The LFA is one of the most anticipated super cars of 2010. It's Lexus's first foray into the high end market and they are aiming to make a serious splash. Over a decade of planning has gone into the development of the LFA, and Toyota has built nearly everything in-house. The end result is quite the marvel: the V10 pushes 552 horses and 354 ft-lbs of torque and it sports an astounding 0% steel it it's chemistry. Rather than using conventional metals, Toyota focused on using carbon fiber and aluminum, ending up with a 65/35% split between the space age materials. This helps give the LFA a 3,262 pound curb weight.Yamaha helped tune the exhaust, which resembles that of an F1. The suspension is firm and balanced, but not quite as point-and-shoot as a Lotus Elise.
This front-engined Lexus sprints to 60mph in 3.7 seconds and can accelerate all the way up to 202mph. Pretty quick, but not as zippy as GT-R, and miles behind a ZR1 Vette's top speed, both of which cost less than 1/3 of the LFA. So is the 9,500 RPM redline really worth the $375,000 price tag? Auto Blog has got a hands on review that is, as usual, extensive and thorough. Well worth the read, check it out at AutoBlog.com.
