Development
LFA Chief Engineer, Haruhiko Tanahashi, said the LFA pushed every conceivable boundary during its development.
"LFA development was unlike any Lexus before it. We tested it in the harshest driving environments - from the high-speed Nardo facility to the gruelling Nurburgring race track.
"LFA is a rolling showcase of Lexus' advanced engineering capabilities," said Mr Tanahashi.
"The result is a thoroughbred, a machine engineered to achieve one single goal - to deliver a supreme driving experience."
