Lexus LFA v Ferrari 599 GTO in the Scottish Highlands- evo exclusive

[Howie262]

Ferrari for less....lol.

[rusty5100]

@1:52 same damn wheels.

[lrecollet]

the LFA isnt selling well.. and soon it will be the yester-year of supercars. i think it should come with more power for its price.. all other super-exotic cars trump it but it also meets it for sound. the LFA is a great car. but its ferrari all the way

[ThErOck232]

@lrecollet How is the LFA not selling well when all 500 units proposed were sold out even before production began?

Please get your facts right before you come and talk down on Lexus.

[lrecollet]

@ThErOck232 yes it may have sold 500 units before production began. that was over 2 yrs ago.. get your facts straight. this isnt 2010.. its 2012.

[ThErOck232]

@lrecollet What do you not understand about "all 500 units proposed were sold out"?

If you don't understand what that means, let me explain;

Production is limited to Five Hundred Units.

(This means that every LFA built OR yet-to-be-built already has an owner)

You can't buy one now even if you wanted to.

Production started in December 2010, with about 20 cars hand-built each month (to ensure top quality for each car), and will cease end of 2012.

BOOM! 500 cars.

Your facts. Get them straight.

[nielsboex]

@lrecollet

Are you trying to look dumb ?

[lrecollet]

@nielsboex nope, sorry dudes, if you read current news updates on this car, rather then 2 yr old infornation.. you would find out

[nielsboex]

@nielsboex

Do you mean the racing edition ?

[AlexSALAMINO]

There's 670 devils in the engine of GTO!!

[Tacomaz123]

I would take the LFA over the 599 any day!

[artvertex]

Love the LFA because it gave us the GT-86 and BRZ, which I can afford. 

[kraktic]

They should have reviewed it in more depth

[mopacman511]

That Elvis statue was really creeping me out...

[xxBIGBOSSKIDxx]

i go for lfa

[nousernamesification]

Prefer the LFA! Such a sound, my God!

[nathsgames]

You guys have the best job in the world.

[cardude1992]

i love both but 599 gto a bit more because its a halo ferrari and faster. people need to grow up appreciate both car cus theyre both awesome. stop being fanboys for one brand.

[rivengle]

@cardude1992 THANKYOU. We have too many people nowadays that are just Brand enthusiasts, and can't just get past a little name and a badge on a car, not the actual mechanical beast itself.

[cardude1992]

i would love to see a comparison between the 599 gto and zr1. a proper one not a biased one.

[rivengle]

@cardude1992 Not even in the same league.

[AlexOliver555]

It would take me forever to decided which of these two I would have.

[ssj04]

the intro look and sound like "The Ring"... creepy and scary.

[diarmuid54]

brill car sounds amazing. if your comparing companys then id rather a toyota than fiat

[ClubAverage]

In the last 10 years i have not seen a new car i love. Lexus LFA is that exception.

[Fan4ManUnited]

lol lexus vs ferrari??? why do you compare these cars. One car is full of racing history and the other is a rice rocket with 10 turbos in it...pathetic

[ssj04]

@Fan4ManUnited you're stupid

[Fan4ManUnited]

@ssj04 good one

[rivengle]

@Fan4ManUnited Stupid people don't truly know how stupid they are.

[dcr33313]

@Fan4ManUnited Except that the LFA is naturally aspirated and you're a racist...

[Fan4ManUnited]

@dcr33313 its the truth

[Kuriousgorge87]

@cheaniggachea I get what you mean about Brand name and all that....but if you talk about engineering the LFA is at another level....either way you'll be turning heads with your high status symbol...In this case the "at the end of the day im driving a ferrari not toyota" doesnt really work against the LFA cuz its not even a toyota anymore its a real supercar...

[Hamood1151]

@Kuriousgorge87 Man you're agree 100% ... LFA doesn't mean Toyota it's an Supercar ^_^

[amsmiami2011]

The Ferrari is much better than the Toyota lol!! gay comparison!

[adamY2K]

@amsmiami2011 Well Ferrari is owned by Fiat :S so shutup

[officernasty93]

I have a Lexus.

I have a Ferrari.

Period

[jjpgoosen]

is that a fiat next to the lexus?

lmfao.

[Nbuilder1]

LFA= expensive toyota, liked by fan boys that can't afford one.

599 GTO= History, prestige, Ferrari if you say the name = speed and girls period.

[DeltaPhi79]

I think I would take the LFA because of the sound and looks.

[SwPiotrek]

This video should be titled "Beauty and LFA".

[samc821]

The GTO is an amazing hypercar for people that want to be seen and heard...

