Regular Car Reviews may have just found the greatest car ever made: the 2010 Lexus LF-A. At the very least, it's one of the rarest cars to ever be featured on RCR. But is this all hyperbole or is it really the best car we've ever driven? Why is this car so rare? Why did it last for such a brief period of time? And how does the Lexus LF-A compare to other cars of its type? We'll take the 2010 Lexus LFA for a test drive, talk about its history, and take a deep dive into the ultimate Lexus.

Too many car guys would maybe just gloss over that, but he highlights it because that something that is far more pertinent to his experience of the car. Fantastic work, and so happy for you that you could experience Toyota nirvana.

[@Nafeels]

Honestly I would probably cry if I get to sit in one, let alone drive it. This is one of the best sounding cars of all time, and knowing how much effort went into engineering it such as Yamaha’s piano department tuning the intake plenum like how they tune their pianos help place this car among the legends. Also, I feel like even the styling for this car instantly makes it a future classic. Just like the Furai this is so distinctly Japanese that it could scream “OHAIYO GOZAIMASU” when someone slams the horn and I wouldn’t even bat an eye.

[@rolux4853]

It’s so funny how you jdm people hype this car up to something it’s not.. it’s stuck between mechanical and electronical. It got the worst of both worlds. This car would be amazing if it was build even 10 years earlier or at least somewhat decent if it was built 5 years later. The engine in this car is amazing, but the rest around it is a bunch of compromises that does not feel good.

[@Nafeels]

@@rolux4853 You got one part right. This car was developed a decade earlier and originally had aluminium panels. However, mid-development Toyota really said “fuck it” and rebuilt it with mostly carbon fibre. Just me and my fellow weebs talking about how brilliantly engineered this car was don’t do it justice. Seriously, read the full book about this car’s development.

[@rolux4853]

@@Nafeels I work as a development engineer for a German car manufacturer, I know a bit the LFA and pretty much every other sportscar that was ever produced. But I am interested in reading the book since I enjoy a lot of books about specific car developments. The LFA engine would’ve been so nice in a 90s car with a manual 6 speed gearbox and pure mechanical double wishbone suspension or it would be also good in a more modern environment with something like the ZF 8speed or a specific dual clutch 7 speed together with modern adaptive suspension. Both these speculations would’ve made for an absolutely amazing cars, but they messed it up by using the worst technology. I’ve driven quite a few cars, also race cars on track and the LFA is a cruiser, but not a real sportscar. Which isn’t bad, it’s just not what people hype it up to! It’s a comfortable Grand Tourer, with an engine that’s not really fitting in that type of car, because tourers should have lots of torque and low end grunt.

[@stirfryjedi]

I heard one of these on a side street in Washington, D.C, as I sat on a park bench nearby near infrequent, normal Saturday morning neighborhood driving. The driver was not showboating, and it still completely caught me off guard. The sound hype is real...

[@officialfinndevlin]

You can really see the design influence the LFA had over later Lexus models that is still being carried on, very cool cars and one of the best sounding ever. The concept of there being channels for the engine sound to come into the cabin by Yamaha engineers is simple compared to speakers that pump the sound in but a much better solution.

[@guitarbass95]

The Focus ST "Sound Symposer" was a similar concept, using a diaphragm on the intake and piping that sound into the cabin, with an electric shutoff to stop it from droning when you're putting around. People rip it out on the regular but its hilarious the similar concept is praised on the LFA.

[@bobhill3941]

That also makes the LFA sound more authentic.

[@guitarbass95]

@@Mr.Marbles I honestly like the symposer. I don't enjoy being generally loud all the time and cutout exhausts are illegal in some places. Having the symposer to give an audible note on when to shift when I'm on the backroads is wonderful. It's not a fake sound from speakers, its a real sound, just acoustically piped. Honestly good solution.

[@charlesbakston7414]

​@@ghomerhustThe LFA had nothing to do with the Supra. And the Supra being built from the LFA would've been expensive for Toyota. And literally would've made the pricetag high(the is one of the main reasons why Toyota and BMW collaborated on the Supra....and previous Supras of before were literally just based on platforms that already existed. Not made from scratch like that). And for the record the MK4 A80 Supra, the fourth generation, literally was crap in sales. And wasn't all much of a performer either (the MK4 RZ Turbocharged variant while stock had its hands full against base model and stock C4 Corvettes of the 1990s). Plus the MK4 A80 Supra was clearly criticized after it's release....it was said to be a "value brand front engine Ferrari" and not having the pop-up-headlights like the MK3 Supra which that is the third generation

[@electrikoptik]

