Being in F1 does not make a good street car. I would prefer someone like Porsche who are big in Le Mans racing of production style cars.

Although most major changes to cars in the last 50 years have come from F1 - Seatbelts, Traction control, stability control, flappy paddle gearboxes, Turbo's etc

First turbocharged car - 1962 Oldsmobile F-85 Turbo Jetfire

First traction control - 1985 Volvo 760

First car to come standard with safety belts - 1958 Saab GT 750

And that's where I got bored of looking stuff up.

It looks supercar from the rear, sports car from the front and omg JZA80 from the side.

The interior is exactly what Id expect from Lexus. Entering new territory, not been there before, but making it their own. Just like when they first entered the market, but with a bit less *copying* (there I said it). The specs are wicked, a real supercar engine in terms of poweband. Low maximum torque but who cares when you can rev like that..480nm rally is little compared to even...an XR6 Fpv or whatever, the turbo thingy with 550nm.

Im happy it weighs less than 1500kg. It looks comparable in *looks*deign/coutoure whatever you want to call it to an Aston Martin, 911, and Audi.

Doesnt quite have the Fazza or 'Ghini presence. Yet.

Dibs on front cut when soemone stacks it.

I thought I'd post some LFA pics.
I finally got around to shrinking down the photos.

I think you'll find it's pearl which looks amazing in the raw but pictures will never do it justice.

Lexus paintjobs are top notch.

Its still white, white is the most boring colour ever. Makes sense on a fleet vehicle, but not on a hypercar.

Each to his own I guess. I'll re-evaluate and go and stare at my fridge and washing machine with lust now.