The LFA is an under the radar (relatively) supercar for people that love driving.

Sounds like a lot of people want to be seen and heard!

[Dkhan23]

Girl: What car you drive?

Me: Lexus

Girl: OH OKAY

Me: Joking Bitch, I got a Ferrari

**Girl takes of clothes and you fuck

[CaptSaveAHo3]

@Dkhan23 hahahahahahsahahahah

[taylor1038]

@Dkhan23 Me: What car do you own?

LFA Owner: A LFA.

Me: *takes clothes off*

[Dkhan23]

@taylor1038 Since the LFA is owned by a guy and you're a guy, that comment was just gay

[rivengle]

@Dkhan23 Is there anything wrong with being gay?

[stefanpetrov8]

@Dkhan23

Bet she'll have an orgasm when she hears the lfa :D

[darealronaldo]

@Dkhan23

Then the Ferrari catches on fire!

Run bitch!

[Imperator0426]

@Dkhan23 LFA would get you more pussy  just because of sound!!!!! LFA all the way!!!!

[Dkhan23]

@Imperator0426 599 GTO V12 sound over any other cars sound

[tuopinionno]

@Dkhan23 um you should watch what Paris Hilton drives, just saying LFA booooi

[youtubarrr]

@Dkhan23 Then a modified Supra pulls next to your Ferrari at the stop light and the driver says "What's the retail on one of those?" and you say "More than you can afford, pal". Then you race and get smoked. Then the girl goes "Your car sucks" and leaves you.

[BlackStar250874]

@Dkhan23 It's not the car, but the money that will get you laid in those situations. Anyway, only losers need something to get laid. Real men don't need that shit.

[JoeCaliforniah]

I drive a lexus. I drive a ferrari. pretty obvious choice is it.

[flammnkta]

Nice Lfa. High tech marvelous. But a Ferrari... is in its world. Ferrari supersport.

[yo93yeah]

everyone knew what the 599 gto was going to be like but the lfa leaved the world in shock when it was first presented... and of couser the 599 is faster

[t8trg8tr]

IN MY OPINION... you don't have to agree

GTO>LFA>GTB

[wongwuipong]

Definitely for sure LFA of Lexus is more outstanding.

[MrRuovesi]

If you take the toyota, you have to explain; lfa (what?) is a high end, its not a corolla.

If you take the ferrari, you don't have to explain anything.

[moimohd]

can someone compare corolla with ferrari ?????

come on :)

[Death190]

We all know the 599 would fking destroy that beautiful thing :D But i respect the LFA because its so sexy and Toyota know what their doing :D

[TifosiAlonso]

Ok I admit I like the video but if I had the chance to choose one of them I would go for the GTO. For me it's just insane, the way it looks, the way it sounds, the way it goes round corners.

[ShadowProduction1]

@Truemoderate Don't you mean Fiat? That's what a Ferrari is...

[mehdibensoussi]

Ferrari all day ... But still like the lfa ... That sound is just killer .

[namybot]

FERRARI V12=GOD

[Truemoderate]

Ferrari over a Toyota any day!

[2011CJM]

@Truemoderate what you on about its a lexus not a toyota

[vk45de]

@Truemoderate Comparing your average Toyota with the LFA is like comparing your's with a Killer whale's.

[Truemoderate]

@vk45de And comparing it to ANY Ferrari its just a Toyota.

[seboufdu59]

GTO, no doubt.

[mikennamorato]

GTO!!!

[tomuss94]

Grr. I saw the photos in the mag a while back, and thought, If only I had moved here a week or so earlier. :(

[twztd28]

It almost looks like they have the same rims... I would probably take the LFA, for no reason in particular, I want both cars.

[soubido]

LFA: Elvis approved

[visiteur00000]

Before saying the LFA is Shit and the Ferrari is better, have you ever driven either of those? Can you afford one of those? Do you have the legal age to drive? Or do you just base your opinion on Top Gear?

[AnnelKadicc]

FORZA FERRARI!!!

[TheMrCrumble]

Both sound so good omg, hard to choose lol, thought lfa's noise is the best but damn that gto sounds great too, i'd love to have either of them :(

[Petrolface]

599 gto, 288 gto, 250 gto...come on

[kidno12rox]

LEXUS LFA ALL THE WAY WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

[tinleo333]

@kidno12rox means 9000rpm v10 and light weight=cool

[kennth4869]

599 GTO ~ <3<3

[test0wy]

@alittlecountry09 But 1000 rappers, daddy blond daughters and other fucktards are buying ferraris and lamborghinis for several years.

