Lexus LFA | A Proper Goodbye

We review and celebrate the long gone Lexus LFA, a car briefly made from 2011-2012. With only 500 manufactured, this extremely rare and largely misunderstood car, has mystique. We attempt to break down and tell the story of what made it special. The LFA despite the badge speaks a universal language. Whether you are a Ferrari, Porsche, Chevy or Ford fan there is something in this video you will appreciate. If you are big fan of the Toyota Supra, 86, LC500, F Products you may wonder if this Lexus is the next $1,000,000 car?

This documentary about the LFA is the LFA of documentaries.

[robomatt]

After 10 years, we FINALLY get a proper documentary that the LFA deserves.

[quaidmciver]

This is the best LFA review on the internet.

44:28 "Here are the negatives"
-"No one cares Mark, get on the throttle".

Truer words have never been spoken.

48 minutes never passed so easily. Incredible to see how much engineering effort went into this. A joy to watch.

[Matt-xsqo]

Holy shit, Goose. This is the big leagues. Remember your fans when you become huge

[raist]

And here it is. The car that sounds better than a choir.

[keyboarddancers]

If there was an Oscar for automotive documentaries, this one would win. Best car review I've ever seen.

[mrjain]

48 minutes? This could have gone another 2 hours just listening to the engine and exhaust. Well done!.

[DrCourse]

Did anyone else think they were watching a movie at the start of the video. The production value is amazing.

"The LFA is so good that not even the people who made it, know how to make it again." -Jeremy Clarkson

[johnnyjue]

The fact that there’s both Japanese and English subtitles demonstrates how much attention has been paid to detail here. Thank you for all the effort you’ve put in for us!

[terminalarray]

Jeremy Clarkson Before Driving the LFA: "I just don't understand it."
Jeremy Clarkson After Driving the LFA: "This is the greatest car I've ever driven"

[TheStraightPipes]

Thank you for documenting the car I will buy one day

[janus]

Holy shit that was good. Lexus should have this playing on loop in their dealerships.

[jasonz.]

I didn’t understand 60% of what they talked about but I enjoyed 100% of it.

[Heyhowsitgoingg]

As a Long time Lexus employee and a F owner, Thank you for this Documentary that finally defines the true "Pursuit Of Perfection" Lexus wanted the world to see!

[KG_Costco_Chicken]

Cannot believe we have a chance to see a review of this car again

[VINZ]

To me, this car is the Japanese version of the McLaren F1.
An absolute car, an absolute dream.
If I had to chose 5 cars, the Lexus LFA will be one of them.
It’s way more than a car… It’s Japan at his finest and God this country is on another planet in terms of craftsmanship and philosophy…
A priceless Japanese work of art.
What a dream car…

Big thanks for this precious video!
From France,
ViNZ.
