Lexus LF-A first Race 2008 !! Track Nürburgring-Nordschleife

[supertrex2]

why is there a red circle thing sticking out?

[purvertedmunk]

they need to add this car to forza 3

[sgtGrif]

wow that thing corners well, hit the line every time...

[0DmR0]

it seamed to hold a nice tight line round the corners, No wallowing like the other cars if u look closely.

[Freestyler080]

this year at 24h race they will race the lfa again

[ddRoy]

yes 2 Lexus LF-A and 1 Lexus IS F (Team Gazoo Racing )

21,-24.05.2009 Nürburgring ;-)

[technologic21]

that's what the new supra is. lexus will maket it at their dealers as the lf-a. Nissan did the same with selling gtrs at infiniti dealers.

wonder if the lf-a will see LeMans.

[technologic21]

that's what the new Supra is.

Wonder if it will race LeMans

[WorldofLuxury]

I know I'm only dreaming, but it'll be cool to see this car race side by side against a prototype vehicle in the LeMans - the new Audi R15 TDI, for example. :D

[8487023471]

gotta love that sound

[SpeedKlz]

My GOD what a monster!!! Just listen to that thing! It is just going eat the GT-R V Spec and spit it out like a seed.

[drbos]

ok, well is there Infinity in Japan as well?

[MrRobotto]

No, but the GTR was never going to be an Infinity in the US. The only reason the R35 was released as the G35 in the states was because the car was new to the market. That's why Nissan dropped the Skyline name when the GTR was released stateside.

[drbos]

this is not a lexus.. there is no such thing call lexus in Japan. remember they did the same thing for the  GTR.. (Infinity GTR) then when it came out it was Nissan GTR. could be the next Supra!!!!!

[MrRobotto]

Lexus has existed in Japan since 2002...

It hasn't existed as long in Japan as it has in the US but there is nonetheless a Lexus moniker in Japan.

[Suprahajimoto]

Fuck the GTR. Im selling my Armada and putting a down payment on this thing.

[drbos]

lol funny.....

[GTRnev8820]

Fuck is it coming out soon!!!!!!?????????

[stirl]

what a sound. pure sex!

[hksp]

nice result 1st place

[skylinefolife]

how do you know it was in 1st place?

its not the street version, so what is this? i didn't know they had a GT car already...

this is lame. it doesn't show anything. i did like how that porsche gt3 passed it :D

[levirolla]

sucks they just want call it a supra but i understand why. Nobody is going to spend 100k plus at a Toyota dealership. Imaging that thing parked next to a yaris, bad business. Call it a Lexus so it will sell. Remember they wanted to call the GTR a Infinity. We all know its a Supra

[weeknballer25]

I said this same exact thing months ago on another vid......there calling it a lexus so they can jack up the price. Supra or not, no one is gonna spend that much money on a toyota.... All though I most certainly would...long live SUPRA!!!!

But I could be wrong, look at the GTR. People are spending well over 100k for it...If the supra were to re-realease, Im pretty sure the hype alone would cause for high prices and sells.....

[gidsum29]

Why not a Toyota Landcruiser is 80,000.00USD!

[dietaryfiber15]

this is not even supposed to be involved with the supra the lexus FTHS concept is not he LF-A. this car will go under toyota's luxury line(lexus)

[dns15r]

the successor of supra?

[gixxer450]

yep

[mrjswift]

sounds like it has a high red line.

[dukviper90]

yeah they said something like 8000 rpm for the v10

[doubledeckertaco]

i heard 9000 rpm redline ;D

[dukviper90]

wow even better

[Zrider87]

9000 rpm v-10 lol and they may be making i go for 550hp

[dukviper90]

yeah it would be light so it would kill the competition. you think they we'll ever redesign the supra?

[gixxer450]

dont u see a resemblance of the supra and this car?

