2011 Lexus LFA: 10 Things You Don't Know About the Supercar

let me point out the REAL important information(provided my wet dreams come true and they put the LFA engine in an up coming lotus)

dry sump
super low CG because of drysump
SMALLER in EVERY way than a camry engine
Lighter than a camry engine

next time I see a shooting star I'm wishing for this in an esprit...

I wonder how much that engine costs. If it's more than an Exige, maybe I can just buy the engine, put it in my living room, and stare at it. 9500 rpm redline V10...

I could also use that to beat eggs for waffles...


9500 rpm waffles...

Anyone seen the Jalopnik 400K Comparison?
LOL, 1 LFA vs 20 Toyota FT-86's.

"1 LFA Horsepower: 550."
"20 FT-86 Horsepower: 4000"

Pretty sure Top Gear proved that it's not anywhere near a good idea to do stuff like that with a high HP Engine.

But I see where your coming from.
Anyone want to start a donation to buy one of these and pass it around every week?

I think most of the high cost of this thing comes from all the exotic materials in the rest of the car, hopefully toyota is smart enough to sell the engine to lotus

...honestly, as much as i'd love to see this motor in the esprit, i don't think it's a realistic prospect - lotus goes for mass-produced toyota powerplants for reasons of economy and serviceability which this 500-unit powerplant won't offer...
