Unique, screamy V10. Unusual shouty styling. A halo supercar, back when that sort of thing made sense. Maybe it wasn’t pretty enough, or too expensive for the performance. It was good though, and cool.

I can’t think of a single car made in the last 20 years that sounds better. It’ s a unique sound, that may not be to everyone’s taste, but its evocative no matter how you slice it.

I really hope to hear one in person some day, I’ve never seen an LFA on the road.

Lexus really needs to revive the 1LR and have Yamaha tune the exhausts again for some other limited run cars. Such a cool piece of tech shouldn’t be limited to 500 cars.

Hard to believe this thing is almost a decade old already. Absolutely one of the greatest-sounding cars of all time.

They may have been underappreciated during t heir time, but these are guaranteed future classics (IMO they were instantly classics).

IMO all the modern OHC V10s sound incredible: Carrera GT, E60 M5/M6, Gallardo/ R8 V10, the LFA, and the Huracan.

The LFA, however, is just so damn special. It's a shame the majority of them aren't driven and shared with the world.

well, the tough part about that is the LFA:World ratio is sadly lopsided.

I’d like an LFA and a LC500 in my garage. Gib now!

Totally. It’s a fight between the V10s and probably nothing else.

It would be super cool. I can’t see it happening though. Sports cars are dead and so are bigger engines :(

Totally agree. Too special to not hit classic status.

It’s great, but didn’t they make like “dozens” and only sell part of those?

I live in a pretty “show off cars everywhere” town and have never seen one...

Agreed. Ultra-r are and expensive means rarely seen, but still, the world would be a better place if more ears experienced the music o f the LFA.

There is at least one local to me I have seen and heard a couple of times. Absolutely incredible sound. Every time I put the windows down and stick my head out like a dog. Probably unsafe but worth it
