LFA Attacks the Ring! - Hot Lapping Lexus' New LFA Supercar

[mmzero562]

the new supra!

[ARESwarRacer]

As I thought...this isn't the complete nordschleife...anyway...its better...this car doesn't have the right to run inside that holy asphalt...

[Imperator0426]

@ARESwarRacer are you retarded!!!!!!!

[GR3B3N]

Those pillars in side windows are annoying

[elwulfo666]

the only bad thing about it is that the gear padles don't move with the steering wheel...

[lastrequiem93]

@elwulfo666 why would you ever try to change gears during a corner....

[elwulfo666]

@lastrequiem93 i don't t in an know if it's the right word but in an parabolica i'd use it in a corner... of if i havn't been fast enough in geering and need to correct it

[996tsp]

Title「900ps HKS GT-R GT800+　318km FISCO1'45"9 /　LFA1'55"2 」

LFA　is slow!!!!

[smoondogg]

2:32 to skip the bullshit!!!

[thefronge]

This isn't the Nordschleife, it's the GP circuit.

[TheIrishCreamPuff]

my dads Z06 beat it around the ring

[rsxzx6r]

@TheIrishCreamPuff unless its modified ...i think ur thinking of the ZR1..and even the new nurburgring edition LFA beat that...

[themardybum08]

@kiamathpro Yeah and radical SR3 did it in 6m 40 something, so what?

[CapitalsMusic]

i dont care whether i could buy 4 cars for the price of this or better performance or whatever, i like the look of the car and i love the sound of it and its not exactly slow by any means!

[DANCEmachine91]

car doesnt sound like it has any soul to it... if i had a 550hp 9000rpm v10 i'd

expect my ears to be ringing after winding it out.. thanks lexus, this car is sensational but i'll be sticking with honda :)

[klamathpro]

The Viper ACR took back the record last week doing 7:12.13.

The ACR-X did it in 7:03.

[lcarrasco212]

Damn i can have 8 of my car for the price of this

[djillest303]

Its nice... 400k is alot of money... Theres alot of cars out there that you could get for that price and are just as good if not better

[emoskater1212]

looks gay as fuck in black...

[Siver0944]

Lexus LFA+Honda NSX-R= BEAUTIFUL STUPID EXPENSIVE CARS!

[Birgenracing]

bad driver w t f lozer lol

[L00peey]

sounds like a lambo

[rcdelatorre98]

They should've badged it a toyota..

[camryt]

The fastest car Toyota ever built? How about GT-One? The best car Toyota ever built? Definatelly.

[killahjeep]

It's an awesome car no doubt, but I bet I could build a car just as exceptional with my own 2 hands..

[rwian]

@killahjeep ...are you serious?

[LilProveInn]

this machine is art, the sound is amazing.

[lighterinthestorm]

only 500 will be made.. ;(

[mysuperliam]

Wooow

[silvawtf69]

oh my god!!!! the sound!!! its undoubtedly one of the most beatiful engine notes i've ever heard =D

[norvegiaostfaan]

i think this car would be more popular if its name was Toyota

[SCs5thGen]

I'd take a ZR1 over this anyday!

[absolutinspire]

@SCs5thGen Even if its sunday??

[SCs5thGen]

@absolutinspire twice on Sunday, especially if it was sunny the day after yesterday

[rsxzx6r]

@SCs5thGen then u prob have ur GED

[SCs5thGen]

@rsxzx6r Well, if I can afford a ZR1 with a GED then I am doing ok...

[rsxzx6r]

@SCs5thGen true...but u said "i'd take one"...so im assuming ur just choosing between the 2...a real educated choice

[SCs5thGen]

@rsxzx6r Well I would have said "I'd take two" but the insurance would get a bit expensive. Since I could "take almost FOUR" for the price of 1 LFA. The only thing about the LFA would be the resale value... Sell it and buy a ZR1 :) keep the change

[rsxzx6r]

@SCs5thGen something a GED person wud say.....that like saying i can have 1000 timex watches for the price of 1 rolex...they all tell time right?

