Welcome Back: 2010 Lexus LFA

If you were a Richard Hammond, this would look cool driving an LFA

If you were a Tanner Foust, that's TOTALLY COOL STUFF!

So, the Lexus LFA, the 340,000 British Pound Sterling supercar that Richard Hammond thrashed it on the Season 14 finale of Top Gear. This is surely what happened when Lexus decided to change its image after making boring luxury hybrid saloon cars for those who love to play golf (the Lexus IS F doesn't count) and for me, I think this is the best Lexus ever driven in my whole life but sadly, this supercar is limited to 500 units worldwide (165 units available in Japan).

Despite its limited production, this Japanese exotic is all about exclusivity because there are several exterior and interior color combinations that caters the customer's desire or needs. What excites me was its 1LR-GUE engine that can go to about 560PS/8,700r.p.m. and the torque output of 48.9kg-m/6,800rpm. It was fitted with a 6-speed Automated Sequential Gearbox for quicker shifting feel like no other and the gap between them can't be measured. Surprisingly, Toyota Motor Corporation turned to Yamaha for some acoustic tuning to make the Lexus LFA sound more like a Formula One car. If it says THE ROAR OF AN ANGEL, it's an ANGELUS! ANGELUS! That's what it is!

I just realized something...In one episode of Top Gear USA, Tanner Foust decided to find out if he could get round the real Infineon Raceway in a Lexus LFA quicker than Adam Ferrera and Rutledge Wood could take the same virtual car round the same virtual track in Forza Motorsport 4. This is a first time Forza Motorsport 4 made its appearance on Top Gear USA because of their wonderful tie-up between the game and the popular motoring TV show. Hey! If TCS doesn't mean Traction Control System, then what was that? TOTALLY COOL STUFF! Oh, thanks Rut.

The LFA is one of the cars listed on the game's AutoVista feature where you will learn various facts about the LFA or hear Jeremy Clarkson's comments about the LFA.
