By now you've probably already read our first drive of the 2011 Lexus LFA. It's the Lexus supercar that has finally appeared in the flesh after years of forced hibernation by one Toyota executive after another.
It's quite the impressive piece, and most of those in attendance at today's official unveiling at the 2009 Tokyo Auto Show seemed impressed. Good thing, too, as the new head of Toyota, Akio Toyoda, said during the Toyota press conference that he feels sad about the fact that the company no longer makes exciting cars like the Supra. Yes, he really said he feels sad.

Third gear and the throttle pedal is nailed to the 2011 Lexus LFA's carbon-fiber bulkhead. The 4.8-liter V10 is rotating 8,000 times per minute and still you don't have to change gear as the 552 horses from Japan are pulling in unison. Now 9,000 rpm and the pistons are traveling at 82 feet per second, so flick the right-side shift paddle and feel the jolt as the automated manual transmission's solitary clutch completes the gearchange.

"No! You did it again. Never let the car roll." That's what Mike den Tandt, my 20-something German instrukteur, said as we caught the tail of the 2010 Porsche 911 turbo with much more than a dab of opposite lock.

We've driven, drooled over and praised the 2010 Porsche Panamera before. Back in June, Senior Road Test Editor Josh Jacquot twisted the speedometer needle clean off a shiny, new 2010 Panamera turbo, pounding down the German autobahn at over 100 mph with a sleeping passenger, a belly full of sauerbraten and a severe case of jet lag.

Lexus LFA: a symphony of sound (SkiddPlayer TV)

Most of us will never get the chance to drive the LFA (although Top Gear's Stig took it around the Dunsfold test track yesterday), but after Lexus uploaded a few sound clips to their microsite (http://www.lexus-lfa.com/) we felt compelled to bring them all together into a single 75 second symphony.
We think that it sounds a lot like a Carrera GT, and whatever you think of the LFA, you surely can't deny that it sounds pretty special...

Lexus LFA review - Auto Express
Full review: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/firstdrives/243709/lexus_lfa.html
We take the £340,000 Lexus LFA V10 supercar to the English countryside.
We wanted to see how refined the highly anticipated Lexus LFA supercar really is, after all it is a Lexus. In our video we visit the English countryside in the V10 engined LFA to find out how it copes with life on UK roads.

Enjoy & Comment!
We've been spying the 2011 Lexus LFA, off and on, for over a year. We've seen it testing all over Europe. It's even contested the 24 Hours of Nurburgring in race car form--twice. But today the car was revealed during a brief test drive in Miami just before its official unveiling, due this week at the Tokyo Motor Show.
The car has been in development for the past nine years, during which time a total of three different concepts have been revealed. Output will come from a 4.8-liter 72-degree V-10 engine and peaks at 560-horsepower at a lofty 8,700 rpm and 354-pound-feet of torque at 6,800 rpm. Best of all, the cars sonorous V-10 will happily spin all the way to a 9,000 rpm redline.
To achieve this level of performance, engineers have beefed up the engine with titanium valves and connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons, a dry sump lubrication system and a titanium Exhaust manifold.
Intensive weight-saving techniques have also been employed, including the use of lightweight carbon-fiber for 65% of the cars body.
Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox and a Torsen limited slip differential. Performance should be scintillating, expect 0 to 60 mph times of around 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 201.94 mph.
The end result is an almost perfect 48/52 front-to-rear weight distribution and a final kerb weight of 3,263 pounds, equivalent to a power-to-weight ratio of 5.8 pounds/horsepower.
Other details include six-piston brake calipers with carbon-ceramic discs, titanium mufflers, and 20-inch BBS wheels shod with ZR20 Bridgestone tires--all fitted as standard.
Limited production is the name of the game, with only 500 units planned unless demand proves high enough to support more, though it will cost more than $200,000. Worse still, only 350 of them will be made in left-hand-drive for worldwide consumption. Though this may seem low, remember that a roadster and hybrid variant are also in the works.
