Lexus LFA Announces Online Sound Library

Nice... This design has started to grow on me.

Still sounds like a Porsche Carrera GT.

I wonder which one is faster on a track, the LFA or the GTR-V.

Sounds OK, But nothing like being in a 1968 SS/AH Cuda 426 R-Hemi going through the quarter mile at 159 M.P.H. in 8.29 seconds at @ 8,000 rpm. Now thats internal combusting Music.

Wow F1 buzz.

I don't think this is the right direction for Lexus. I would much rather see a mid-sized coupe to compete with the 335, A5/S5 and G37.

Nice toy )))

The sound was created in cooperation with Yamaha.

From design plagiarists to unique design. That's progress! The fact that Lexus is not playing it safe by competing with class rivals shows not only fresh thinking (by virtue of Toyota's F1 breakthrough), but also true ambition. It is easy to settle for mediocrity with steady business, but market leaders never rely on past glories for future sustenance! The engine soundtrack is pure F1 symphony. From creamy-smooth V8 to mosquito-screaming V10 engineering orchestra. Slick video.

whoopdeedoo, a great exhaust note. Still ugly and not worth the price tag.

I think that there has been far too much emphasis on the price of the LFA - There are only 500 being built, so from a consumer's point-of-view, the car's price is totally irrelevent. The people who will purchase this car will not make the distinction between $100K and $500K. All they'll be interested in is its rarity - they already have Ferraris and Porsches. The real significance of this car is that Toyota has now developed CFRP that it can begin to introduce into more humble machinery in a bid to improve Fleet efficiency as regulations begin to tighten. It also has a V10 that we might see in the next GS or LS model range, albeit de-tuned and probably less advanced and expensive to produce. This a halo car, and TMC certainly has a different in its development than to make it a value choice for the usual sports car buyer.
