Lexus LF-A Review 2012

The Lexus 2012 LF-A is a technological advance Japanese car.   The Base MSRP for the car is $375,000, that’s a very expensive Toyota.  If you’re going to pay that much wouldn’t you rather drive a Ferrari?   Toyota are saying that each LF-A they sell, they are loosing money and you are getting a bargain for $375K which uses similar technology as the Ferrari Enzo..

“The LFA’s engine is a V-10 simply because that was the layout of Formula 1 cars when Lexus embarked on the project. Plus, according to chief engineer Tanahashi, “We couldn’t get such high revs from a V-8, and a V-12 is too big and heavy.”  source: Car and Driver