[SCs5thGen]

@rsxzx6r How did you know I had 1000 timex watches??? You should see my biceps because I wear them all at the same time...

[rsxzx6r]

@SCs5thGen lol..touche'

[rivengle]

@SCs5thGen why would you buy a zr1? cars aren't just about speed, they're about quality. there's a reason why corvettes aren't considered "supercars" by many.

[SCs5thGen]

@rivengle Oh Really!?!???? I had no idea that corvette was not as up to par as the real supercars... And I thought GM had it alllll figured out how to make a $300,000 car and sell it for $110,000.

Fit and finish might not be where the "supercars" are, but the fun of driving it is, I'll bet! As far as quality goes, you pretty much do not need to worry about it for 5 years or 100,000 miles... LOL

[fudgesickle1]

Yeah the car is fast and handles great, but I don't think I could pay 400k on a car with an interior design of a car from the 80's. Oh yeah plus I don't have 400k

[atf2pyro]

id take a supra anyday

[MikaOwns]

Shifts are sooooo slow compared to a Ferrari

[stefanlilly]

gtr35 will shit on this

[wchao82]

i got this car on gran turismo 5 and its AWESOME

[3nasacova]

Where this car ultimately wins is the 500 unit limited production run. Owning one isn't about money, it's about exclusiveness.

If you ever get to see one in real life you are very lucky.

I live in Christchurch, NZ.

Yeah Quakeville.

I've seen the new GTR, the Gallardo, and the new Camaro in real life.

Recently I saw a beautiful red Countache. I was looking at videos of it on Youtube a couple of nights beforehand and I thought to myself 'I want to see that car for real'.

And I did!

[imdevonur]

these guys dont know much lol

[444isthenumber]

Instead of a song I have the sound of this car stuck in my head, the best thing to have stuck in your head.

[kingkushLSD]

Toyota + Suzuki = Ownage

[Bobby0345]

Was that the passenger restraint that kept popping up when he slowed down? Now thats some G-force right there.

[Vandekamps01]

Yea but a rolex just tells time too.. but do you bitch and moan about the price. NO! Fucking tools, keep driving your godzilla's while I smoke you on the track with better engineering and a transmission that is probably the best ever produced so far.

[TheToekutter]

I love how all the internet tough guys in here arguing about this car will never own one, touch one, see one, or make enough money in the next 10-20 years combined to ever buy one. LOL! In the mean time the people with with disposable income that is just a drop in the bucket for them will be enjoying this car and grinning ear to ear not giving one shit what people on the shithole of the internet thinks.

[hoodyman88]

@TheToekutter i should copy and past this... just about sums it up lol

[SadisticStang]

@TheToekutter Ya just don't forget it's all these people without disposable income, whom are the ones that keep things running for the rich.

Btw, a Lexus is..well a wannabe. It always has been and always will be..nothing but an overpriced rebadged Toyota. It's only now decade(s) later, that they finally make a car that can be called something other than a rebadged Toyota. Too late, damage to the reputation has been done.

[Sahadi420]

@TheToekutter yea but those with disposable income don't know a fucking thing about cars!!!

[Sahadi420]

@TheToekutter and on a freaky note.. My name is Thomas Sahadi. the "security code" i had to put in was "tahsadi" which is T Sahadi jumbled.........buy a lottery ticket. And buy the lexus.

[TheRichard33193]

@TheToekutter if you cant save 400,000 in 20 years thats sad

[MasterTurdSandwhich]

@TheToekutter I own an LFA but it's in Blue with 800 BHP, and yes, it is on Gran Turismo 5..;-)

[Grmaster32]

@MasterTurdSandwhich i own a lfa. Not in game either. I get to drive her everynight and god she's amazing. Oh how i love it when i get to sleep...

[MasterTurdSandwhich]

@Grmaster32 haha nice one!

