This is what happens when a company like Toyota gives its engineers some play time.
lol
Toyota refused to allow there engineers to make another sports car for a long time. They wanted to have them focus on being successful in formula one before they would reenter that market. But that just wasn't going to happen
+lokken23 actually a Toyota engineer himself said it is a jerk car of engineers.
+lokken23 yeah, because americans are TRYING to make a proper car more than a 100 years xD
yeah... like almost ten years.. :D
It’s been 10 years and this is still the best sounding engine+exhaust tune! Carrera GT is a close 2nd.
@infoslinger I'm sorry, loud does not mean it is the best sounding. If it's just volume, then I'd say any nitro fueled dragster with 20k hp will do. The LFA is musical at its loudest. Sweet and enticing you .
THIS is the best sounding engine. kzhead.info/sun/mb6GgKh7hauHq30/bejne.html
Pagani Zonda F is the 1st men
This is what happens when you get Yamaha to tune your exhaust.
I have to say, the new C8 Z06 sounds absolutely amazing. It’s been a while since I heard the LFA in Nurburgring, so it’s hard to tell. Need to do a side by side comparison.
10 year's later, still the best sounding sound from a stock car in the world.
The Gordon Murray T50's V12 sound is getting close to the LFA, but I think I still prefer the V10.

It wouldn't surprise me if that's what those initials actually mean.
Its funny to see these comments. Anyone who really doesn't give an inkling about engineering will NEVER understand why this car is special. This is the definition of an engineering exercise. On top of which it hits all the right marks to maintain exclusivity allowing the car to appreciate over time. This is a technological marvel. If anyone actually spends time at the race track trying to tune their car and understand what makes you go faster this car will be a huge point of interest.
Show of hands ,, How many car manufacturers bought their OWN CARBON LOOM to make their carbon fiber...Only Toyota. Because they can.
Rob Lucchetti I think they made it or invented it.
IMO, same difference. No other auto manufacturer has done that and most cannot. Even companies like Porsche and Ferrari must depend on 3rd party carbon manufacturers like Toriyama. Toyota has enormous resources to be able to do just about anything, and this car proves that. This will always be a very special car for that and many other reasons.
vidurc This thing is almost Veyron-level engineering. Truly incredible.
Rob Lucchetti pretty sure koenigsegg does as well
Used the Toyota f1 motor manufacturing plant to make these motors. This is true f1 technology for the street. This is one of the most complete cars ever made
It was a collaboration with Yamaha who developed the engine for Toyota.
@@ReferenceFidelityComponentsyamaha doesnt make the engine kid, they helped to make the car sounds damn good. but the engine still came from toyota factory
@@erics7219 Yamaha co-developed the whole engine with Toyota, did I say "made the engine"? No. Read my comment again. The gearbox was specially developed by the Aisin Corporation in Japan. Oh...and you're not talking to a "kid" 😉
@@ReferenceFidelityComponents I think the block is fully Toyota. Yamaha's collaboration is mostly with the cylinder heads and this case the system exhaust like it was mentioned in this video.
@@SWOgottaGO Yes, the whole engine was manufactured at Toyota at their Motomachi Plant in Aichi. The development was definitely, as stated, a collaboration with Yamaha brought in to jointly develop the engine and gearbox. What few people talk about is the more remarkable achievement by Lexus engineers who developed and all new form of carbon reinforced plastic, designing and making their own weaving loom, eventually used to manufacture the body. Their commitment to excellence on thsi project shows, and it was fantastic to see little nods on design and sculpture from the LFA project find their way into the stunning LC500 cars, which for us mere mortals, are actually attainable, at least on the used market.
10 years later and this car has appreciated very nice…. Still the arguably the greatest sounding car of all time.
It's funny to watch the original Top Gear where they joke about the cost. And now they are three times as expensive.
Jay does his research. Often times, he knows more about the car and brand than the spokesperson haha.
A true professional.

