Default Justin Bell Gives the Lexus LFA the Track Time it Deserves



I doubt you need to be reminded of the Lexus LFA's illustriousness, but I highly recommend the reminder Justin Bell gives you in the video below.

Satisfying his good deed for the holiday season, Bell emancipates the LFA from the Toyota Museum, and takes the halo car to Willow Springs where it gets the neck-wringing it craves.

Unveiled in 2009, and now out of [...]

Nice. Crazy how it set the market and forums a blaze when it came out. Now nobody really talks about the LFA anymore. Still one of the best cars to come from over seas

We'll things like the Mustang, C7, RC and Detoit Bound Supra Concept are the new "IN"

I actually thought of the LFA last night and how it is such a marvel in both drive and existence. Instant classic

I have still never heard another car that sounded like it. I would buy just for the noise it makes . What inspires about the LFA is the passion that went into it and the amazing tech. 10 year development is no joke

Started and stopped multiple times. If it were any other company, the project probably wouldn't have ever come to fruition had it not been for the passion drove its creation

Interesting video.

Others who are more familiar with the car can correct me if I'm wrong but, I feel like he was short-shifting almost every gear change in the video.

Maybe he was doing this because he was talking and driving at the same time but, I thought the LFA had a much more distinctive howl when run all the way up to the redline.