[rivengle]

@TheToekutter WRONG. i've seen one.

[WORSTEVERR]

@TheToekutter People can always test drive them buddy.... Thats alll they need to do

[izak85gr]

u r arguing over something you wont even come across with. every car and i mean every car is special! there isnt THE perfect car except in our dreams! you can buy an Ariel Atom and go round tracks faster than a Veyron... what does this mean? the Atom is a better car than the Veyron? ofcourse not! they are build for different things.. and i see that you all praise the veyron.well it costs 1.5m dollars. isnt it overpriced?? though you all say its the best. why would Lfa be a fail with its 400k?

[oldstyleliberal]

that much dough for 3.7 0-60? No thankya. I'll take the Turbo S @ 170k with a 2.7 time

[leloodallasmultipass]

this guy has a voice for magazines.

[hsgmsj]

Wow i recognize the tract from GT5....GT5 realism is amazing becuase it looks the same and feels the same down to the tire noise in the corners. The undulations in the road match as well...wow.

[NS0229]

@hsgmsj you could recognize this track is it was on an n64..

[untenshi223yb]

cool

[DG121480]

Ferrari 458 Italia... Nuff said.

[FleeceLiner]

DO YOU HEAR THAT EXHAUST RESONANCE? HOLY SHIT

[unap16]

Perhaps it doesn't have the most powerful engine or has the highest top speed. But the overall package is stunning to look at and the engine noise as it climbs through to rev range is just unparalleled.

[Speciaindividual]

@unap16 I completely agree.

[twinturboteen18]

why cant they hire decent voice presenters most yanks suck at it..... get the guy who dose movie ads lol

[tomuss94]

The what suspension? all lumin? I hate this guys voice, the way he smacks is lips is bloody irritating

[danielcgomez]

@tomuss94 you must be a yank :-S

[tomuss94]

@danielcgomez No, im insulting the Yanks, so how the fuck am i a yank?

[dontbesoft]

got a lil supra look to it

[SeclipseR]

@dontbesoft yea, when i first saw it, i thought it was the new supra

[dadaboi777]

Damn this thing is overpriced...although you are buying exclusivity and it is an instant boner, it would suck to spend 400k on L-FA and be humiliated by Nissan GTR spec v in the near future....

[squeech707]

well it doesnt seem to be worth 400,000$ ...

[icoopers]

@squeech707 Yup! i agree. Awesome car though.

[budojon]

cool car, great handling.

at 1:52 the commentator says they test drive it on the nordschleife and then we get only to see the small f1 grand prix track.

[saviouroftheuniverse]

Lexus fetish car - I'd be happy with a 458 Italia.

[MrKinghit]

love toyota/lexus but dont think this car looks that great

[SuperYinzer]

354 ft/lbs of torque? The new Mustang GT has more... Gotta have more power for a $400,000 super car.

[pugi050]

@SuperYinzer Yeah but a 9000 rpm red-line and lighter car is in its favor big time!

[Dennis0163]

Nice car, nice sound, but the transmission sucks...

[sub7viet]

@Dennis0163 o really? of course you've driven it and own it right?

[Dennis0163]

@sub7viet No, but you can see it in this movie, and others cars are shifting faster. Testriders say the same as me, so.

[sub7viet]

@Dennis0163 it totally depends on the driver. some drivers can shift better than others and not every supercar is absolutely identical. i dont believe its a bad transmission, you may be right the transmission is not that good since it is a single seq clutch. it still is an awesome car though =D

[suprastar2]

@Dennis0163 I think you'll find the chief Lexus engineer didn't want the dual clutch gearbox as he wanted the car to shift like a proper manual and give you driver feel.Dual clutch gearboxes were tested on the LFA but as above the chief designer did'nt want the car to feel like an auto which is what you get from these dual clutch gearboxes the single clutch was picked instead.

[a7nwee]

Not bad for first supercar!

