Default Jay Leno Drives the Lexus LFA Spyder

Jay Leno has visited the LFA Works production facility in Japan and had a chance to drive the world’s only LFA Spyder (!!!):


By the end of the video, it’s clear Leno’s opinion of the Lexus supercar has changed significantly — I’m pretty sure that 187mph in an open-top one-of-a-kind LFA would do that to anyone.

(The thing I’ll take away from this video, though — a Buddhist monk ordered a Matte Black LFA, which will be his only worldly possession. Mind. Blown.)

"...there are other Supercars with more Horsepower...but not as refined as this...it's just so smooth..."

if other Supercars were built by the Elite Takami, they may be just as refined and smooth.

oh, and I'm so Jelly. lol

Hahaha... yet some more fine praise for the LFA. Lexus has big shoes to fill if they are ever to build a successor to this car. And I'm sure they can deliver.

He is saying that if you drive a lot of super cars you can begin to tell the differences. For example the difference between faux wine and fine wine.

i just found it amusing and unusual how he said it.

faux pas is "foe paw". You don't hear it as "fox pass"

He said "box" wine, not "fox (faux)".
