The years pass, but the Lexus LFA continues to be “the bearer” of two almost indisputable titles: it is one of the few Japanese supersports and, therefore, one of the best ever; and it has one of the best “soundtracks” in memory.
If after reading this first paragraph you thought I was going to talk about the Lexus LFA sound system, you couldn't be more wrong. Legend has it that LFA owners have never used the car's sound system. I want to believe this...
The guilt? Well, it's the fault of the 4.8 liter atmospheric V10 engine that produces 560 hp at a high 8700 rpm. A true masterpiece whose sound won over all those who had the privilege of conducting it.
Therefore, any excuse that allows us to listen to this soundtrack again is always welcome.
And the most recent one comes to us in the form of a first-person essay, which unfortunately is the closest many of us will get to being behind the wheel of this Japanese “monster”, which only saw 500 copies produced.
Remember that when it was launched in 2009, the Lexus LFA claimed a top speed of 325 km/h and only 3.7s in the acceleration exercise from 0 to 100 km/h.
