Car and Driver
“Exotic” is the word to describe the LFA, from its “techno-brutal” styling to its “magnificent and outlandish” leather and carbon-fiber interior. Its 552-hp, 4.8-liter V-10 engine fires up with “a throat-clearing mini-explosion” and wails loudly enough “to disturb moon dust” at highway speeds. But our quibbles are minor. We only wish its maker, Toyota, would “put the same soul and passion into the rest of its cars.”

There are more powerful and faster sports cars out there, “but very few deliver their talents in a more focused and emotional manner than the new Lexus flagship.”
