im going to buy one of these and replace the beeping sound with a recording : CHANGE GEAR! >.< LOL thats the Famous IFA of fast five that Han was drving :p sounds sexy...
@nitrotrigger Furthermore, did you think that it's possible the driver wasn't driving at his usual lick because the car clearly sticks when changing gear and corners recalcitrantly?
Yes, i think he has a bad driving line, looks like he dont know where the track goes and what gear to use in the corners... maybe he is a good driver but not at this car on the nurburgring
@icefox1983 did u see the last turn? so, before you gettin into it, turn to the left, enter the Nordschleife, then drive about 10 km and then u will see the Karussel
Seems a pretty trivial ride until you start to notice the spare seat belts every time the driver breaks. He may be going much faster than it seems. I hereby urge Lexus to offer me a test ride so I can see for myself.
This car is a engineering marvel. Time for others to rip it apart and copy the technology. Mind you the dual clutch mechanism of the Nissan GTR is blatantly copied by everyone and even advertised ! Yikes.
An engine note to die for, an exhaust note to pop wood over, and excellent chassis dynamics to make a grown man cry. Too bad its stuck in that body. I think Lexus really went the distance nailing that V10 to perfection, then skimped out on the body completely. Oh well, in any case its an engineering marvel.
why do those jealous nissan bitches come on here to complain. Comparing the Lfa to a crappy datsun is like comparing a bottle of Dom Perignon to some cheap grocery store Baby Duck champagne.
Sorry to but-in here people, but if you can buy a 2011 Nissan GTR, in Japan, for less than 45 Thousand pounds, why on earth would you even consider that thing.
@jlgroovetek I think they designed the LFA that way to have a 'manual' feel to the upshift so as to encompass that feel of traditional shifting and not to have it 'feeling' too computerized...
@304teddy american cars are pieces of shit..japanese cars are way better i always see little honda beating ur "american muscle" 5.0 shitstangs...i would love to see the zr1 overrated piece of shit go up against the HKS supra or the top secret supra..it would jus be too funny well anyways fuck USDM!!!!!
@evrtekniques okay you know nothing about cars do you. let me guess your a 19yr who loves his honda with a fart can on the back of it that makes it should like your a bad ass. im only 17 yr and i bet i have drove a hell of a lot better cars then you ever have and some of them were american muscle that can do a fucking wheelie. you must know nothing about cars cause those honda pieces of shit have no torque. so get your facts straight. o ya i would like to see any stock honda take on a new 5.0
Ahahaha...can't realize we talk about Corvette in the Supercar range. It's just a pimped out Cavalier! Anyway Toyota aren't great too...i had 4 of them. Except for engine and transmission everything breaks all the time, even with a smooth ride and good care.
The Lfa is awesome even if i don't have Toyota in my heart.
This car is a supercar....its not competing with the GTR/ Vette, its competing with Murciealgo, Enzo, Carrera GT. Amazing car to behold, i had the luck of seeing one recently. Check my channel for the vid.
my firs baby momma godmomma homegirl from Mendoda got wun of deez. She on wefare wit 6 kid so she gotz da stashon wagon. It sittin on 22's right now but nest munt ona firs she gonna put 24's out back ta raze up da rear in like tha whiteboy do bak in da 60's. Any suchesguns on whut ess et need mush appreshated. Ahh ight
for a v10 engine it sound like shit why would any one spend 370k for a Lexus when I can take that same 375K and buy a Euro sports car, ok so the car is fast but it is ugly as hell nothing screams go buy me, it's like this why show up with a out house pet when I can bring a Penthouse pet to the party.
@who919 Because if you have 375k and you have to sit and think about where to spend that money that means you dont have enough to start off with ... you may as well buy a 3 series BMW ....
Does anyone understand that this car has only 430 hp at the wheels? Thats WEAK its even worse than the bhp of a gt3 rs (450 bhp) for 1/4 of the price (would never have thought i would say a porsche was 1/4 the price of a lexus) and im a porsche fan btw. Yet somehow, i seem to love this car
Can I ask all of you assclowns a question? Why are you too fucking stupid to noticed this isn't the old Nordschleife where the GTR and ZR1 ran at? It's clearly the new F1 used Nurburgring and while all you dumbshits are asking what time the LFA ran and talking about 7:30 lap times, you have a COMMON SENSE FAIL realizing this video is at the new ring and is only 2:24 long.

