Default Lexus lfa #26

I am taking reasonable photo requests for my LFA. I own #26, first delivered to the Midwest. It is black exterior, black interior.

All photo requests are posted to my Instagram account: @BrianBrundage

There are already a couple up there.

Let me know if you have a specific shot you would like of the LFA.

Are you the one who was featured on the Chicago news???

Welcome! Glad to have another LFA owner here. There are a few other one's who chime in from time to time.

I would request a 3 quarter rear pose with the spoiler deployed with the front wheels turned taken from a kneeling angle.

How about you write a detailed review first highlighting your impressions on each one of these. I am sure people would love to hear your experience and feedback on how your LFA does on each one of these aspects:

1 - Quality, fit, finish, luxury
2 - Daily and city driving
3 - Transmission (fastest S7 shift, normal and auto mode etc.)
4 - Engine, response, sound and power
5 - Handling, stability and dynamics
6 - Overall experience and why you picked LFA

The Chicago news did interview me at the dealership when I picked up the LFA.

I posted a similar pic on instagram (username: @brianbrundage) - I will get another with the spoiler deployed.

1. Top Notch - better than Ferrari's and Lambo's.
2. Comfortable either way - car does not beat you up at all.
3. I like to be in Sport and turn the tuning up 100% - she really rolls out. Just wants to go.
4. Spot on - drives like an F1 race car (sounds like one as well) it is very powerful. I have a Porsche that does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds, the Lexus feels faster.
5. Awesome. I have never been in a car that handles so well over 150. Stays on the road, you can maneuver just fine and she still wants to go.
6. Awesome. Just fell in love with the promo video, thought it would be cool to own a car with only 150 made for the US. (The new US total is 170). Thought it might actually be the first car I have ever owned that might hold its value.

I have posted some pretty cool pics lately - check those out.

Very nice cars, thanks for the pics. Do people follow your LFA to take picture/video, or just to see where you live?

So I take you own a Porsche Turbo/Turbo S with PDK??

If so, how do you compare the PDK transmission in your Porsche with LFA's single-clutch transmission in the most aggressive S7 shift mode?? Both from a visceral feel and performance stand point??

I do get a fair amount of pictures taken while I'm driving or while it is parked. Its such a unique ride that people just naturally want to know more about it.

It is quite the head turner. The engine sound alone gets a lot of people asking what the car is. Very unique car that I am very impressed with every time I take it out.
