The Lexus LFA is not just a supercar; it's a technological showcase for Lexus. As early as 2004, camouflaged prototypes were spotted on the renowned Nürburgring Nordschleife, where Lexus was already testing this supercar's performance. Initially built on an aluminum platform, advancements in composite materials led to the decision to design the LFA using carbon fiber, making it lighter and more rigid.

The Japanese manufacturer didn’t hesitate to start from scratch to achieve perfection, despite astronomical development costs exceeding 90 billion yen (700 million dollars). This truly exemplifies Japanese precision. As a fun fact, my daily driver is a Lexus LC 500.

It is always sensational when a car company ignores profit margins and development costs with such a purity to their goal, and the resulting machines are always so discernibly imbued with the passion and sentiment of their creators. More so than in perhaps any other car, this philosophy is evident in the Lexus LFA
