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.
  • @robomatt101
    After 10 years, we FINALLY get a proper documentary that the LFA deserves.

    44:28 "Here are the negatives" -"No one cares Mark, get on the throttle". Truer words have never been spoken.
  • If there was an Oscar for automotive documentaries, this one would win. Best car review I've ever seen.
  • @raist315
    And here it is. The car that sounds better than a choir.
  • @johnnyjue5333
    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!

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

    The car that justifies internal combustion engines

    When a LFA used to be $500k. The world finally appreciates this masterpiece of a vehicle. it's almost impossible to believe that there were 2 unsold examples in 2019 just sitting in dealerships.

    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.

    48 minutes never passed so easily. Incredible to see how much engineering effort went into this. A joy to watch.
  • @burningknuckle26
    The quality of Lexus. This car is so pure. LFA is godly. The total package 😮
  • @simplyblack2263
    I kid you not, your review, along with the Throttle House's "Living Legend" LFA review, have been the best 2 reviews of any car, period. That is first because the LFA deserves it, and part is because your passion allowed you to properly acknowledge it. My favourite brand ever, LEXUS. My favourite car ever, L F A

    Did anyone else think they were watching a movie at the start of the video. The production value is amazing.
  • @Matt-xs7qo
    Holy shit, Goose. This is the big leagues. Remember your fans when you become huge
  • @Shady_2144
    This is the best car documentary I’ve ever watched, period. It cannot be better than this. The quality of production and work that was put into this video for us is as equal as the Unicorn LFA itself. ❤️
  • @Crysmatic
    Definitely an engineer's wet dream, even more so than the McLaren F1
