Lexus LFA production ends

LFA will remain a true dream car IMO, there's nothing else like it. Okay, there are faster cars, but what else does what the LFA does in terms of noise, looks, exclusivity and technology?!

Also, lack of appreciation videos = disturbing,
 
That engine is worth the price tag alone. These are once in a lifetime halo cars for manufacturers, you won't see another one again from Lexus or any other Japanese brand, hence why it cost so much and took time to develop.

Genuinely the first supercar that has stirred my soul since the McLaren F1 and more earlier, the Honda NSX.

You would never put the GTR and the LFA in the same shortlist.

They are more reasons to wanting an LFA than just pure speed.

The GTR smokes a lot of things with a higher price tag but speed itself is not always the seller of supercars.

The only cars faster than the LFA round the ring are purpose built track cars. The LFA on the other hand is full of kit. If I could choose any super car but had to be new I would have a LFA. The noise it makes is also immense and I love the Japanese styling.
 
Im gunna read up about them later.. See what fuss is about, only breifly looked into one when they went on sale.

They actually have pipes connecting the intake chamber to the back of the dash - so the engine noise is piped into the cabin :D

Surge Tank

An essential component responsible for generating the engine’s tone, the surge tank, has been carefully tuned to achieve optimal acoustics. Borrowing from the design of an actual musical instrument, the sides have been made rigid and horizontal ribs have been added at the forward half to obtain a more powerful induction sound.

After combustion, exhaust exits the engine’s left and right banks through separate equal-length, large diameter exhaust manifolds that not only enhance torque levels, but also create a crisp sound quality. After passing through the catalytic converters, the dual exhausts flow through twin sub-mufflers and then meet at the rear of the vehicle in a multi-stage titanium silencer positioned behind the rear-mounted gearbox.

The titanium rear silencer incorporates a valve-actuated structure that channels exhaust flow according to engine speed. At 3,000r.p.m. and below, the valve remains closed to route exhaust through multiple chambers, ensuring the exhaust note remains civilized. Above 3,000r.p.m, the valve opens to allow exhaust to pass through a single chamber and enter the world in the form of a hi-octave soprano.

The engine’s induction and exhaust sounds are carefully channeled into the LFA’s cabin. The main channel runs from the surge tank into the cabin below the main dash panel. This is complemented by two further channels-- one at the upper cowl opening and other at the lower reflector. These sound channels ensure the driver sits at the center of a 3-D surround sound concert of engine performance.

They did go to some lengths to make it sound awesome!
 
Why did my post get deleted?

It only quoted Naith saying it was a had a traditional torque converter auto.

I then said it actually has a single clutch sequential.
