The first ever Lexus supercar

The LFA is the first Lexus supercar. Described variously as 'bonkers', 'scary' and 'weird', it has been a decade in the making

This is the first Toyota Lexus supercar, and has been a decade in the making, says Andrew English in The Daily Telegraph. And at first glance, you may wonder where the drama is. But although unusual, the styling works: "someone's put a lot of love into the LFA". The cabin is "delightful"; the engine "extraordinary".

The cabin is an unalloyed triumph, says English. The fascia feels "pleasingly retro and is beautifully finished". The V10 engine sits low and well back in the chassis, says Evo, and produces 552bhp at 8,700rpm. It's more an assertive car than a beautiful one, says Evo, but it has "neat detailing" such as the rear wing.
