I can assure you it’s not but funnily enough Gran Turismo are there today and they are lazering my Lamborghini tractor for their next game. It’s a hidden bonus track or something, I don’t know I don’t play computer games. Franco messaged me this morning to update me about my LFA and the tractor.

I should have added 'in a good way'! Just amazing cars; hope you really enjoy it. Try to do a 1st gear drive past in Marlow high street if you are down this way.

Unfortunately it’s being trailered ‘up north’ next week but I’m at Fiorano for a week so won’t see it now for at least 2 weeks. It’ll always stay up here I’m afraid.

Shame, it'd make a nice change to all the Ferraris, Lambos and Astons. There are better roads up there though.

Amazing cars these and one of the all time great engines

Supposedly the best kept secret in the Supercar world, the Lexus LF-A, I will be straight out to purchase one as soon as all of my hard work comes to fruition.

Perfect balance, truly exceptional engine and out of this world acoustics from the exhaust.

Please continue to share your ownership experience. I understand only 3 were ever purchased through Lexus UK, so this will be the fourth.

[Andy665]

Only 27 were ever sold in Europe - all had to be purchased from Lexus on Park Lane (now gone).

Had the privilege of driving Lexus Europes LFA many times on their track in Belgium, Estoril and Ascari - absolutely stunning car and drives like a go kart

[LarJammer]

This is the car the new NSX should have been, fab car.

[Podie]

Saw (heard!) one of these at VMAX years ago.

Wibble.

Will be really interested to hear about the reality of the ownership experience.

Awesome!

Don't these have insane upkeep costs?!

Absolutely.

It was discussed a few years back. The catalogue link doesn't work anymore but a few posters referenced various costs from it, in this thread.

They're a bit slow, but the engine howl is beautiful. As above, the spiritual successor to the old NSX. Great purchase.

Slow? Unless you drive a V8 Atom to Tesco, I highly doubt that.

Cant wait for some noise clips! Please post up ASAP!

This is one of the best things to appear in Readers cars in a long time, up there with the M600 thread.

Amazing and fascinating car that genuinely sounds wonderful. Watch the Seen Through Glass video when he drove one recently, it really highlights how brilliant it sounds (even when driven by someone who has driven all sorts of exotics).

Please keep us updated with your thoughts and ideally videos.

[Maty]

Excellent! I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen one of these in the flesh,

Remember Clarkson testing it on Top Gear and thinking that is possibly the nicest sounding car ever!

We need a video when you pick it up.

Ride please.

[Captain Smerc]

Give us a job !

They're about the same speed as a Golf R with a remap. And you really have to wind them up to go fast. Incredible sound, though. Possibly the most beautiful noise ever to come from a car.

[Leon R]

Bookmarked! One of my absolute favourite cars and I am massively jealous, please keep this thread updated even if it is just pics.

FFS it does 0-60 in 3.7.

Edited to say just seen you are making over a 100 posts a day. Every day. Without fail. Jesus Christ.

Top class trolling. Dedicated too.

The answer is always remapped Golf R, even if the question is LFA! Still, let's concentrate on the luckiest man in PHdom, the OP!
