Lexus LF-A

The Lexus LF-A could easily be the best car to ever come out of Japan. In general, I tend to favor American and European cars over Japanese cars, but there are some Japanese cars along with this one that pique my interest, such as the Toyota Supra, Nissan GT-R, Acura/Honda NSX, and Subaru BRZ. Also, the reliability of Japanese cars in general can't be beat. Back to the LF-A, it has a naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V10 producing 552 HP and 354 lb-ft of torque paired to a six-speed automatic. It can go from 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 202 mph. Production of the LF-A ended sometime last year, with only 500 units ever built. So far, I have seen three in person and two of those are featured above. The one in white was at the L.A. Auto Show back in November and I saw the one in black almost one year ago. Lexus once pondered a limited production run of the LF-A roadster from a few years ago but it never got past the concept stage. If you are in the market for an LF-A, there are at least a few listings on eBay for a used LF-A, even though only 500 were produced and every unit has had at least one previous owner. The Lexus LF-A is a gorgeous and amazing automobile. Like some American and European exotics, it is in a class of its own and there is nothing out there like it.