[tinleo333]

@test0wy yea right

[ervinski7]

GTO rules <3

[Resnorth]

who put that shitty lexus against Ferrari? this test is nothing about, no one normal man would buy that japanese crap.

[eins2001]

@Resnorth Is that way they were all sold before they were even made?

[Resnorth]

@eins2001 because some ppl like u, kid, are so stupid so thay spent money for nothing. their right.

[test0wy]

@Resnorth Oh yeah, they will buy it. There are true automobile enthusiasts around the world and they have money for that.

But you're just a little loser which only barks loudly.

And for the record - that shitty ferrari looks and sounds like crap compared to Lexus. There is no logical explanation to buy that ferrari instead of Lexus.

[rivengle]

@Resnorth You're right, no normal man would. Because, they do not see anything past that nationality and the badge of a car. Just because it's a Lexus, doesn't mean it's a car people would absolutely LOVE to drive. Let the enthusiasts do the talk and the wanting, not the normal people.

[snoozefest41]

take the jap car anytime....

[cavaleer]

LFA?? Yeah right. Although, with an all-carbon structure it should be tremendous. I'll take a GTO and walk...

[bigd12814]

If I was rich i wouldnt be rich long i would be broke in weeks if i had the lfa i would be paying so many speeding tickets

[BestCarSound]

@bigd12814 No, you'd go to Green Hell every...I don't know maybe w-end! lol

[phantomloita]

LFA and GTO has the same wheel BBS RK.

[Halliday57]

I love both

[500019579]

It took me a few seconds to realize that wasn't a 3rd person sitting with them.. It was just Elvis.

[R2Mintus]

LFA, even without the histories/traditions of the Italians, is, like was BlackDynamiteNYC said, "Most. Epic. Ever." The Elvis of the car world.

[R2Mintus]

@R2Mintus

**what not "was"

[Timx4]

@R2Mintus lexus lfa, the heritage in the making

[mammo8369]

@R2Mintus maybe u lfa fan boys should watch the next video...the done a 0-60 and top speed test and the 599 gto DESTROYS the lfa....only italians can build super cars !!

[CSzezerense]

Ferrari 599 GTO, end. The LFA is one of the best ever, but only a weeaboo would buy it. The 599 GTO is... Well, it's everything, really.

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

LFA.

When only EPIC will do.

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

LFA. Most. Epic. Ever.

[Vudo865]

The sound of the lfa is glorious! like an old f1 car

[DumpValvesAndDnB]

0:12 to 0:17 over and over and over and over.... I need this in my life. it's christmas soon, fingers crossed.

[test1uci]

LFA next to GTO looks like future car from 90' like ford gt90...

[IwantaLexusLFA]

LFA all the way

[danpescatori]

@IwantaLexusLFA ahah funny people you everibody are....eheh...and little ridicolous also...

[IwantaLexusLFA]

@danpescatori Dato che il tuo inglese è terribile me lo puoi anche dire in italiano, siamo italiani entrambi:)

[danpescatori]

@IwantaLexusLFA Chiedo perdono professore...siete tutti ridicoli, tu a scrivere una roba del genere, gli altri a mettere mi piace...mi scusi ancora per il mio inglese, ma la sostanza non cambia, fai ridere!!

[IwantaLexusLFA]

@danpescatori A me fanno ridere quelli che ancora ci credono alla ferrari, e mi smuovono anche un pò di compassione...

[cheaniggachea]

@IwantaLexusLFA chink scrap metal fan bois gunna chink scrap metal fan boi

[ron20102002]

I thought I would never say this but that Lexus exhaust sounds better then Ferraris.

[SuperchargedMind]

599 GTO! I mean come on FERRARI vs lexus ! At the end of the day despite the technology speed sound everything its a lexus

[VpY22]

@SuperchargedMind you're right!!! it is a fucken LEXUS!!! now get me one!!!!

[SPMNDK89]

That fucking elvis creeps me out!!!!!!!

[jojsdfsdfsd]

Man. Japanese cars are not for jokes buddy

[oneviwatara]

I would love to see Evo testing LF-A Nurburgring edition.

[rmcld]

@oneviwatara Go to their website, Chris Harris drove it around the Ring.

[kittleboy]

Are you talking for yourselves??

or is this a program!

[MrLoose26]

half of the 2min vid about you guys in a pub..wtf

[Taholdz]

@MrLoose26 That is there overall views plus its not a long video so they dont have much time :/

[alveechowdhury]

Regardless of the verdict, the LFA and the 599 GTO are two of the best sounding engines in production today.

