Video: LF-A tears it up

Civilisations have risen and fallen, continents have shifted... and finally, the LF-A is here.

The 410kW V10 supercar will debut in Tokyo next week, with a price tag somewhere in the $700,000+ region.

Erm, yes. $700,000. That's quite a bit of cash for something that ostensibly rivals the McLaren MP4-12C-38DD-thing and Ferrari 458 Italia.

Then again, it does sound Really Quite Good, as this video of the track-spec LF-A in action at Motorsport Japan 2009 proves.

Turn up your speakers and enjoy the sound of a big angry Japanese V10 getting snarly on the overrun and then let us know - are you finally letting yourself get excited about the LF-A?

And, as a side point, don't you think it looks just a bit... twitchy on the limit?
