The Lexus LFA was far greater than any other car that the Japanese luxury brand has made. ... Under the hood was a screaming, naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V10 with a 553HP that sounded like a Formula 1 race car. Today it is still one of the rarest supercars you will ever encounter, as Lexus only made 500 copies between 2010 and 2012.
Unfortunately, most auto writers dislike the LFA’s six-speed single-clutch automated manual transmission. They say it lacks the refinement of the dual-clutch transmissions available on many of its competitors, and that it has trouble finding the right gear if you’re just cruising around in automatic mode.
The cockpit of the Lexus LFA is both luxurious and high-quality though. LFA buyers can choose from a multitude of available fabric and color combinations to personalize their LFA, and with just 500 planned for production, the added personalization only adds to the LFA’s exclusivity. And while getting in and out of the LFA can require a bit of contortion, reviewers generally agree that the seats are comfortable. Perhaps the biggest complaint about the Lexus LFA is its price tag, with a base price of $375,000 which blew my mind away or about $400,000 with its options and when you spend such amount on a car, you would probably be seeking a proper supercar like the Lamborghini Aventador which is worth serious consideration. The Aventador started at almost $380,000, but its 700-horsepower V12 engine means that you’ll get a lot more performance. With a zero to 60 mph time of just 2.9 seconds, the Aventador is also 0.7 seconds quicker to 60 mph than the LFA. Because let's face truth guys, at the end of the day, a Lambo badge stands out more than the Lexus badge.
