The Lexus LFA
Lexus LFA is a second model in the F marque line of vehicles from Lexus. It is a two seated exotic sports car, produced by Lexus as a concept car, halo vehicle, racing archetype and manufacture model. Three concept versions at North American auto show have been shown. The first LF-A concept was premiered in 2005, second in 2007 with more furnished interior and exterior, and finally, the third one in 2008 as a roadster model.
The new Lexus LFA has V10 engine and carbon fibre reinforced polymer body. Its maximum torque output of 354 lb ft (480 N m) arrives at 6800 rpm; 90 percent is available from 9500 rpm. The engineers made efforts to make the engine as that of a formulae one car with high revs. They have also maintained the consistency and pulsation control of Lexus cars. The v10 engine allows a more rapid engine response.
The Lexus LFA has total length of 177.4 inches (4510 mm); its wheel base measures 102.6 inches (2610 mm); its height is about 48 inches (1200 mm) and width is 74.6. If you compare the 2007 and 2008 concepts with the new concept, it is 2 inches longer the same height, width and wheel base.
For improved aerodynamic performance, Lexus LFA has sharp edges and cut offs. The body was designed by keeping in mind the down force.
The interior of Lexus LFA includes carbon fibre, leather, alcantara and metallic surface. It also has remote touch controller and 2 bucket seats. A 12 speaker mark levinson sound system was developed for the interior.
Lexus is styled according to the modern Japanese L-finesse design philosophy. The gorgeous look is the first reason for its popularity. The car gives you comfortable driving experience. It is said to be an effortless car as far as driving fast is concerned. The ride quality is usually firm at times. The perceived quality of the new Lexus is very high, having aesthetically gorgeous and highly tangible interior surfaces.
There is not much space in the LFA. The luggage space is also small. There is a remote touch infotainment system, installed inside, which has a mouse like controller. Numbers of audio systems are also available.
Lexus LFA is an expensive car. The prices will be around $163000 to $336000. It is also said that only 500 LFAs will be manufactured in the next couple of years. These will be made on the demand of the body of the buyer and passenger compartment colour specifications. In Canadian market, five per year (total ten) will be released.
There are no reviews on CO2 emissions yet, but having 4.8 litre V10, powering the car, it would not be an environmental friendly car.
Lexus has also started an online configuration for their up-coming Lexus lfa super car. There are nine different standard exterior colour options. The car lovers and the potential customers can choose one of the six colour brake callipers and three wheel choices. You can also customize the interior.
Thus, LFA is a super car, with light weight and a powerful engine that are made to achieve one single goal: to give its customers a superb driving experience. We would also reccomend the Lexus CT 200h.