@JSVETTEZ06 WHy in the hell would you put a regular manual in these cars? These cars are way too fast to be dicking with gearboxes.

@frambesbuckeye all that is understandable man.. i just love to shift gears n feel the car ol school baby... just something about coming off the clutch that i love ... and being half automatic half manual kinda takes the fun outta of it...
@kjtamu yamaha didn't build the motor it was blue printed from toyota and than suzuki made the parts toyota assembled the motor and than sent to yamaha to re-tone the voice of the car to make it sound ultra hyper car.
@Tmoua nope the v 10 was designed and built by Yamaha like the old sho motors then it was sent down the hall to have the exhaust note tuned imo this is the second best sounding car in the world behind the Porsche carrera gt
@dankebuddha No the tuning arm of Toyota would be TRD all I'm saying is Yamaha are are a subsidary of Toyota.They have been involved with many cars in Toyota's past with the 2000 GT Supra and Celica to name a few they specialise in head design and the valve train when it comes to car development.
@turbominivan60 Nah it's the way of building a real super sport car. No half ass-ing like with the corvette. It's easy to take a car, dump a engine in it and have it doing the quarter in 11 seconds... VERY EASY. The LF-A is so much more then an engine and a body. All materials are the highest quality and with the 500 limit, it's way more original than the mass-produced covette. Face it, Lexus tried it's luck to see if they could and they did. Their next gen will be less costly.
@holyjesuswashere the corvette engine is hand built by teams of 2 fat guys in Kentucky, hardly half assed and the car itself isnt a slouch on technology either, corevette was the first car ive heard of having a h.u.d. and it's also faster then the gtr around the nurb, just incase you didnt kno a gtr isnt any shit car either...
@racingisfun The corvette ZR1... At just over 105k new, I would kind of hope that it was built by hand XD. The first car that had a h.u.d was an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 1988. Anyway, check the interior of the GTR and the interior of the vette... And also, it has 153 hp and 174 more torque... kinda normal it's faster hehe.
@J0sh92 the thing is theres way more tech into a gtr where as a vette is just light and brutish... both of em beat up on cars three times the price though...
@J0sh92 .3 second faster? urrrr... get your facts on papers first. New times the vette at 7:22s vs gtr at 7:26 not to say that either are way faster than the other just saying that with technology of a gtr vs brute leaf springs is pretty impressive. On the other hand when vette begins to make a vette with out leafs it'll totally be in a new ball game. I would assume atleast 10seconds faster with out leaf springs.
@Tmoua Actually if you have a look at wikipedia the fastest time for the ZR-1 is 7.26 they have not been back to the Ring since they did the 7.26 and its quoted all over wikipedia that that 7.22 time is a hoax.
@Tmoua do some research the zr 1 doesn't have leaf springs it uses the magnetic fluid suspension that Chevy pioneered a few years back in the z 06 it's the same suspension used in Porsche Ferrari Lambo and so on they all took it from Chevy
@304teddy What did Clarkson say about the ZR1 since u follow it, on the 3rd day of testing, it started falling apart and on the 4th it didnt want to start. So much for your love and heart americans put into their products. Look, the ZR1 is fast no doubt, but its not a quality built car, it simply a juiced up corvette that costs $100+k. What they did with the LFA has been almost 10 years in the making, thats heart and love for engineering, the zr1 was put together in 2 weeks? Impressive
@fukwaynecampaign2 LMAO-listen jr watching top gear for factual knowledge is like fucking for virginity. top gear is scripted fiction for entertainment and nothing more. i cant believe you people are that stupid.
@holyjesuswashere Half assing??? Youre a dummy. Its not about how pretty you can make the car look with your sneaky reverse engineering like in an LFA. Lexus/Toyota hasnt proved anything on any major racetracks yet. The Corvette has won major races on major racetracks. Im not a Corvette fan. But, you cant deny youre not getting your moneys worth in a Corvette, when looking for a racecar. Face that.
