I was looking around to find the LFA segment in nothing less than high definition and at last found it for you guys

Here. Enjoy!!

p.s. Tanner's Infineon lap is near the end.

Is was the white one... BBC i guess... Towards the end the driver just laughed and said " at the end of the day its still a Lexus"... What do you mean its just a Lexus? So I said to myself "what, Lexus isn't capable of being a Sports car? Just because it doesn't say Ferrari that doesn't mean its not still a exotic. Shame on them!!!

Yeah, that is the old British Top Gear episode. It was aired back in January 2010.

In Top Gear's defense, Top Gear did put LFA in the "5 greatest supercars of 2010" and also called it "Stig's most favorite car".

The driver looked very much indeed happy while driving the LFA... Looks like a very fun car... Plus the sound is amazing..

No one on the BBC Top Gear likes Lexus so I expected they wouldn't like the LFA the first time I watched that video. I mean just look at how many Lexus's they have reviewed over 20 years. You can count them all on one hand. I do like watching them but they are very biased on which cars they like.

LFA is a completely different beast. It impossible for any true car enthusiast to not love and not get excited about this car.
