Seeing an LFA up close

[Matty322]

so was driving back in Chiba prefecture (again luck probably cos i was wearing a piston heads t shirt)

had to reverse and see this LFA. Forget your GT-Rs, this is my ultimate car

(reading the plate it is Toyota's own one, and kept locally we believe)

my friends son was very excited to see it

Definately a stunning car for sure - the sad thing is most of the rich and well of buy the usual suspects - Lambos and Gold blinged Ferraris. Who ever owns a LFA has definate class.

I saw a blue one at goodwood breakfast up close, was a beauty. Probably someone on here?

Never understood the hype over these. Sure they’re a great engineering achievement, but they just look so bland and odd at some angles.

I heard one at full clatter...one of the greatest engine sounds I have ever heard.

Chav heaven, I would imagine. Well done ...

The LFA is awesome. The one shown has the Nurburgring Edition wheels on too.

its an immense car and would be on my lottery win list.

as i say, the car above in question is toyota's own example, and driven by their team.

been spotted since. (they dont like to rev it, typical japanese politeness)



never seen one on the street other than this.

So original, the wit is astounding.

Eye sight is perfect thanks, my opinion however can differ from yours!

They do look very odd! And their sound does weird things to me.

I was at the Nürburgring a month ago and like many people watched the prototypes and test mules running in the Industry Pool before the track opened.

Inexplicably they were running an LF-A with some rear camouflage. Obviously not a current or future model but most have been testing some components......but it sounded great

[loskie]

is it a "Lexd Up" Celica?

Sounded like an LF-A. Factory car- likely used for some kind of component testing.

I saw my first LFA at Spa last week.

I was actually quite chuffed to tick this off my bucket list.

Tyre testing for the upcoming hypercar I believe

Btw Clarkson reiterated that it’s his favourite car on Drivetribe

I do enjoy a howling screamer!

If you have a spare 45mins - this history of the LFA design & build is well worth a look:
