Lexus LFA Nurburgring - Chris Harris lap of Nordschleife - EVO

[jayman81424]

i do admit the straight up lfa..not the best..but they hit the bulls eye with the nurburgring edition..an absolute MONSTER

[a20axf]

Only Chris Harris can do the nurburgring in 3:14!!

[AldiLover89]

@a20axf well the ediitor can ;)

[Mindcrasher227]

Come on Mr. Traction Controll :D haha

[ellisfreedman]

This is 10x better than any Uk top gear road test. Clarkson and all them get a break when the cameras cut from the interior shots to the exterior. Here he's doing some incredibly intense and technical driving while doing a road (track) test at the same time. Very impressive, Cliff Harris is the man and deserves his own show.

[WR1ck1e]

@ellisfreedman Chris*

[Chvija1986]

He is much much better than Clarkson...

Does anybody have a link of his biography or know something about him?

[AntDX316]

2:17 - 2:27 is awesome

[klikboers]

"Yes...Bloody Hell!" He has to be my favorite car reviewer ever. I wish he would get into more commercially available cars like Sti's and Evo's or maybe the Ft86 and beat the hell out of those.

[prateekk]

@klikboers he just did in the new toyota 86, just been uploaded! Looks incredible!!!!!

[yaboytl]

i love the sound of the LFA, everytime i heard it it sounds like an F1 car for the road...hahah



[banaman18]

wearing a Porsche helmet in a Lexus lfa..very contradicting!

[ScramTek]

@banaman18

He drives in the British Porsche GT3 Supercup Racing Series. Hence, the helmet.

He's also a journalist for evo magazine.

[NLB90805]

For a car I'm not really into; it's still bloody brilliant.

[disengagejam]

Chris Harris is my favorite auto journalist ... he is fucking legit !!!

[psych0s15]

OK, can someone please explain to me why a Justin Bieber video is listed on the suggestion videos on the right margin?

[jakestaa22]

Great sound but yamaha made parts of the engine to make it sound good

[mpfsupra]

@jakestaa22 yamaha has been making Toyota engines since the first sports car was made by Toyota. Yamaha and Toyota are like butt buddies

[jakestaa22]

Great sound but ya aha

[jimayas]

Turn that TC off, Chris...you r cheating...

[TheJsHep]

I got on the computer to watch porn. Close enough...

[v1cbar]

THIS IS BETTER THAN SEX !!!

[swieri2003]

Hmmm, what time he do it in??

[nysdgiants]

did anyone read the write up in evo magazine. to get to drive the LFA N/E chris had to ride with a toyota test driver and follow a IS-F race prepped car around the ring to see if he could keep up with a regular LFA. the test driver also looked to see what lines he took, if he was in the proper gear during a turn, turned off all stability nannies during the drive. after the inititation then you got to drive two laps in the N/E. all the journalist that were invited to the event had to do this.

[sadragne1]

Chris Harris - why are you not on the TV? This is what car-heads want to see!

[ChallengeME8]

i think if Chris said a hyundai excel is the best car in the world i'd believe him !

[gfromtha713]

Did he say 470 horses in the LFA? I thought it was more like 550

[mountainchannels]

@gfromtha713 he said 570 horses

[storyclips]

thumps up for the best car reviewer chris harris!!!

[eraserke]

what kinda persons can disklike this video ?

[XR4turbo]

@eraserke Richard Hammond, James May, and Jeremy Clarkson. 

[smashboompow1]

@eraserke a blind or drunk person?

[TheSnoopy1750]

Chris is the best reviewer out there.

That being said, the sterile nature of the Lexus makes it less of a dream car than a 458, Aventador etc.

[vithaj92]

@TheSnoopy1750 And even those are sterile compared to the wonderfully wild m600

[oneviwatara]

@TheSnoopy1750 Did you know the 458 are 19 second slower around the Nurburgring than LF-A Nurburgring Edition?

[mpfsupra]

@oneviwatara

yeap i knew that. Ferrari fan boys are still denying it though

[Foxiol]

I want my lap...that wasn´t a lap. Next time buy more cameras for the 22 km...

[StuR32]

Cracking vid guys but what about the *whole* lap on the vid for a change?

[richardmajor86]

I notice Chris got to drive the version without the cage in!

[Richspj77]

Great video Chris... You could have worn a drivers watch though...!

[EazyMeezy1]

Sounds amazing.

[jankeymunter]

Who said monkeys can't drive?

[vix121]

@jankeymunter who said retards can't type?

[jankeymunter]

@vix121 relax. Monkey is Chris' nickname.

[lukeagilbertson]

"Well done car"

[VanTheManSLB]

And great lap, BTW. Chris is the man.

LFA = Amazing

[SoorlandRobi]

What day was this recorded?

[suprastar2]

@SoorlandRobi The Nurburgring Edition official release day they hired the Ring for 2-3 days and bought all the NE Ring owners out from all over the world with all the auto media also.

[toy4jay]

He's wearing Porsche helmet to drive Lexus...

[suprastar2]

Man theres someone that dislikes Chris Harris's review 243 likes and 1 dislike whats that all about.

[magisterartium]

Darren Carter Loves Cock! LOL

[AdrianC12345]

Chris!!! Why have you got a Porsche helmet when you're in a 300,000 Lexus!?

[adamgreen222]

Very enjoyable glimpse at the LFA 'ringer.

Good to see the monkey wearing his Porsche colors.

[Notchville]

Thumbs up if you think the person who disliked this video is GAY.

[IwantaLexusLFA]

@Notchville I don't get it, I'm gay and as you can see from my channel the LFA is my favourite car.

