Yellow Lexus LFA Revs and Startup in America

The supercar world is basically controlled lunacy you pay a lot of money for. You have to have loud exhausts (the more the better), big wings and looks that come from some sort of dangerous wild animal. The Lexus LFA has three exhausts, same number as a Ferrari 458, a big wing that lifts up at speed, like the Bugatti Veyron, and a huge price tag.
Yet it never managed to capture the public’s imagination. Yet this car is a real beast. It turns on a dime, it does power slides and the best pat of it has to do with the engine. It’s also got a 560 horsepower 4.8-liter V10, matched to a rear-mounted six-speed sequential automatic transmission, giving 200mph-plus performance.

Yet at the end of the day, it’s still a Lexus, which makes the video shot by CarsandCoffeIrvine a good supercar spotting one. After all, Americans still love their Lexus luxury.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