That wasn't a spokeperson from Toyota/Lexus, it's an editor from the Road & Track magazine.
123 456 Ya, and then other times he can't remember that he asked the owner the fuel tank capacity 5 minutes earlier and is asking again.
This is a scripted show with writers and researchers that do all the work, give Jay the info, and he presents that info. Jay vey well likely only knows about 10-20% of presented facts, if its a car he personally likes but does not own. Cars he does own that come on the show are different. Come on people, Jay is an actor and tv host first.
As much as I'd like to cruise the streets with a 1000hp monster STi, you've just got to appreciate and drool over the amount of work, thought and engineering that went into a masterpiece like this. It's literally a work of art. The body lines, the sound it all tells a story...and that story is built for speed. It's just(excuse my language) fuckin' amazing. Everything about the thing reeks of intelligent engineering. Just beautiful.
+losi8ightyew A thousand horsepower STI, if you could even attain that number could go maybe 5 to 10 thousand miles between engine rebuilds. 1000 is a monsterous number for an EJ.
+headless13 Your stuck in 2000 man. You'd be suprised what an EJ is capable of nowadays. 1000 is EASILY obtainable now. Will it be cheap? No. Horsepower never is. Check out (TRP) if you wanna understand more of what an EJ can do. The hardest thing for an EJ is tuning it and making the tune consistent thru cold starts up till running temps. That's where ringland failures, pre dets etc came from. Alas, they're pretty much nonexistent in a knowledgable build and nowadays technology. Once again everything comes down to if it's done right and correctly the first time.

Most people will just think a 1000hp STI is annoying and should get out of the way. The LFA is a unicorn and attracts the most attention because most people have never seen one in person before.
Lol sti trashh
The sound is amazing. Great car.
A sound inspired by the F1 cars obviously
@@Pirustae and?
If you take an elite Swiss watch and turn it into a car.
The sound recording is poorly done
I wish Toyata had taken it's design cues from this car for the new Supra.
Amen
If only LFA was a supra whole world would love it
Or just made it look more like the FT1 concept
But then it wouldn't be a Supra... It would be a baby LFA... The modeled the new Supra after the Supra, which they should have... They just slightly missed the mark
New BMW*
To set you people straight, here are some facts as to why the LFA has a ludicrous price tag: 1) Toyota definitely took their time in developing the car. Almost a decade. First 5 years, they designed it with aluminum in mind. But they noticed that aluminum was too heavy, so they scrapped that and started again with carbon fiber. As we all know, carbon fiber is an incredibly expensive material to be used in just about anything, especially on cars. 2) One of the LFA's main features is the engine, which is a very powerful V10, but it's smaller than a V8 and lighter than a V6. That's because the facilities and equipment used to build the LFA's engines, are the same facilities and equipment Toyota had used to build engines for their Formula 1 cars. That's why they were able to make a very compact but very powerful engine. In short, the LFA incorporates some F1 technology in itself. And yet, despite the price, Toyota does not earn a single penny after selling all of their 500 LFAs. Crazy.
I agree..... This is one of the few cars that I truly believe is worth every penny. These cars have become investments to top it all off. Average asking price today is around 450 to 500k. Its appreciated about 100k in 7 years. You rarely ever see that in exotics unless there is a good reason
ZeroStriker426 If you said the same exact thing about a car that came from GM it would all somehow be a bad thing.
A respectable brand.

Best Japanese super car ever to come out of Japan. This car is aging so gracefully, it looks better today than it did at its release and the world is finally taking note as seen with market value. Over 10years of development and complete attention to detail with absolutely no expense spared.

Very grateful to be living during this glorious age of the super sport car.

Thank you KZhead for recommending this after 9 years.
Well it’s December 2019 and the LFA still goes for around $400k and ones with the Nurburgring package have sold for as much as $700k. Anyone who spent the extra 70 grand can get a nice return on their investment if they ever plan to sell it.
Autum 21, LFA are actually between 600.000€ to 1.000.000€ priced and the Nürburgrin edition at 1.000.000+€ priced......if you are able to find one for sale. I think in the next 4-5 years the price will sky rocket like the Mclaren F1
@@Zero.X Yeah it’s really crazy what can happen in a year. Throughout most of 2020 the base models were still selling at around $400k for even low mileage cars and now the cheapest sale I could find in 2021 (at least in the US) was $579,000. I don’t think it’ll be as huge as the F1, but I agree the price still probably has a lot further to climb. In a few years we’ll be talking about when you could get an LFA for “only” 800 grand
This sounds a 1000 times better than 2014 F1 cars.
I like how Jay actually respected the car being supercar that comes Japan !! thats positive attitude
Dreams are big but there are a few exceptions!!!
If Batman had a daily driver this would be it! lol And if I had that kind of money, I would get this LFA in a heartbeat!

