Exceptional LFA display at Lexus Singapore

Last week, I received a personal invite from Lexus Singapore to view a rare LFA on display for a very limited time at their flag ship show room.

There are 500 LFA in the world and only 6 in Singapore!!
I had already the chance to copilot the Lexus LFA Nürburgring prototype (see video) in Fuji speedway last summer.


"The Best car I ever driven" says Jeremy Clarkson of TOP Gear UK

It is an Amazing car.....and we will not miss to see one again.






 The LFA's speed-sensitive rear wing incorporates a Gurney flap and deploys at speeds over 80 km/h (50 mph).With the wing retracted the LFA's body has a drag coefficient of 0.31. (source: Wikipedia)


The LFA body features sharp edges and cutoffs for improved aerodynamic performance, made possible by the carbon fiber body. The body was designed with an emphasis on downforce. There are air scoops located over the rear fenders which feed the aft-mounted radiators and help cool the brakes. A horizontal hood gap also feeds air to the engine.
Two small aft vents expel air that is collected by an underbody air scoop and used to cool the titanium exhaust pipes. Dual hood ducts serve to move hot air away from the exhaust manifold.








The LFA further features six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo monobloc brake calipers with 390 mm (15.4 in) front and 360 mm (14.2 in) rear carbon ceramic discs controlled by Toyota's Electronically Controlled Brake brake-by-wire system. (source: Wikipedia)
