I used to work at a Lexus dealership as an apprentice it the shop. The owner had ordered one and the guy I was apprenticed to was the only one who was qualified to do the Pre-Delivery Inspection. On a regular vehicle this took a couple hours. On The LFA it took two days. Big wigs from Cali came in to ensure all paperwork was perfect and that the Inspection was completed exactly as detailed in the very long guide. The bottom is nearly completely covered in carbon fiber panels to ensure air passes under with zero buffet spots in the mechanics. 2 piece windshield that costs 15,000, resonant chamber just before the 3 split exhaust tubes, part of the reason for the note of the engine. Yes the amount of engineering that went into this car is insane. Unfortunately I was able to participate in the drive but damn it was quite the two days. And I wish i still had the video of the walk around I did when it was running in the shop. So clean.

@gustavoaureliano15 Жыл бұрын
The LFA is the closest thing you car guys can get to understanding what us motorcycle riders feel when we ride. Granted, Yamaha helped build the v10 so of course they’re going to make the heart of the car an unbelievably sentient motor. It sounds like the first Gen R1s almost the way it falls down in the gears and then picks right back up again

Because every car maker is climbing into the electric bandwagon, I have a bad feeling that probably we won´t hear again any vehicle that makes such an epic noise as the LFA.

I agree with you. He has put out a lot of different content in his time both in print and on film, but I like this film because it’s the heart of the matter an automotive journalism. This is the nucleus of car journalism, it’s about test driving a car and and finding out if you can live with it and if you can fall in love with it.

This engine. THIS NOISE. Is it the fastest? No. Does it have the quickest acceleration? No. But, do you need to go more than 200 mph? Hmm, nope. Do you need to go from 0 to 60 in less than 3.7 seconds? Probably not. Is it overpriced? Absolutely, too much, even if I had the money, I probably wouldn't get one. But... there is something really rather special about it. The bond you make with it, the way it handles, the way it drives. And the soundtrack the engine is producing, that's the best you can get, absolutely no denying that. It's so pure. And it really is something you can't make twice.

Fun fact. When Lexus was designing the engine, (i believe specifically the intake manifold) they took Yamaha onboard to specifically design it in a very deliberate way to make it sound as good as humanly possible. That was the goal from the beginning. And they damn did manage to pull that off. They actually designed the engine like they would engineer a musical instrument.

I always liked these cars, and wondered why they weren't more popular ( I geuss $375k is kinda hard to swallow for a Toyota) Had the opportunity to drive one and fully understand why he likes them so much. Compared to Ferraris and Lamborghinis that I have driven as well, these cars seem so much more refined. Not to mention the price and cost of maintenance associated with the aforementioned. I wish I had the ability to purchase one and would assume the cost should only increase in the future. I in fact just saw the same car on the road in town where I live last week, so the owner has smartly held onto it. It's a black beauty for sure. Great video!