@EvaVonHaus No ones denying it ... the corvette is a overpriced American muscle thats built with plastic parts ... the vette doesnt even have a solid read bumper .... The LFA has a 4.8lt v10 the size of a V8 and weight of a V6 ..... chevy had to go with a 7.1 lt supercharged to power the zr1 ... can you say no engineering ? your funny when you say toyota has not proven anything in any race tracks yet but they sure are taking over NASCAR and F1 Racing
@groundhabit A STOCK ZR-1 WILL EAT THIS THING UP. Toyota quit F1 you moron. Nascar??? Toyota not only sucks at NASCAR, but they get caught cheating when they do try to prove something. You have to get your shit story straight. Most of you look like bozos on pogo sticks. Bottom line is that all you assclowns leave cheap message that dont amount to anything. Even though the Toyota LFA is built with "alien" material, it will never touch the Corvettes record. Can you say "NO CHAMPIONSHIPS"?
@groundhabit One last thing. Im not American, but, overpriced American plastic muscle is alot better than underpriced sweatshop plastic. And, dont even deny it.
@groundhabit "the corvette is a overpriced American muscle thats built with plastic parts" funny how its made of carbon fiber like the LFA but somehow when its put on the vette it becomes some sort of cheap plastic. the vette has a 6.2 liter not 7.1 dumbass and it makes 100more hp than this ricer. "taking over nascar?"-LMAO!!! didnt they also quit F1 because they couldnt win!!!
@holyjesuswashere "No half ass-ing like with the corvette. It's easy to take a car, dump a engine in it and have it doing the quarter in 11 seconds" actually the ZR-1 does 10 second quarter miles. if its so easy why cant toyota match it?
@304teddy You're not understanding the point... If toyota wanted to... they could of dumped some twin turbos on that v10 and have it flying down the speedway... But it's different, different philosophies. Americans like it big, strong and fast. Europeans and Japs like putting a little more heart into it. Making a car more intelligent so that it's not that old rugged car that does go fast but is missing a heart.
@holyjesuswashere "You're not understanding the point"-no YOURE not understanding the point. toyota developed this car for 10 years-had yamaha help them build a decent engine and still got pissed on by the vette and the viper. toyota should stick to building those lame appliances the sheeple love. "heart"- you obviously dont race or such an ignorant comment would never have left your mouth. a ZR1/ACR not only have more heart but they also require more heart-you tea sippers neednt apply.
@304teddy you dont get the point, you're all about stupid stats that dont matter, the ZR1 is basically a regular z06 with a supercharger and minor tweeks here and there? the ZR1 is still made from plastic and still has leaf springs, a car that is 100k+ i expect way better quality then some halfass 2 week job, yet you claim they have more heart? where? American car brands are all about quantity and money, never about quality. You dont understand cars at its source, it doesnt matter if u race them
@fukwaynecampaign2 the ZR1 is carbon fiber-only a moron would attempt to belittle the use of carbon fiber. the ZR1 also doesnt have leaf springs. the system used on the ZR1 develops more grip and a better ride than any of its competition-how is that a bad thing? if the car rides better and handles better than others who cares what its made of?
@304teddy the zr1 is NOT made of carbon fiber, some of its body has carbon fiber, majority is made of fiberglass, I care what the car is made of. Lets be realistic, neither of us has the money to buy the ZR1, and if we did, wouldnt you want your car to be quality made, seems like you wouldnt, they should use you as a lab rat to see how durable the car is once crashed. You're still a typical American, loving and basking in quantity, never quality. Chevy is complete garbage compared to others
@304teddy look, I understand that you favor an American brand over anything, its predictable and obvious, that does not mean you understand cars. You arent the 1st one to lash out with a dumbass comment nor will you be the last, ignorance is bliss to you Americans huh? Like teddy said, this is a stock NA v10 made especially do to a certain job, to race, now they couldve fitter a biturbo engine and went 250MPH, but for what? this car is about precision, something american brands always lacked