Can't wait to see the LFA in ten years from now

[sleepnow00]

The New York Times review of LFA on 8/19/10:

"This Lexus tops a number of supercars I’ve driven — not just the similiarly priced Lamborghini Murciélago, but also the $1.3 million Bugatti Veyron."

[nojuicewth]

@sleepnow00 Bugatti would eat this thing inside and out.

[eaglesdood16]

@nojuicewth in a straight line but certainly not on a track.

[mezzadakiller]

@sleepnow00

That guy must be missing all of his limbs. What an idiot.

[icoopers]

@sleepnow00 That some one of NYT must of been on crack if they think this nevertheless awesome LF-A is any way near the performance of the all mighty Bugatti.

[VanillaKilla24]

@sleepnow00

what does the new york times know about cars? lol

[eraseyouu]

@sleepnow00

I got to drive an 07 BMW M6 the other day, holy shit its fast as fuck and you can make a U-turn going 35 mph, no shit it handles like a race car.

[MrYousafBajwa]

@sleepnow00 oh plz u cant compare this to the veyron they are different animals

[size91]

@MrYousafBajwa

you can compare the LFA and the Veyron....look at the TOP GEAR time... the LFA was in WET condetion only a few sec slower than the Zonda R ...so in DRY condetion it will be this few sec faster.....

This LFA has not 1001HP or 16.4Liters.... but it is a Engeering DREAM......

[MrYousafBajwa]

@size91 a few seconds is a lot considering that all teh top scores are just like 1-2 seconds apart

[1ssi7h]

@size91 yea kinda, the Veyron was made for speed, the LFA for the track

[buteaux34]

@size91 It does have 354 ft lbs of torque, which is an engineering blunder in a car with 550 hp, haha.

[buteaux34]

@sleepnow00 Nonsense - its an 11.8 second 1/4 mile. Its a slow toyota supra, haha. 

[ceSniperisback]

@sleepnow00 new york times review?!?! rofl like yanks know much about cars.....

[mnagmobile1]

@sleepnow00 just because that guy drove all those cars doesn't mean he's comparing them according to price range. he just said he has driven it. not saying it's as good as the lambo or veyron.... read it carefully

[Verification11]

I swear this looks like gran turismo 5 game when the camra was inside the car

[mario102395]

i'd still rather drive a Toyota/Lexus with a sticky peddle over a datsun crap anyyyyy day.

[slappymojo17]

Such a nice sweet car but if unlocking for speed I would go for the bugatti veryon -:) now that would make this car look like a go-cart

[ShopVids]

@slappymojo17 yeah but this lexas would make the bugatti look like a boat in the corners.

[sub7viet]

@ShopVids bugatti is not a boat...its a cruiseship/submarine =D

[shdwsclan2]

The only reason it costs 400,000 is that toyota wants to prove a point of somesort....its an 80k car at most....Give it 2-3 years and you'll see. Hell, look at the SLR....one minute its 1.01 mil, then the next its 150K......

GTR is better hands down, since its good on the track as well as road (4wd), add 2 superchargers like power enterprises and LFA = POS....plus the accelerator might get stuck...

[zeekdavis21]

@shdwsclan2 dude i agree that lfa is waaaaaaaay over priced id give it 100k at the most for price i guess they want to go out of buisiness so for tyota ...FAIL and that GTR will beat that LFA with no probs theres room for improvment on the LFA like new trans 2 turbo twin supercharged engine ..theres 1000hp right there and a all carbon fiber body and only comes in the carbon fiber look gold chrome and custom exuast and some intirior mods and that car is worth well over 200,000$

[suprastar2]

@zeekdavis21 Check the Autoweek track test at Goodwood see how the GTR went against the LFA.I think you'll find the LFA beat the GTR by 3 seconds per lap and holds the production car record at this track.

