Default Lexus LFA

Has anyone actual seen this car in person?

The sound is amazing but the performance lags behind most super cars. Truthfully, i don't think i would mind the performance lag if the car sounded this awesome.

I know this is a 928 Page, but i was just surprised on how this car sounded and looked.

Stab a Viper engine in your 928 and you'll forget about the LFA.

I saw one in Burbank in Janurary. It is very sterile. If this helps, Parie Hilton has one.

Yeah, I saw the first one in the US, which went to a guy in Atlanta. It looks long, and sounds awesome.

I think I've only seen one, maybe two? It's about equally ugly in person compared to on TV.

Really stupid car. More expensive, less attractive, lower performance, as compared to the other supercars. It's the only "supercar" I can think of that's uglier than a GT-R. And they made such a huge deal about building it out of aluminum and then having such high standards that aluminum wasn't light enough and the re-engineered it out of carbon...and yet it STILL comes out over 3400 pounds? How is it that Porsche can build a steel GT2 RS that's, what, 400 pounds lighter, while still costing half as much?

Oh and V10s are still retarded.

and don't forget, the gt2-rs isn't full carbon, it's still mostly aluminum with a steel chassis.

what i think is histerical about the lfa, it took 10yrs to engineer, and it still sucks

i love my viper v10's, just a great sound, cgt sounds the at low rpm.

While the performance is not the greatest , this car still wins me over everyday. The sound files I have found on youtube is outstanding. Yeah the price is crazy and I will never own one.

I have only seen one in a Auto show and like it more in person. White and Red are my fav colours. Love the interior.
I cant wait to hear one, wish someone brings it to a DE
