Lexus LFA Nordschleife lap

A lap around the Nürburgring Northschleife. My first time on the Nordschleife, didn't know the track well. Drove a few laps on PS3 a day before. Enough to remember the 1st third of the track, the rest was familiar, bot not enough.

Made A LOT of mistakes, overshifted a lot trough the whole lap. Probably because of the excitment, so don't blame me :) Amazing expirience. Great to be able to look at the speedo too. The video hides true speed very well.

Still in love with the engine and the sound of the car. The LFS is magnificent, sublime on the road and track. Best supercar I've driven. So balanced, so poised and with enormous levels of grip. Will remember this for the res of my life. Was one of the highlights of my journalistic career and I get chills just looking at this ...

Timed the lap, and I think it would be around 8min05sec. Good&fast for my first time at the Ring. The car was a normal LFA, not the Nürburgring edition that did the best laptime for the LFA model.

This what Youtube is for: watching a normal guy trying to push a £300k+ supercar round the 'ring in HD. I enjoyed that

All the people who played too much Gran Turismo and Forza being critical of this guy will never understand the difference between a Restart button VS the fear of crashing their own exotic on a track

Everyone saying he did a bad job at driving. Let's see you ripping a $375, 000 supercar with 552hp on one of the most tricky courses in the world better than him. He states that it is his first time and I am amazed at his skill.

I don't care about his driving, I care about his JOY whilst driving. And that is just fabulous :)

Man...pushing a car thats that rare and expensive on the toughest race track in the world..and not having previous hands on experience on the green hell... you did EXTREMELY well. Congratulations.. and you are very very lucky to have had the experience in that car. and not crashing the thing. . All the best and give everyone more videos like this.

Damn dude you managed to do about an 8 minute lap as an amateur and new to the ring, much respect

[omoghosty]

Its Illegal for a car to sound this good

[ToyotaLife]

That whoowhoooo made me smile and shows how much fun LFA is

[jcv]

Don't worry about the go-karters, would love to see the kids go around the ring that fast. Tires squeeling in a $400k exotic supercar, you got balls. Nice lap, nice car

When the valet have your car while your eating dinner

[donkgated]

I'm pretty sure that's the closest a production car ever gets to sounding like an F1 car. That wail is to die for!

[viniciusalves]

I don't get the people criticizing his driving skills. I could feel the thrill and fear all the time while watching this masterpiece! Amazing work.

When I wasn't into racing, I thought LFA wasnt fast enough for the price and was like "rather buy GTR for the price..." but now I really love the fact that this thing does this much fast while having amazing exhaust notes from N/A V10 which is really a huge game changer for the driving experience on both tracks and daily driving, moreover, most people are even close to able to push this car to the limit. This car seems to be really comfy and bossy on public roads as well..This car is truly a masterpiece. I wish I can have one if I had money.

lexus lfa is the best car in the world

[aaronpoutanen]

That looks like the most fun 15 minutes money can buy... Looks like you had fun! I've done the track hundreds of times on a simulator and still don't think I would have pushed any harder than you. Thanks for posting!

2:57 this dude never drove the most insane track in the world and goes 250 kmh and cornering with 215 kmh in an million dollar LFA on his first lap... insane.

[rubengardiner]

The clicking of the paddle shifters even sounds amazing

[WanderingSword]

the the age of EV upon us, this LFA engine will go in history as the best ever made internal combustion engine for a production car

[Defoanoob]

I know this is an old video but i genuinly brings me joy to see how much of a good time he is having, No annoying shit, no music, no eccesive talking, just some guy having a blast in an amazing car...