[DJJAW11]

Yes, i cant wait for it the finally show itself, road car wise!, finally somthink serious from toyota/Lexus!.

still mid engine is it guys, or mid front engined?

[gixxer450]

i dont kno but i know how u feel, toyota hasnt had any good sports cars since the last supra in 98, i was worried that toyota would never resurect the supra, but it looks like thats wat there workin on, i cant wait the car looks totally badass and sounds like an f1 almost wit that v10, and it has the look of the supra, cant wait to see this bitch comeout,

[dukviper90]

yeah you can but i hope they have a toyota version so i can afford it someday. no way in hell we'll i ever afford a 100000+ dollars car in my life

[gixxer450]

"no way in hell we'll i ever afford a 100000+ dollars car in my life" that is some negative thinking there, THINK POSITIVE.

[twenty514]

lol thts exactly why he/she'll never get one, setting himself up for the minimum instead of the best!

[Lv1nightmare]

Gixxer450 is right.  never say "i can't afford it", say "what do i have to do to afford it"

[FlatoutProject]

Nice car, is it planned to produce it or will it be a racer only ?

[ddRoy]

is it planned to produce it ? YES !!!

[mellamoenrique]

does 3400 pounds translate to $3,400 dollars? or 34,000 dollars? either way thats extremely cheap for a v10.

[InsertTrendyNameHere]

yea the price of the car is going to be $3,400, actually more like around $200,000.

[roffel89]

make it a zero more :P the LF-A is rated at the price of the Mclaren SLR (700,000 EURO, so 1mil Dollar)

[dukviper90]

no its not lexus said there bringing it out for 100000 dollars

[cordoser]

Actually what Idmcnutt says there, The 3400 pounds is the weight of the car, not British Pounds. 3400 pounds = about 1550 kg.

[secretagentbloke]

Well, if prizes were given for the best sounding car, she would win!!! I know, i was at trackside! Took me a few laps to realise what she was

[ldmcnutt]

Toyota, I hope you read these posts.

I would love to buy an LF-A in 2009. It needs to be 1) under 3400 pounds. 2) at least 550 hp. 3) a V-10. 4) spin 9,000 rpm.

I know you are campaigning a V8 at Nurburgring and Formula 1 changed its rules to V8's, but anything less than a 9000 rpm V10 is not an exotic and therefore, just a Toyota.

Sincerely,

Lawrence McNutt MD, Stanford University

[YZach]

So I guess any production Ferrari/Lambo/Aston Martin/and basically every other V8 or V10 or V12 exotic is out of the question for you as well? Practically none of which make power to 9000, and you can't afford one either, so there's no need to try to impress random people on the internet.

[DIESSELXP]

EVERYBODY SAY:

During the 4-hour race, the LFA covered 23 15.13-mile laps, grabbing 77th place. Its fastest lap was 9:06. While that lap time may sound slow compared to the Nissan GT-R's best Ring time of 7:29, the GT-R was clocked on just the 12.9-mile Nordschleife without the additional sprint section,BUT...

Just to reiterate so there's no confusion:

this isn't the same course that the GT-R and ZR1 are lapping. That course is exclusively run on the Nordschliefe,racing with traffic.

[sarezfx]

In fact the fastest lap was a 8:56.637 in qualifying

[johnnyny516]

wow.

[viperq]

Looks like this might be the Le Mans racer.

Lexus LF-A won its first race in Adenauer ADAC Rundstrecken-Trophy at Nurburgring

The Lexus LF-A won the SP8 class of the Adenauer ADAC Rundstrecken-Trophy race at Nurburgring. The Lexus LF-A finished 2 laps ahead of the Chevrolet Corvette which was entered by Kissling Motorsport and 8 laps ahead of the Aston Martin Vantage that finished third.

[koukiR32]

NICE! Can't wait until it's actually in production... I wonder is this gonna replaced the SC430?? If so, people are gonna pay a lot more for a lot more of a car?

[JimPrower]

Any news how they did?