[EJman05]

@zeekdavis21 You are an idiot. The LFA costs 400K because they WANT it to be that exclusive. The engineering in the car is so absoultely amazing, you couldnt even comprehend it. The car is a showcase of technology and engineering of today. Circular loomed carbon fiber chassis? only chassis and 1 of 2 looms in the world. Sealed/seperated cylinders for basically no pumping losses? 4.8 v10 the size of a v6 and lighter then v8? it wasnt designed to be compared to the mommy driveable GTR

[304teddy]

@EJman05 "The car is a showcase of technology and engineering of today"-NOT. the 100k ZR1 will piss on this toyota ricer

[EJman05]

@304teddy are you retarted? LEXUS WAS NOT TRYING TO MAKE THE FASTEST CAR IN THE WORLD. THEY DONT CARE IF THE PUSHROD V8 LEIF SPRINGED CORVETTE CAN BEAT IT IN A DRAG RACE. you obviously dont get my point so when your head finally pops out of your ass and u lose some of your american ignorance maybe youll realize why and especially how the designed the LFA

[304teddy]

@EJman05 "LEXUS WAS NOT TRYING TO MAKE THE FASTEST CAR IN THE WORLD. THEY DONT CARE IF THE PUSHROD V8 LEIF SPRINGED CORVETTE CAN BEAT IT IN A DRAG RACE." ohh so now youre getting all caps lock on me! who said they were trying to make the fastest car? im just stating facts that obviously hurt your feelings-grow a pair or quit cheering for the loosing team.

[EJman05]

@304teddy hurt my feelings? i couldnt care less about some internet argument. I said the zr1 is a bad ass car. The LFA is also a bad ass car, and you dont seem to see my point. Why are you even watching this video is you dislike the LFA so much? This "ricer" with a little 4.8L 550 HP v10, carbon fiber chassis etc etc... grow up and look at the car for what it is, not what will beat it in a drag race..

[EJman05]

@304teddy o ya huh the LFA beat the ZR1 lap time at the nurburging.

[EJman05]

@304teddy nor am i even saying the zr1 sucks, the zr1 is badass in its own right and a fuckn monster, but your missing the point of the LFA

[Flicker455]

Talking like you've got a clue. Hysterical.

[fenix144]

@shdwsclan2 they lose money on each one they sell. I think you don't know what you're talking about.

[YourDopamine]

Such a fast car I'm not even in the driver or passanger seat and im scared.

[freyness]

The Accelerator will get stuck, don't buy it.

[DREWCIVIC]

vette will cost the same price in rapairs and this will still go strong for many years

[changoskillz]

.... i think i just came....

[kawaihui]

It's definitely way better than Supra, but also cost way more. It's good to see the Japanese started to build super car as the Ferrari or Porsche level. Looking forward of the New RX7 and NSX at next year~

[tfujiwara6]

that wasn't the nurburgring at the end

[cchhrriiss41]

who is gonna be the first to turbo this thing lmao

[mountainboundwbd]

when i look at the out side from the side i just keep feeling this modern style look of a Supra!

[defaeced]

@mountainboundwbd i hear that! I think i saw pictures of a new supra concept a couple years back... . this is the car that i saw but its not the supra its the LFA now..

[mountainboundwbd]

@defaeced yea same here, i think that photo is still circulating to, if toyota let lexus have that concept for the supra, that's just wrong

[cabo02]

Overpriced for a Toyota. Even a supercar Toyota.

[redphiveII]

well, is Mclaren SLR 4X faster? or carrera gt? or they suck as well.

at least LFA is faster than SLR and Carrera GT and costs 50 grand less.

[jobbylou]

@redphiveII HEY RETARD the SLR AND CGT are old fucking tech now idiot. Take a look at the GT2RS new tech and it murders not onlt the LFA but the SLR and CGT

[redphiveII]

@jobbylou haha yet i dun think they will sell it to you for 100 grand.

[jobbylou]

@redphiveII no one said they would idiot. I stated a fact that car tech changes so fast that in 5 years things can be obsolete.

[mrplowable]

@redphiveII i whooped little lulu's ass weeks ago and his 6 boyfriends.

