Essential next step is to give a super sports car, that driving would be created. To achieve this goal without compromise Tanahashi and his team created from scratch on new LFA – a true clean-sheet design. And in a radical departure from the norm Lexus development practice, they are pushing the problem of non-traditional angle, its technological, physical and technical limits at each step.
The result is the problem of rear-wheel drive, a dynamically styled supercar is a modern, new high-revving 4.8-liter V10 engine 552 hp (412kW/560DIN hp) and 354 lb-ft 480nm () generates the torque for the adrenaline- 202 hours powered fed miles (325 kmh) performance.