There are still 13 LFA's unsold. You can legit buy a new one from the showroom, now! If you had the money, that is.
2018 almost 2019 and this car's interior and exterior design, overall styling is still exclusive and futuristic.
This car looks like a black Toyota Supra married a Super Model and had a taller more athletic son.
ILikeExoticStuff hmmmm, u may be on to something lol......
A car married a woman and she gave birth to the LFA? What lol
Thx for sharing
poetry in words brother
Aaron Jackier it makes perfect sense OK
I just realized this is my favorite car of all time.
I'll keep it short and sweet for those going on about something they'll never be able to afford. The LFA today is still worth close to 400K. The cheapest I saw on Autotrader is 349K by a private seller and most go for 398K some over 400K. Good luck with that kind of resale value on your 5 years old Dodge Hellcat.
They built 500 of them and nothing remotely close since. If they built another supercar in high volume with same engine those values wouldve been considerably lower. Compare it more to like viper acr. Those hold quite nicely.
I Finn I actually just seen one for sale for $800k in California.
If the mileage is low below than 50000kms it's over 400k dollars damn
800k and around 1m for nurturing editions
You're not the best at comparisons.
The sound of the V10 is awesome.
Without a doubt the best sounding car in the world
Check out the Top Gear review of the Porsche Carrera GT.
That sound ! Best in world
this is by far my favorite super car! everything about it is absolutely stunning
The carbon fiber hood prop "stick" is absolutely obscene. I love it! The fact that someone at a large manufacturer like Toyota signed off on that absolutely amazes me!
Tom J well it does cost almost 400K so.....
God, this car looks amazing on the road in black like this! Just a fine timeless machine. Beautiful car
I am an engineer, so it's no surprise that the LFA is my favorite supercar. All the little details Toyota put into it amuse me to no end, and its engine noise is pure sex!
Its because of you Engineers that the car failed.
@@josephm.crancebbapm4904 Did it fail? Toyota was only going to make 500. How is making 500 a failure? Yes they didn't make money off them as far as profits are concerned but if you look at the newest vet it up the game for sevral manufacturers. Limited production.
One of the greatest super cars of all time. And criminally underrated. Its almost perfect. Timeless design. Interior is magnificent. That V-10 set up is incredible and suits the car perfectly. Love the 3 pipe exhaust system. And that sound... i guarantee it never gets old
What a beauty. The engineers who made this really did something special here. This example of the LFA is particularly stunning.
At the end of the day Clarkson that the Lexus LFA Is the best car he's had ever driven enough said
Ian Townsend enough said ....by the god of “poweeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr!!!!!” 😏🇨🇺🇺🇸
Clarkson has said that about a few cars. You should always take what he says with a grain of salt. I love Clarkson (and Hammond and May for that matter) but the guy can make very little sense. Take for example what he says about Alfas - that every real petrol head should, at some time in their life, own one, but then on the other hand they're an absolute nightmare because of horrible reliability and impracticality. When it comes to cars, Clarkson is 99.9% emotion and how the car makes him feel.
@@bghoody5665 "Emotion" & "how it makes you feel" is the only logical reasoning to purchasing a vehicle that has 6+ digits in it's price tag.
@@kevins5911 I agree, even with lower or second hand prices. I had an old Volvo, every time I get in I smiled, but too old for a daily driver for me. Bought a newer one with 5 cilinder engine. The sound of that makes up for the fuel consumption... A car need something to make you happy for a petrolhead. If it doesn't, fine, A-to-B and cheap is fine too...

Def appreciate how engaged the Lexus Rep was, in the conversation through this vid.
Somehow I just enjoy Jay's episodes about classics more than most of the new stuff or concepts. Not always but often. seems I enjoy every classic one.
You need to understand that this car was meant to set a new technological bench mark this was purely an exercise in technology to show what the brand is capable of and what their engineers are capable of it was never meant to compete with a Ferrari or maclaren that was never the brief it was purely to beat every one in the technology race which I believe they have with this car......now they have to get that tech in there mass produced road cars that's when joe public will feel the benefits from this car
As for price. As far as I know no one has had a gun put to their head and been marched to the dealer and forced to buy this car if you like it and can afford it why not ?
4.8L V10 putting out 500+hp with 9000rpm potential ? Nothing "technological" there, i don't think. Honda got 240hp with a high revving 2.0 4cyl about a decade ago, almost. The V10 is amazing but with 10 cylinders this is expected.
+dex b Over a decade ago. S2000 came out in 1999 I believe. Broke the record for HP per liter. 9000rpm limit, 240hp, 2.0L amazing engine.

This is on my bucket list. This car is phenomenal. I've only seen one in my life, thx to the local Lexus dealer she bought one when it came out, her bf used to drive it around town, but she's sold her dealership so it's gone. This car is awesome. Nice of them to bring it by so Jay could evaluate it.
Beautiful car, I love when manufacturers make something with soul! I saw one of these locally at a movie theater parking lot... so nice!
Definitely like the sound. Usually I don't really see the big deal with engine notes, but the LFA's sounds impressive even to me.