[omgmitzidis2]

lfa 4 the win

[v1cbar]

I choose Lexus LFA,no worries the best car ever made...but Ferrari? Ferrari soon will be on fire :)))

[92EnzoPL]

You have the best job in the World ;/

[oneviwatara]

LFA=KING.

[CARSRULE94]

I believe this is the only case in the whole universe where i would take a Lexus over a Ferrari!

[Michaelation08]

You see?? I honestly think the price of the lexus draws people in not away. There is a damn good reason why its soo expensive. It feels like nothing else...so ive heard lol

[tacoxdude]

Elvis's Mind was blown away..Yup the 599 and LFA will have that effect on anyone :)

[RobertoCarlosTinoco]

I would take the LFA. The engine sound is orgasmic!

[maartenderu]

The slow motion @ 45 secs is just plain AWESOME!

Great stuff need it more.

[cardude1992]

the lfa is lighter than the 599 gto despite having more luxury thanks to carbon fiber body and slightly smaller size. and that engine. just wow.

[ChickenCritters]

toyota has a shit ton of money. they hired the best of the best engineers.and made some bad ass legit car. i would take the lfa if i could afford it

[TheLimitless35]

Damn the LFA looks so dank the only thing they can do to make it better is to make it CHEAPER

[Jetsrule192]

599>LFA any day!!!! Ferrari 4 life

[Vycatocom]

Rock'n roll and pink?

[valensi1988]

This is proper supercar driving.

Jumping on bumps, oversteering near guardrails, in a forest.

That's why evo is the best magazine in the world.

[iISTKIi]

Lfa sex XD

[roosterandabaldguy]

the lfa looks tiny in comparison!

[CassettePlaya1]

@timtime88 You seem to miss the point of what people are trying to tell you in that it's still a fantastic car no matter who it's built by and no matter what the price. Plus for the record Porsche is part of VW or more so the other way round as Porsche owns a majority share of Volkswagen even if it is by a slight percentage

[mrkerpal2]

@CassettePlaya1 VW is the primary owner of porsche. Porsche just went bankrupt a few months ago trying to buy VW despite being owned by them. Heres the order of who owns who:

VW

Porsche

Audi

Lamborghini

[evilet1111]

Timtime, you are a fool.  Sign off the internet and float a gt-r up your arse.

[InStyleDK]

Gonna go with the LFA, sorry Ferrari

[immatthewwilliams]

the two cars that if I had the money; I would be all over like a rash. utterly fantastic cars!!

[danthemanpatrick]

noises that should be coming from F1 cars...

[japster1113]

if you are seriously considering buying cars in this level, PRICE IS NOT A FACTOR. so stop using the price as a comparison.. if you have to look at the price, you probably can't afford it ;)

[PreludeH22A5]

@japster1113 This is the most reasonable answer ever! "f you are seriously considering buying cars in this level, PRICE IS NOT A FACTOR" - epic!

+1

[anotherone10]

1:10 looks like Martin Brundle

[TheRighteous123]

Two of the best sounding cars in history!!!

[feverNpain999]

if the LFA had a ferrari badge, everyone would praise it regardless of it's price

[dillonco92]

does the LF-A sound better? or is that just me...

[TheStallion234]

@dillonco92 The V-10 in the LFA is one of the greatest sounding engines ever in a road car. No, its not just you.

[powderhund14]

@TheStallion234 that or the gt3 rs 4.0 or a one 77

[TheStallion234]

@powderhund14 Or any AMG V-8...the list goes on, but I still think this engine takes the cake

[mcmanus1806]

@TheStallion234 the four greatest car sounds I personally think are (in no order) Ferrari 360 CS, BMW M5 Meistershaft exhaust, Lamborghini Gallardo (with exhaust) and lexus LFA :D

[AdrianC12345]

As great as the LF-A is, it's just not good looking like the Ferrari. Even if it is a "fake" GTO.

[Buttnut105]

I'd love to have an LFA I just don't see myself willing to spend such a great deal of money on it. 

[timtime88]

i will take that Fiat over that Toyota

[AdrianC12345]

@timtime88 Because on top of your blandness you want horrible reliability too...

[timtime88]

@AdrianC12345 if i want reliability, i would buy toyota, yes, but not for that money

[AdrianC12345]

@timtime88 Well who cares if Toyota made it? It's freaking incredible, the price is steep because it's expensive to build these types of cars the first time through. Not to mention that the build process is exceptional.

[timtime88]

@AdrianC12345 its not that incredible. its barely faster than GT-R. in that case, GT-R is more incredible cuz it can do the same thing and not even the half of the cost.

@timtime8
