Lexus LFA: Verdict: Near perfection lost in limbo
I was expecting this from the beginning. The LFA is just absolutely perfect. It handles great, almost no understeer and just a tab of over steer but it's so manageable. The weight distribution and suspension is perfect. The car doesn't feel heavy nor is it to responsive to drive. You don't have to work it, you can sit back, relax, have fun and race at the same time. But there are a few problems with it. Now when you think of this car you would consider it competing with high end ferrari's such as the 458 and the lamborghini Aventador or possibly the McLaren 12C and the price for this car certainly encourages it but, it simply can't. Handling wise it's right on par of not better than all of these cars but for the power, it lacks it severely. Having 552 hp, it's not exactly slow but it's not super car fast. And to make things worse, you cannot add body kits on it. Add as much horsepower as you want and make it even lighter cause but don't think you'll be adding downforce on this car. If you're a hardcore tuning race fan, sadly, your perfect car just got ruined.
Value:For super car price you get excellent handling but you lack the power. I really don't know what to tell you about this car cause the only other vehicles in it's category is the Gallardo, the GT-R and a 430. It's in a limbo between the flagship hardcore supercars and their less powerful lightweight models. Because of that I really can't say it's a bad or a good race car cause there's almost nothing to compare it to. The only bad thing about it is that depending on how you look at it and it's price.