@fukwaynecampaign2 just so long as you morons are only seeing our tailights. feel free to enjoy your high revving, high tech, over priced turds while you suck up our exhaust fumes.
@xtrajently When the LFA took on the nurburgring there was traffic on it, when the ZR1 took on it, it was totally empty allowing for a similar time, to you it might not mean much sitting behind the comp, but in reality thats at least 10 secs off the rec taken off.
@fukwaynecampaign2 the ZR1 went 7:26 around the nurburgring while the LFA only went 7:38. you know nothing of the ZR1 as its body has alot more carbon fiber than any other material. i love how you buthurt idiots get spanked and scream about quality-its all you have left. the ZR1 will spank anything even close to its class from europe and japan and it will be reliable doing it. as for crash testing the US has the strictest crash tests which the ZR1 passes.
@304teddy HAHAHA PRICELESS!!! Of course the army is great and all but it seems that the us is also dominant in owing money... Over 2 trillion dollars (and that's only China).
@304teddy You dominate in cars? HAHAHAHA that's even worse. Audi, BMW, Merc and Porsche beat you in everything except your little lap time. Besides Cadillac and the corvette, your cars are shitty. Go check on jd powers if you don't believe me. Chevrolet is 11th in overall quality and cadillac, 10th.
@holyjesuswashere Mercedes had quite a lot of technical issues trough the last few years, especially with electronics in the e-class. Japanese cars are well made, new toyotas and mazdas are more reliable than any other cars nowdays
@StoneCoolds in autoweeks 2010 test bmw was below average. that list actually suprised me, the top five were: porsche, acura, merc, lexus and ford followed by honda and hyundai
i'd like a new mustang or a camaro, but as far as i know they break down too much. love american muscle cars, but not for everyday. ways better choice is a Lexus,bmw,merc for example
@fukwaynecampaign2 It really wasn't nice of you..Something tells me that it is you the one who acquires all his racing experience from behind the comp..I prefer to spend more time riding rather then fish the internet for those wonderfull facts that you so kindly shared with me..
@DannyBoySmith1993 actually it's not. there's only a limited production of 500 models and there's been 10 years of research and development gone into this car. I wouldn't be surprised at the price.
@babyz3us Then just to maintain the lambo in its lifetime * thats if you don't wrap it around a tree or blow the engine * will get you close to the price range .All i can say is that when Toyota build a engine and car its a great piece of machine . Take for example the car lambos and most exotics fear when boosted to 20psi or higher , the Toyota supra . the car is well over 12 years old and you can push 700hp on stock internals and bottom end . toyota has proven worthy for reliability for years
@groundhabit toyota didnt build the engine-they couldnt build a performance engine to save their ass. yamaha had to build the LFA engine. toyota sucks-they should stick with building appliances that the sheeple will buy.
lol, the car video was very nice, but the comments are even better, well I have owned both Toyotas and Mazdas and for me they both have been great. Still have a 90 Mazda B2200 pick-up with 290,000 miles on it, it wont die.
gmax876 Toyota has never won Le Mans! The only Japanese manufacture to win the 24 hrs. of Le Mans was Mazda with a 787B (4 rotor) GTP car in 1991. Toyota sadly also fail at winning a Formula 1 race from 2002 to 2009...
@miguelmazda3 Gotta give Toyota credit though for the GT one, was one quick car. Sad that they didn't try to continue with it like Audi did with the R8 lmp...
All this rambling about what cars beat what... what people are failing to realize is that for the cost of a GTR, a stock C6 can be modified to keep with it- and as for the LFA, well, such cars arent about the numbers- $150k will build you a racecar from hell... but the LFA is for one thing: to simply say, "I have one of these... and guess what?! you dont..."
Toyota won lemans with a GT1 car, toyota has competed in Formula 1. Nissan and Chevy can't say that... This car is like the Japanese Buggati, its a symbol or milestone of engineering, its really not meant to be attainable by car guys arguing on youtube.

