The New Lexus Lfa

The Lexus LFA is an exotic two-seater sports car

, which Lexus has produced as a concept car, a halo car, racing prototype and a production model. Three concept models were displayed between 2005 and 2008 and the production model was displayed at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show.

The new Lexus LFA is a rear wheel drive, passionately designed to give a high throughput. It utilises a high-revving 4.8-liter V10 engine that generates 552 hp and 354 lb-ft (480Nm) of torque for adrenaline-fuelled 202 mph (325km/h) performance. It offers a perfect driver control with its unique powerplant, joined to a unique six-speed and Automated Sequential Gearbox (ASG) with paddle shifters. The gearbox is located in a transaxle layout over the rear axle. It is essential for the front-to-rear weight distribution.

It has a unique exterior made up of advanced Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP). This sophisticated material technology gives a light, incredibly strong and impact-resistant structure. Thus, the chassis and bodywork has been manufactured to give a powerful and balanced exterior.

It places the high weigh components such as engine and the transmission system in the wheel base. The arrangement of the peripheral components like oil pump and the water pump along with the dry sump lubrication, contributes in lowering the centre of gravity. The centralised mass gives extra stability to the car during cornering.

The engine is front mid-mounted and the car will have rear-wheel drive. The gearbox is a six speed automated sequential with paddle shifters. The driver can select from the four driving modes which are: automatic, normal, sport and wet. New technology has been developed for the gearbox and the power is sent from the crank via the first torque tube of the world to the transmission.

It offers four driving modes; Auto, Sport, Normal and Wet. It features heavy-duty synchroniser rings and newly developed gearshift actuator, which facilitates very direct shift feel. Moreover, it possesses seven-stage shift-speed selector that gives a speed up-shift within 0.2 seconds. Thus, the car manages to provide a higher level of driving control.

The Lexus LFA will be offered to customers in twenty eight colour choices for the body and three for the alloy wheels. The interior of the LFA has carbon fibre, leather, alcantara and metallic surfaces. Two bucket seats, a remote touch controller and a 12-speaker Mark Levinson sound system are installed in the cabin. The instrument display is digital and the background colour changes automatically. The LFA has a new seatbelt and airbag design for the driver and the passengers.

The interior of the car combines the state of art instrument panel design and latest technology. Its interior is divided into three zones; mechanical zone, human zone and the driver zone. The dashboard caters many things including LCD screen in the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster has a digital speedometer with side appearing side menus. The interior offers a comfortable drive through its side-air-bags. The car ensures security with its Dynamic Integrated Management (VDIM) system. This system makes you aware of the potential collision. Thus, the new Lexus LFA offers a comfortable and safe driving experience.
