3,263 pounds with a 48/52 weight distribution, and goes a top speed of 201.94 MPH.
Lexus plans on building only 500 of these, and they will be going for $400,000 and up. With its robust engine, and stylish interior it places the Lexus LFA in the middle of a respectable field of todays supercars.