@kjtamu yamaha didn't build the motor it was blue printed from toyota and than suzuki made the parts toyota assembled the motor and than sent to yamaha to re-tone the voice of the car to make it sound ultra hyper car.

@Tmoua nope the v 10 was designed and built by Yamaha like the old sho motors then it was sent down the hall to have the exhaust note tuned imo this is the second best sounding car in the world behind the Porsche carrera gt

@dankebuddha Wrong it was actually designed by Toyota in conjunction with Yamaha which TMC has a stake in Yamaha's ownership.

@dankebuddha No the tuning arm of Toyota would be TRD all I'm saying is Yamaha are are a subsidary of Toyota.They have been involved with many cars in Toyota's past with the 2000 GT Supra and Celica to name a few they specialise in head design and the valve train when it comes to car development.

@turbominivan60 You talking about the corvette? This car is made out of carbon fiber.
holyjesuswashere 1 year ago
@holyjesuswashere For $400k its a big shit stain, I'm sure MANY will agree. If it is carbon fiber....What a waste
turbominivan60 1 year ago
@turbominivan60 Nah it's the way of building a real super sport car. No half ass-ing like with the corvette. It's easy to take a car, dump a engine in it and have it doing the quarter in 11 seconds... VERY EASY. The LF-A is so much more then an engine and a body. All materials are the highest quality and with the 500 limit, it's way more original than the mass-produced covette. Face it, Lexus tried it's luck to see if they could and they did. Their next gen will be less costly.

@holyjesuswashere Thats true, it's pretty cool to only do 500. I heard its a break-even price also, no profits. Motors done well too.

@holyjesuswashere the corvette engine is hand built by teams of 2 fat guys in Kentucky, hardly half assed and the car itself isnt a slouch on technology either, corevette was the first car ive heard of having a h.u.d. and it's also faster then the gtr around the nurb, just incase you didnt kno a gtr isnt any shit car either...
racingisfun 1 year ago
@racingisfun The corvette ZR1... At just over 105k new, I would kind of hope that it was built by hand XD. The first car that had a h.u.d was an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 1988. Anyway, check the interior of the GTR and the interior of the vette... And also, it has 153 hp and 174 more torque... kinda normal it's faster hehe.

@racingisfun the vette is $25,000 more than the GTR and only .3s faster around the ring.

@J0sh92 the thing is theres way more tech into a gtr where as a vette is just light and brutish... both of em beat up on cars three times the price though...
racingisfun 1 year ago
@J0sh92 .3 second faster? urrrr... get your facts on papers first. New times the vette at 7:22s vs gtr at 7:26 not to say that either are way faster than the other just saying that with technology of a gtr vs brute leaf springs is pretty impressive. On the other hand when vette begins to make a vette with out leafs it'll totally be in a new ball game. I would assume atleast 10seconds faster with out leaf springs.
Tmoua 1 year ago
@Tmoua Actually if you have a look at wikipedia the fastest time for the ZR-1 is 7.26 they have not been back to the Ring since they did the 7.26 and its quoted all over wikipedia that that 7.22 time is a hoax.

@304teddy What did Clarkson say about the ZR1 since u follow it, on the 3rd day of testing, it started falling apart and on the 4th it didnt want to start. So much for your love and heart americans put into their products. Look, the ZR1 is fast no doubt, but its not a quality built car, it simply a juiced up corvette that costs $100+k. What they did with the LFA has been almost 10 years in the making, thats heart and love for engineering, the zr1 was put together in 2 weeks? Impressive

@holyjesuswashere Half assing??? Youre a dummy. Its not about how pretty you can make the car look with your sneaky reverse engineering like in an LFA. Lexus/Toyota hasnt proved anything on any major racetracks yet. The Corvette has won major races on major racetracks. Im not a Corvette fan. But, you cant deny youre not getting your moneys worth in a Corvette, when looking for a racecar. Face that.

@EvaVonHaus No ones denying it ... the corvette is a overpriced American muscle thats built with plastic parts ... the vette doesnt even have a solid read bumper .... The LFA has a 4.8lt v10 the size of a V8 and weight of a V6 ..... chevy had to go with a 7.1 lt supercharged to power the zr1 ... can you say no engineering ? your funny when you say toyota has not proven anything in any race tracks yet but they sure are taking over NASCAR and F1 Racing

You have to get your shit story straight. Most of you look like bozos on pogo sticks. Bottom line is that all you assclowns leave cheap message that dont amount to anything. Even though the Toyota LFA is built with "alien" material, it will never touch the Corvettes record. Can you say "NO CHAMPIONSHIPS"?

