There's something a bit 'strange about this scene. We're going to drive a daunting 12.9 miles Nürburgring Nordschleife track in Germany. In Lexus. Okay, LFA is exotic, Ferrari supercar to fight, which will cost about $ 350,000. But the company's reputation is based on a smooth drive, refined, and very nervous, calming, so why the LFA there? In what parallel universe is this thing remotely similar to the Lexus?
Lexus says multiple justifications for the LFA program. The car, he said, casts a halo on top of the line Lexus F-performance machines. It is also a Toyota to explore new technologies, especially carbon fiber construction. And since Lexus says it will be selective in which to sell the old cars and high-profile people who use the car park rather than it should increase the LFA-stamped by the mark as a whole.
For all that the marketing happy-talk, is the LFA 2012 a serious outlier in the Lexus line and had a complicated gestation. The program began in 2000, Lexus showed the first concept car at the Auto Show in Detroit in 2005. Then, a convertible version arrived in Detroit in 2008, although it has since been canceled. Meanwhile, the LFA prototypes spotted testing at the Nordschleife, and race cars ready in two more 24-hour race at the Nürburgring in 2008 and 2009. But so far the company has said nothing about the production plans. Lexus is finally ready to admit that only 500 will be made and production began in December 2010.
Even if the car is extremely expensive, Lexus says it loses money for everyone. We believe in it. The last car, which contained the same level of technology, performance, and $ 650.000 is the exclusive Ferrari Enzo. A $ 350.000, the LFA will show something to the deal. The LFA is an exotic two-seater, front engine, rear-wheel-drive coupe. Chassis and body is made mostly of carbon fiber composite, like all the Enzo or the Mercedes SLR McLaren. Fri stairs Lexus, the car weighs 3,263 pounds, less than the Corvette ZR1.
The engine is a 4.8-liter V-10 Yamaha developed together. It is a compact unit that makes 553 horsepower at 8700 rpm and 9000 rpm speed is reckless. The maximum torque of 354 pound-feet peak of 6800 rpm, 90 percent of available between 3700 and 9000 rpm.
The rear, six-speed automatic includes a manual bridge Torsen limited-slip differential. Include the front suspension control arms with an agreement on the rear multilink. To maintain weight, and suspension parts KYB monotube shocks are aluminum remote reservoir.
The configuration of carbon-ceramic brakes Brembo disc consists of 15.4 inches in diameter and six-piston monobloc calipers up front, 14.2-inch discs and four-piston calipers in the rear. Aluminum wheels 20-inch forged BBS sit inside in front and 305/30 rear 265/35 tires Bridgestone Potenza pieces. There are four driving modes: automatic, normal, wet, and sports, the driver can also select the speed, manual clutch. In Sport mode, stability control system allows a greater amount of yaw, but the system can be turned off completely.
When it comes to style, there is a certain Japanese aesthetic, with all those sharp edges and flat black vents. But this is not a head like Enzo Turner or a Lamborghini Gallardo. We certainly would not book a matte black and one of 30 colors, because it looks like someone forgot to paint properly.
But behind the task of forming a small and quiet. According to the chief engineer Haruhiko Tanahashi, one advantage of using carbon fiber for the body is that it is possible to make very sharp edges and thresholds that enhance aerodynamic performance. The LFA has a reasonably low drag coefficient (0.31), and Tanahashi, said the car generates more downforce than any of its competitors. Even the inner edges of the mirrors are shaped to guide the air intakes on the rear bumper that feed radiators in the rear. A large wing at the rear incorporates a Gurney flap occurs at speeds above 50 mph.
The interior is modest but tasteful. The car we drove had a mixture of leather, carbon fiber, Alcantara, and "satin-metal" adorn the cockpit. Lexus will offer seat covers in 12 shades of leather, or 10 alternating tones of Alcantara, with three color choices for the pavilion Alcantara. "Spacious" describes the cabin, although luggage space is minimal. supportive bucket seats have power adjustments to eight lanes, and the driving position is superb. The under- control are as easy to find and use as a standard in the Lexus sedan, and LFA even the same style of mouse operation for its multi-functional center console screen as in a sport-ute RX350.
