The Ultimate Lexus LFA
Some call it 'love at first sight'; others say that once you see it, you strive to buy it. Men rate it as their second yet first wife- Lexus LFA (Lexus Future Advance) truly is a dream car!
Lexus engineers have stuck with the L-finesse design philosophy in designing the LFA. The sharp edges, large air scoops and its low slung looks are truly amazing. Toyota setup their own laser monitored circular loom, one of two in the world to produce carbon fiber reinforced polymer which has been used in building the monocoque shell of the body with aluminum front and rear sub frames. The LFA is powered by a V10 4.8 litre, 552 horsepower engine that delivers awesome performance. There are three exhaust pipes fitted in an inverted triangle in the center of the rear of the car. It goes from a standstill to sixty miles an hour in just 3.7 seconds and tops out at 202 miles per hour.
The car has a V10 engine, which enables the car to give a breathtaking performance. The extreme level of power of the engine coupled with the light weight of the LFA makes the vehicle what it is. The acoustic tuning of the LFA has been done such that it delivers a unique and dramatic sound that is inspired by the Formula-1. The excellent driving experience that the car offers comes from many elements.
The LFA engine sounds like the F1 racing cars with a 4.8L V10 engine capacity. It has a dual VVT-i design giving you 8,700 RPM. The engine is constructed using embedded aluminium pistons and titanium rods. The engine facilitates you with 0-62 mph acceleration in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 202mph (325 km/h).
The dynamic capability of the LFA comes from the architecture of the vehicle. The chassis feedback and vital steering that the car is capable of delivering is excellent. The Lexus LFA also provides high-speed stability along with exceptional levels of grip during driving.
The exterior has the kind of design that makes it look athletic and muscular. The design of the LFA builds a certain level of expectation with the driving and the performance of the car lives up to this expectation extraordinarily. There is great heat management system incorporated in the Lexus LFA. There are air ducts present in order to cool the brakes. Hence, this provides the car high sustainable braking power.
The ride is firm and you have to keep your left foot firmly planted on the floor to get used to the throttle response. It takes just 3.7 seconds to touch 60 mph. You can roar around racetracks or zip along motorways as you have four driving modes to select from which are normal, wet, sport and automatic. The car takes corners well and does not have a tendency to under steer. On straight ways you can push it as hard as you dare. Everything is low, central and extremely well balanced, which makes keen driving a pleasure.
The interior of the car is not mentioned in this brief article as it demands pages of description. If you are interested in LFA, take a look online. You will surely be dazzled by the specifications, interior and exterior designs. This is because each and every part of this concept car is a new of its kind; a new revolution in the world of automobiles!
