The Lexus LFA and the IS 350

The Lexus LFA The Lexus LFA started rearing its head in somewhere in the year 2000 as a concept car, a prototype. Lexus had been working a car that will be one of the world's iconic supercar and finally in the year 2010 they finally revealed it, the 2011 Lexus LFA. Toyota finally did it, making a very powerful super car. The time and other resources that went into it was just mind blowing.  It is totally pack with technology and also the body was made out of carbon fibre all in the name of making the car light and very fast, they took every detail into consideration, they were very meticulous. That's the word, METICULOUS!  From the engine to the chassis to the brakes to the transmission to the body,to even the paint work on the body, I mean everything. It also had a very tempting 4.8L V10 engine producing a whooping 556hp when the car just weighs 1,480 kg, believe me with that amount of power the car is seriously light.  It also has a 6 speed flappy gear box...
