Lexus LF-A

Thank goodness for childish behaviour. Got £330,000 Lexus LF-A underneath you, and a crowd of petrolheads begging for you to let it rip? You'd have to oblige.
 
Like the driver of this one, who couldn't resist a good stab at the throttle as he pulled away from a garage near the Nurburgring. Watch this vid and be patient - the black test-spec car goes first, but it's the white production car that gives it some death.

 

Pure race car noise, eh? That's what you get from a 550bhp V10. Kind of reminds us of a F1 car before they switched to V8s.
 
Now who wants one?

lovely roar, more screechy than an f430 and louder than a moose blowing a tuba

although i want to see if it is worth £330,000 for 550hp and reasonably bland styling. all previous cars at this price have had a trick up their sleeves, but i can't see anything

that is a very ugly looking car. its like someone without a chin and the top lip droops away over the top one, and then the designer of this tried to sort it out with misplaced lines, no its just too ugly for that money, an aston is far better looking. and the noise its ok but there are old alfa romeo 75s with the v6 and they sound far better when revving. and as im a big merc fan this is definatley not good value because merc are making far better sports cars at that money this is a lexus the price cant be that high for a car with a badge with less prestige than ford