Sorry I butt hurt him so bad I made him your problem cause he had to pick another fight after running away from the one he TRIED to start with me.

Too bad he still couldn't pick a fight he can win huh. Maybe next time he should try fighting an 8 year old girl and then he might... nah, she'd still kick his ass to.

[mrplowable]

@jobbylou hey pin dick loser, you got your ass kicked so bad you had to run away and start this fight LOL

Fact

then you got your ass whooped here and though you could run back and save face on old fights.

Truth

let me guess Lulu, you blocked redphivell cause you can't allow him to own your ass like I have.

kill yourself loser, at your age to be like you are now, you will never amount to anything. Just look at your mom and dad for proof of that :)

u truly r pathetic in every way.

[jobbylou]

@mrplowable HAHAHA I beat you and made you my bitch weeks ago. I will beat you again but your dad has to stop ass fucking you first. HAHAHAHAHAH 6 beat you down SIX different people beat you like a bitch hahahahahah Sorry fag you lose again

[mrplowable]

@jobbylou you can't even beat your own micro meat ya little pin dick

fact

the only thing you can do is repeat yourself for 6 months and still think you kicked anythings ass, LOL.

[negativeindustrial]

You Corvette humping trailor park kings have lost your damn minds. The LFA and the GTR cannot be compared to ANY model of your overpriced camaros.

[cliffabrown]

@negativeindustrial the LFA is in a different league from the GTR and vette, it's a much more refined machine (at over 5x the cost). as far as the gtr vs. corvette zr-1, it's not even a comparison. the vette will walk over your awd turdball on the ring any day with evenly skilled drivers behind the wheel.

[colindyvig]

@negativeindustrial LOL...of course not, it cost too much to compare to nearly any other car. :)

[TheOriginalGayman]

@negativeindustrial and the lexus isn't overpriced?

[stevea138]

My guess is that when the 600 HP Honda HSC finally hits it will best this car's performance and do it at a quarter of the price. DAMN TOYOTA WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?? this is what happens when the grandson of the company is allowed to make decisions..this car was his pet project. Who the hell could ever justify buying this over a Ferrari or Lamborghini?? in this ECONOMIC CLIMATE to boot! Toyota should get an award for stupidity...:(

[rokusho7]

@stevea138 you're stupid. FYI, it already sold out so I don't think it matters. What you don't realize is that this car is made on limited numbers. Try 500.

[kidcool1977]

@stevea138 Honda put an axe on their HSC project, I don't think we'll see a supercar from honda no time :( soon. 

[Ym1r]

@kidcool1977 Apparently you haven't seen the HSV-010

[panhia430]

Wow!! Only if i could afford this car, it would be in my garage.

[stevea138]

@panhia430 If I could afford this car, a GTR Vspec and $320K leftover cash would be in my garage

[krapfeaster]

Is this any auto tranny? wtf? 

[clipintheak1]

@krapfeaster dsg

[rsxzx6r]

@krapfeaster yes...just like the Enzo and GTR...column shifter

[Unique539]

is to bad is not available with a 6 speed stick shift. autoclutch sucks

[alucard0712]

I didn't believe the price...

[skillz1855]

this car isnt nowhere near that of a ZR1 in terms of speed or handling, 400K and has the performance of a stock Z-06

[jwray7934]

nice car but no one in their right mind will by a 400k toyota (lexus)

[levirolla]

being that the LFA is a halo car, TOYOTA, PLEASE GIVE ME A SUPRA THATS ALMOST AS GOOD, thats all I ask. Yall can call it a Lexus too for all I care, As long as its got at least 450bhp, single turbo, 3JZ. I could care less about making it light weight cause Supras have always been a lil heavy anyway.

[mikldude]

full carbon fibre body , ceramic brakes are not cheap, alloy suspension, this one would be a keeper.

[Sooksawaspakdee961]

Why 400.000 $ ?????. To much saké when the price was set or what.
