Lexus LFA

Not everyone was convinced initially and I wasn't exactly a fan of this car upon its debut some 10 years ago as there were far better performing machines at and below its price range and there were still a good amount of excellent NA engines in production that made this one blend into the white noise more so than it deserved.

A decade later, in hindsight, this is a thing to behold. A fantastic-sounding and responsive V10 engine is now a unicorn by today's standards.

Considering how rare this car is at just 500 units worldwide, it's unsurprising that so few have had the opportunity to see one let alone drive one.
Enjoy the V10 symphony.

I would pay big money to have my M3 sound like that!

Phenomenal car.

Only redeeming quality is the exhaust note. It was never a good looking vehicle, the transmission is dated, and it isn't really that quick(nor was it ever).

Long list of cars I would rather have.
