Uh, because Enzos cost much more than the LF-A?

Sounds mean as fuck.

I'm not sure why they didn't show it doing more corners though. Or at the very least 2 corners is succession.

The sound is absolutely amazing. I could listen to that thing all day.

There is another official Lexus video that shows more exterior scenes of the LF-A on track at the Lexus Racing article below. Skip to page 8 for the video. Track scenes start about half way through

I'm still contemplating if I should get one. The dealer still hasn't gotten back to me on all the legalities of owning this car. Apparently Lexus only wants to lease the car to prevent people flipping the cars for profit.

From your impressive portfolio in the sig, I would expect you would be an ideal customer for the car in Lexus' eyes. You are absolutely correct on the lease scenario. It is being handled much the way the Ferrari Enzo was. If you are interested, you may consider contacting Lexus more directly.


For anyone interested in seeing it, we just got a list of events it will be appearing at (in the US). The Chicago Auto Show may be one of the better locations. Here is the list:
