Interior - what the hell is going on with that passenger side dash area!

Well, you could get the wife to do the ironing whilst out for a run as a passenger in it.

Pity its costs £320,000 more than the Supra did though ^^

I know, bad times. If they took the design of the LFA and somehow managed to cheapen it without making a 1.4

they probz could make a MK5 Supra

Why can Japanese companies get the interior right?

Johnnytoxic · 8 Sep 2011 at 09:18

chavvy exhaust though.

Well technically it is an MK5 Supra they just gave it a new model name and put it out under the Lexus brand, its still the spiritual successor to the MKIV, and tbh they prob could cheapen it but I guess they have cottoned on to the fact that people will pay Ferrari money for a car that can beat a Ferrari.

IIRC thats 2 exhausts and a screamer (atmospheric turbo wastegate) pipe.

Love the LFA, definite first supercar lottery purchase!

Oh and it's pretty nippy:

Shimmy · 8 Sep 2011 at 10:09

Looks amazing, was this at the Dealer near Stainton?

Pate · 8 Sep 2011 at 10:15

He could have gone faster though.

I love this car. The interior does look a bit odd though.

Firestar_3x · 8 Sep 2011 at 10:44

Technically great, however wouldn't make it into my top 10 super / hypercar much purchase list should i win the lottery.

One of the best top gear reviews IMO

daveydave · 8 Sep 2011 at 10:53

I also sat in one a last year. I met the chaps from Top Gear magazine and they had a LFA and 458 which they happily rev'd the bananas out of. I've got some pics, I'll upload too.

A good friend of mine works at Toyota HQ, so I had a private viewing of that particular car too. It's just an animal. If I had the £350k, it would go on one thing and one thing only...this car!

Sounds like it's had it's nuts removed and wrapped in sushi nori and then served up with a bit of wasabi...

The sound of a wailing N/A V10 is glorious.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out son

Either of the cars in this sound a million times better IMO. Each to their own I guess... Lambo exhaust note makes me moist but the SLR is just biblical.