1LR-GUE V10: The creation of the V10 was lead by Lexus' chief engine designer Okamoto Takamitsu. The engine starts life at Toyota's Myochi plant. It is at this plant that the engine block is made from molted aluminium. The block is then sent to Toyota's Honsha factory. The same factory that used to be Toyota's F1 engine facility. The block will get milled, drilled and polished and emerges as a precise engine block. In a sealed room Takumi’s hone every sharp edge using precision polishing tools. After this a highly skilled Takumi pre-assembles the finished engine blocks to check if they fit precisely. Disassembled they travel as unit to Yamaha’s Iwata city plant. It is at this plant that 4 highly skilled Yamaha Takumi’s fully assemble V10. A process that takes 2,5 days for one engine. Before the engine gets put into an LFA, it undergoes a half day of exhaustive testing.

@@carlosandleon I'm gonna respectfully disagree. I think the T.33 looks absolutely timeless, as opposed to so many modern over-designed cars with too many lines and sharp edges. It's also lightweight, manual, and has an N/A V12 that revs to over 11k. Its focus is on pure driving joy, as opposed to being the latest 0-60-in-2-seconds hypercar.

Life is intoxicating, I enjoy my life now and wish I could do more of the things that make me enjoy my life again but it’s hard. Thank god the semester is almost over. But I’ll surely be taking summer classes if I (most likely) don’t get accepted to any internships. I’ll do my best to separate the pursuit of money from the pursuit of happiness. I already have the car that makes me enjoy driving as much an an LFA, so that helps a lot :)

This is my absolute dream car, so I'm both incredibly jealous that Mr. Regular got to drive this, but also so excited to see this review. One day I hope to experience an LFA irl for myself

[@Nebuloid1]

3 minutes in and it's a legendary review already.

[@rhubarbpie2027]

Yamaha, making music with instruments and engines. ❤

[@kristoferfc6525]

I'm so happy you got this on here lmao your reviews are the best

[@ultrablue2]

“…It a novelty, what passes for innovation these days.” This sentence brilliantly sums up the whole of the modern automobile industry today.

[@1MrBryn]

JFC. You hit the jackpot with this one. We'll never ever hear a better sounding engine.

[@austinhadfield]

Other car youtubers LFA intros: “the Lexus LFAs V10, as audibly tuned by Yamaha, etc etc” RCR: “IM A GAYSHA” This is the hard hitting notes I subscribe for

[@geekytechycool]

I've waited for you to get your hands on this...god DAMN IT!! This is a glorious experience 🙂

[@mp4f1]

Exquisite work gentlemen! You are true artists. THANK YOU ❤

That weird seat belt buckle is because of the inflatable airbag belt. In a crash, the belt itself will deploy an airbag from within to aid in safety. Ford has been using these for 2nd row passengers in higher trim Explorers and F150s for a few years now

I remember seeing a red one of these for the first time while I was deployed in Canada with the USMC. I WANT ONE SO BADLY

[@rotrmotr]

One of the strangest, funniest, best car reviews I have seen in KZbin. Thank you!

[@matthew9363]

superb review!

[@Jupiterider1]

Fantastic review RCR! I also love the fact that it’s obvious whoever owns this LFA drives and uses it regularly. LFAs should be regularly exercised and shared with the world! 👍🏼

[@bobhill3941]

That goes for all cool cars, let them run and do what they were meant to do- especially the special ones😃👍

[@artbk]

And listens to Blink 182 in it

[@doctorunicorn5550]

what are you talking about. it has 9912 miles on the clock (9:07). i put more miles on a corolla after ten months of owning it. it's "used regularly" in the sense that it isn't kept in storage as an investment but it isn't *used* regularly.

[@KitFireburn]

This video is as much a masterpiece as the car reviewed. Cheers Mr. Regular 👏

[@nemesisc4926]

You guys came a long way. Congrats.

[@teddieteddie7535]

I remember feeling enamored when this vehicle came out over a decade ago. Then I didn't think about the LFA for years until I saw this video. Thank you very much for doing a review on such a splendid vehicle that I would like to drive someday. I'm also enjoying the KZbin comments.

[@keithprice6581]

I always kind of thought the MX-5 filled a similar role of being fun for the sake of fun. I suppose they accounted their way into the interior buttons and whatnot, but still ... designed to be fun to drive and that's about it.

[@jayboiee7054]

That geisha bit got me rolling😂😂😂😂 I’d say spot on LFS owner😝

[@batmayn]

Hey! I know that street at @2:31 thats my neck of the woods. RCR fan since you had your Echo, now you're driving an LFA! What a story arch!

[@DrowZySlayZ]

Beautifully spoken as always! 10/10 as usual!
