LFA and NSX shoot

Lexus Test Driver
I still never understood why Jay Leno never picked up a Lexus LFA??
He is a car collector and even has a car like Nissan GTR. He recently bought a Maclaren MPC. My guess is, he thought LFA was too close in philosophy to his Porsche Carrera GT.

Hi Ryan, nice to see you here too. I really like the last shoot you did with your car .
The NSX looks way older than the LFA. Like I mentioned before, I only posted the pictures where both card looked good. One day I will own both
Maybe he will pick one up later, it would help if someone could introduce him to the car in person. I'm sure he would fall in love instantly .
Here is a bonus picture for you guys:

I hope you achieve your target.
Looking forward to your next photoshoot. Please do remember to have the Lexus LFA spoiler raised up to make it look "complete".

As a matter of fact, at 176 inches LFA is shorter than even a Toyota Corolla of today and the roofline is almost the same as the NSX.

exclusive matchup
iTrader: (4)
lfa: 177.4 x 74.6 x 48 3263lb
nsx: 174.2 x 71.3 x 46 3153lb
so 20 yrs and lexus only grow the size by 3 inches in length, 3 inches in width (important imho), and 2 inches in height. and also, only 100lb in weight. those are not easy numbers imho!!!!
and i also think the lfa "looks" bigger because of the higher belt line and overall bulky design, which is more like a trend these days

LOL
Believe it or not, Lexus LFA does not have the same length globally. There is a variation in its length depending on the market.
The length varies from 4460 mm (175.5) - 4510 mm (177.4) depending on the market. It has mostly to do with bumper and pedestrian safety regulations.
However, yeah what you said is exactly what I meant. Increase of the width is a very good thing especially for handling. While in other areas, it is mostly an illusion due to the high beltline and very large and wide size wheels.

Yes!
P.S. If you spot another Pearl Blue non-Config III - or heck, just a non-Config III anywhere in the US, period (I think there was one in HK?) - let me know!
It was great to meet up with Brylek; it was fortunate that our schedules managed to work out for a very impromptu meetup. The NSX has always been one of my all-time favorite cars and I had previously considered either picking up a Comptech or buying one and modding it with the Comptech kit, so it was great to finally see one in person and ride in one.
I would love to add an NSX to my car collection at some point. Need to get more garage space first.
I actually really dislike the spoiler up look when the car is parked. It's an active rear wing for a reason.
