car does not have an original identiy like the GTR.

front looks like GTR, rear looks like audi R8. esp the tail lights area.

At 3,263 lbs, the LFA is smack dab in the middle of what's considered respectable heft in today's mainstream supercars. Mated to a V10 with a 9000 RPM redline and 560 HP, 354 lb-ft of torque and an already demonstrated F1-like engine note, it'll no-doubt be an absolute riot to drive, assuming you're one of the 500 lucky few to snap one up. At 3.7 seconds 0-63 MPH, you might be able to outrun the car's gravitational pull of awesome.

Steering wheel looks like one of those chiong momo/sparco ones.
Found on your EG6/EG9s

looks too drama.
will look cheap/out of place in a few years

Re: Lexus LF-A unveiling as we speak (post)

the speedometer user interface definitely a win. usability wise, will see. for super car i think the lines of the car are too conservative. not masculine. very IS-ish. must be the top manager uncle decide on the final design. overall i still like cos it very jiponish.

all the HP and torque are at very high range, dun think its realistic that you will hit them on day to day driving

Re: Lexus LF-A unveiling as we speak (post)

dun think you need full power and torque on day to day driving too

Was just gonna say that too.

its characteristics r very similiar to lexus ISF. max power all at redline. thing is u may get very mediocre/ lack lustre power (supercar standards) from low to mid rev range and have to tua all the way to 9000 rpm to feel its wrath. not many roads will allow this opportunity.