@groundhabit "the corvette is a overpriced American muscle thats built with plastic parts" funny how its made of carbon fiber like the LFA but somehow when its put on the vette it becomes some sort of cheap plastic. the vette has a 6.2 liter not 7.1 dumbass and it makes 100more hp than this ricer. "taking over nascar?"-LMAO!!! didnt they also quit F1 because they couldnt win!!!

@holyjesuswashere "No half ass-ing like with the corvette. It's easy to take a car, dump a engine in it and have it doing the quarter in 11 seconds" actually the ZR-1 does 10 second quarter miles. if its so easy why cant toyota match it?
304teddy 1 year ago
@304teddy You're not understanding the point... If toyota wanted to... they could of dumped some twin turbos on that v10 and have it flying down the speedway... But it's different, different philosophies. Americans like it big, strong and fast. Europeans and Japs like putting a little more heart into it. Making a car more intelligent so that it's not that old rugged car that does go fast but is missing a heart.
holyjesuswashere 1 year ago
@holyjesuswashere "You're not understanding the point"-no YOURE not understanding the point. toyota developed this car for 10 years-had yamaha help them build a decent engine and still got pissed on by the vette and the viper. toyota should stick to building those lame appliances the sheeple love. "heart"- you obviously dont race or such an ignorant comment would never have left your mouth. a ZR1/ACR not only have more heart but they also require more heart-you tea sippers neednt apply.

@304teddy you dont get the point, you're all about stupid stats that dont matter, the ZR1 is basically a regular z06 with a supercharger and minor tweeks here and there? the ZR1 is still made from plastic and still has leaf springs, a car that is 100k+ i expect way better quality then some halfass 2 week job, yet you claim they have more heart? where? American car brands are all about quantity and money, never about quality. You dont understand cars at its source, it doesnt matter if u race them
fukwaynecampaign2 1 year ago
@fukwaynecampaign2 the ZR1 is carbon fiber-only a moron would attempt to belittle the use of carbon fiber. the ZR1 also doesnt have leaf springs. the system used on the ZR1 develops more grip and a better ride than any of its competition-how is that a bad thing? if the car rides better and handles better than others who cares what its made of?
304teddy 1 year ago
@304teddy the zr1 is NOT made of carbon fiber, some of its body has carbon fiber, majority is made of fiberglass, I care what the car is made of. Lets be realistic, neither of us has the money to buy the ZR1, and if we did, wouldnt you want your car to be quality made, seems like you wouldnt, they should use you as a lab rat to see how durable the car is once crashed. You're still a typical American, loving and basking in quantity, never quality. Chevy is complete garbage compared to others
fukwaynecampaign2 1 year ago
@304teddy look, I understand that you favor an American brand over anything, its predictable and obvious, that does not mean you understand cars. You arent the 1st one to lash out with a dumbass comment nor will you be the last, ignorance is bliss to you Americans huh? Like teddy said, this is a stock NA v10 made especially do to a certain job, to race, now they couldve fitter a biturbo engine and went 250MPH, but for what? this car is about precision, something american brands always lacked

@xtrajently When the LFA took on the nurburgring there was traffic on it, when the ZR1 took on it, it was totally empty allowing for a similar time, to you it might not mean much sitting behind the comp, but in reality thats at least 10 secs off the rec taken off.
fukwaynecampaign2 1 year ago
@fukwaynecampaign2 the ZR1 went 7:26 around the nurburgring while the LFA only went 7:38. you know nothing of the ZR1 as its body has alot more carbon fiber than any other material. i love how you buthurt idiots get spanked and scream about quality-its all you have left. the ZR1 will spank anything even close to its class from europe and japan and it will be reliable doing it. as for crash testing the US has the strictest crash tests which the ZR1 passes.

Take for example the car lambos and most exotics fear when boosted to 20psi or higher , the Toyota supra . the car is well over 12 years old and you can push 700hp on stock internals and bottom end . toyota has proven worthy for reliability for years