Just in case anyone is interested in this, most wealthy collectors are self-insured. Depends on the state, but usually you put a sum of money into a trust, and it's bonded as insurance. Technically there's no premium, it's just a set amount of money allocated to potential losses.

@@c.j.1089 Thanks for the info !
when talking about Japanese car heritage you can"t forget about the Nissan Skyline, 40+ years of racing heritage.
Thank you for saying that, I'm not sure how Jay missed saying that!
Biggggg GTR/Skyline fan
Um they don't have 40 years of racing heritage =P he doesn't mention it because it doesn't exist. The original prince skylines were made by a company that fell apart and sold themselves to Datsun. Later Niss/Datsun eventually got to the r32 (Of course the last generation Ferrari crew working for them at this time probly had nothing to do with this =P ) which in japanTC racing was legendary but elsewhere its unique way of building a car landed it in a class that wasn't exactly fair (like racing a stock prius Vs a Ferrari.) AusTC after two years placed it in a class with cars of comparable power and weight. Once it was placed with cars that had a comparable specs it never placed higher then 4th. After the R33 and R34 never did well in their classes due to becoming extremely overweight with their new AWD system. All that aside............. The modern day GTR is indeed a great piece of engineering however the question still remains who the hell built it? Originally they said American Nissan designers designed the 3/4 of the body work, and their euro designers did the roofline while they made the premier new chassis based on the old 2001 skyline model. Later it was revealed that Lotus was employed and designed the chassis because the Japanese couldn't get the results or the weight they wanted............. In result Nissan tweaks out and twin turbo's a v6 and that's about as far as their racing heritage goes (and that's all you get from them when you buy a modern GTR =P.)
A lot of people would disagree with you. It doesn't matter who built what part or where, the fact of the matter is they raced under Datsan/Nissan, and does anybody really make thier own cars anymore?
Its not deniable that they have done good things. However the companies that did them no longer exist, leaving no heritage within there new cars. However the LFA is groundbreaking for there country because the technology within it is now patented and other companies are paying to use it. Many people shrug this off but many people forget that All the money porsche makes, over 40% comes from patented technology.
Wow! I am speechless.
This is my all-time favorite.
There are so many people complaining about the price and comparing it to cheaper more powerful cars, and all of them are missing the point. The LFA is a supercar and as such it needs to be exclusive (Check), be recognizable both visually and audibly (Check), have high quality (Check) and have good performance (Check) in that order. These cars aren't built to race, they are a status symbol and it isn't unusual for owners of this kind of car to put them on display.
Well said
one of the best sounding cars!
My favorite car in history. Love the sound. Love.....
Yamaha designed the engine for this car. Amazing that a motorcycle manufacturer in their first attempt create a gem of a engine like this. Imagine the potential they have if they decide to make cars.

Like Jay Leno discussing this. I feel he's the only person that can do so realistically and professionally.
Beautiful car.
the reason for the LFA high price is the limited production number. your average corolla need around hundred of millions in production cost,for testing,engineering etc. thus this car is actually a bargain
By any chance do you know why the limited the production number?
to be honest i have no idea, I'm guessing they lose money for every car they build, and for novelty
true that.but all cars were sold in the two years of production. and they intended to make 500 from the very beginning
Hadie Kumastar exclusivity, rich people want to know that not everybody an have one, because only 500 are made.
leolol Exactly, Toyota is just trying to show that they have great engineers and designers that can build a car that can run with the best of the best. For the same reason Ferrari only built 400 Enzo's. Exclusivity, counts and draws attention.
Thanks Patrick & Jay.

These comments are so retarded it hurts my head. When the hell are you ever going to go head to head with a gtr and lfa everyday? You buy this for the reason it is the perfect road car. I can spank a P1 or laferrari with a 1300 hp supra... Please learn at least one core thing about cars before commenting. Thanks
Dude comment back to me when you are at least 18 years old please. 0-60 times... Really? You realize those numbers are just a generic way to market a new sports car coming out. It is meaningless. What, do you go to a track or street and constantly go 0-60-0-60 all day long? In a straight line, with a $100,000 investment on a built supra, it will destroy a P1. That's just a fact. I would much rather take the P1 any and every day and it is a million times better in every other way. But since you insist on proving your point with irrelevant factors that determine a car's overall performance, I can safely say that a built supra, or even gtr would beat a p1 in a straight line. Even to top speed.