[fijentrocchia]

"Chris Harris lap of Nordschleife"...3:41 min video! Congrats Chris! xD

[Xr08paradox]

Love the LFA, Love Chris Harris.

[aikenforjeff]

If a vid title says "Chris Harris," I click on it.

[BrantFortunate]

Wasn't going to watch, but then I saw Chris Harris in the title.

[Toyota4Life]

EPIC CAR ! Thank you Toyo/lexus for makin such a awesome car!

Chris loves this car to death even more so then Ferraris and Lambos ! I love it my fav exotic car right now.

[Toyota4Life]

0:51 to 1:00

OMFG that engine sound freakin epic . LFA WTF

[p0rsch997]

nice Rolex :pp

[peanuts2105]

it's still a Lexus. A brand only fit for grandad in his slippers whilst on a caravan holiday in north wales. Dull

[sford01]

@peanuts2105 If something so miniscule as the badge that's on the car means so much to you rather than its true quality, ability, aesthetics, and performance...you're the definition of superficial, and not a true car enthusiast. I think you may be taking what the guys at Top Gear say a bit too seriously. As Jeremy Clarkson said before, "I don't even know how an engine does what it does". But if Clarkson and Hammond's opinions are the ones you covet most, I feel a bit sorry for you.

[VanTheManSLB]

@sford01 Great comment. I mean, i really love to watch Top Gear but you would have to be really dumb to listen and agree with some stuff they say.

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

1:20

Love how he dogs the Bridgestones!

LMBO!

If LFA's ran on Michelin Sport Cups (like every other sports car), it would break 7:10

[sford01]

@BlackDynamiteNYC I agree. With Michelin Pilot Sport Cups as standard on the GT3/GT3 RS and now optional on the 2012 Z06 I would think Lexus would offer them as at least an option on the LFA Nurburgring Edition. Those tires can do wonders for additional grip/confidence, and if the LFA was equipped with them I think your estimate of 7:10 or lower would be quite plausable. Even without them, it's an astonishing car.

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

@sford01 They signed an exclusive deal with Bridgestone, so they can only use their tires. Ferrari had something similar with the 458, but when they saw the difference with the Michelins, they left Bridgestone QUICK!

[koukiR32]

@BlackDynamiteNYC Incorrect.... Ferrari's available with all three tire manufacturer Pirelli, Bridgestone and M-brand...... and the Bridgestone you referred to is different tire you see here on the LFA RE070R (similar compound to the ones on GTR). They are same tires Potenza S001 on the standard LFA and 458 Italia (difference sizes)

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

He said this is the best production supercar he's ever driven at "The 'Ring"

'Nuff said!

[rebelnumba2]

he is flyin!!

[sanjoriot]

i fuckin want this job!

[Fatalegg2]

Love

[Mubble]

Love this guy. Geezer!

[pringlesbbq]

porsche helmet in a lexus? ironic

[valensi1988]

This man has balls...

[HateWhatISee]

@valensi1988 Much more than that

[alernest]

Glad Harris is back... second best car tester on earth (... after Tim Schrick)

[sh010272]

What was the time? Looked v v quick. Great to see Mr Harris back. EVO should make a tv series with Harry and co.

[LinoD]

@sh010272 ...and i would put up the capital. no joke.

[EroticarTV]

Good work Chris, love the LFA.

[powersliding]

959's had RE71's

[zhbroder]

0:09 LOL READ THE GRAFFITI

[venom5809]

Chris Harris is a god. Respect.

He almost actually made me like this car.

[Buttnut105]

Was not a fan of this car at first. Sounds excellent now though. I'd love one.

[JEMdjole]

to short,to bright, but Chris Harris is back :)

[dwildkat]

Naruse San Gave his life for this one :(

[enemay]

Ummm what was the time?

[fialidia]

chris is on fire!

[VenonA110]

C'mon Mr. Traction Control! :D

[Kais3r2001]

Ringtaxi with Chris at the wheel ? Anyone ? :)

[TheFesLatif]

awesome machine

[Hamood1151]

I think this Special EDITION is more HP and more faster ....

[carsaregood911]

*beep* "im sorry" lol

Chris Harris is so epic!

[neilkasher]

Put Chris Harris On Top Gear! Get Rid Of Clarkson

[adcuz]

@neilkasher no

[Lamboracer1]

Love the roar of that V10!

[hashimola]

Doesn't all the graffiti on the tarmac change the grip levels of the track?

[ILikeReallyBigButts]

@hashimola The paint on roads is different from the paint from a spray-can.

[Macki1287]

@hashimola Yes, it does. Especially in the wet

[seroyer2]

@hashimola you would think, but I'm guessing that there is a shit ton of rubber layed down on the Nurburgring at all times, because so many cars go on it. there's not many racetracks that are used just about every day of the year.

[dwildkat]

@hashimola LoL!!

[TheCheekytrucker]

@hashimola not as much as the amount of oil and car fluids which have been dropped over the years. :)

[TheCheekytrucker]

Shame the sound quality was so poor. Chris actually sounded quite nervous for once, he's normally annoying relaxed whilst doing 100mph+ power slides and such.

[Torchi0]

@hashimola Now there should be Nurburgring tires ''Paint tires'' for better grip

[flawns]

@hashimola if anything it will cover the micro pores in the that cement....therefore increase the surface area ;)

[mattyoz0]

@hashimola For a motorcycle it would!

[stotheimon1]

@hashimola on the nordschleife the griplevel changes all the time ;) thats what makes the track more interessting and more dangeroud

[coolave007]

A genuine car nut. Chris Harris FTW!!!
