It’s quite a big deal to get your allocation of the limited-run Lexus LFA so when Lexus UK received theirs; they celebrated in proper petrolhead style. Most dealers would have given the supercar a good wash and wax before setting up in a showroom for people to drool over but not the Lexus boys in the UK.
They brought it out to the Bruntingthorpe Proving Grounds to stretch its muscles and have a little head-to-head with its smaller sibling, the IS-F. Of course, it would have been sacrilegious to not have a video camera on hand to record the orchestra on hand from the combined total of 18 cylinders at full blast.
We’re pretty sure the V8 from the IS-F makes quite a rumble from its twin-stacked quad-pipe exhaust system but for the love of god, we can’t tell from this video as it’s drowned out by the high-pitched wail of the LFA’s high-revving V10 that sings through its tri-tipped rear.
There’s some testaments from select clients of the LFA’s ferocity and mind-boggling acceleration and just from the tacho alone, we can see for our own. Just to keep in mind, the speed displayed in the opening sequence is in MPH.
