2012 Lexus LFA Review
2012 Lexus LFA Review - Lexus LFA is an awe-worthy piece of Japanese sports car. Only 500 of these mid-engines cars are to be hand-assembled by accomplished automotive craftsmen in Japan . Lexus claims multiple justifications for the LFA program. The car, it says, casts a halo over the Lexus F line of performance machines. It’s also a way for Toyota to explore new technologies, particularly carbon-fiber construction. And since Lexus says it will be selective about whom it will sell to—car collectors and high-profile individuals who use the car rather than park it—the LFA should raise the cachet of the brand as a whole.
The engine output from the 4.8 liter 10-cylinder power plant is home to 562 total horses. There’s something slightly weird about this scene. We are about to drive the daunting 12.9-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife track in Germany. In a Lexus. Okay, it’s the exotic LFA, a Ferrari-fighting supercar that will cost about $350,000. But the company built its reputation on smooth, refined, and perfectly nerve-calming cars, so why does the LFA exist? In what parallel universe is this thing remotely Lexus-like?
