Lexus LFA 2011 Video Review

The last time I was in something worth $750,000 it had a bathroom and a pool. There are only 10 (the last being delivered in late 2012) of the 500-build-run LFA supercars hitting our shores - all are gone. Several owners (both dealers and private owners) have apparently sworn never to sell their Lexus V10 supercars. That is far from difficult to understand, even after only a handful of laps behind the wheel.

Carsguide was given an all-too brief opportunity to slot in behind the blue and black leather-wrapped carbon-fibre wheel (complete with a bit of ballast in the flat bottom) of the Lexus "demonstrator" at Sandown raceway in Melbourne.

Having listened to its V10 soundtrack echo across the racetrack, the anticipation was palpable - there's something about the odd-numbered Vee configuration that has a real edge to it, the BMW M5 being the other example.
