Lexus LFA and IS-F joust on track at Buntingthorpe
Lexus has taken the first LFA in the UK off to Bruntingthorpe for a bit of track time, and a bit of jousting with the Lexus IS-F
Just a couple of weeks ago we reported that the first Lexus LFA in the UK had put in an appearance at Goodwood to delight the Supercar Sunday Breakfast Club.
The visit to Goodwood made it clear that Lexus were treating the LFA as a serious performance car, and not just a rich man’s toy (although it is a rich man’s toy), so we wondered where Lexus UK would go next with their very own LFA.
Would they trot it up to Lexus Park Lane and put it on show for the temptation of the passing wealthy, or would they plough on with putting the LFA in front of real (if wealthy) petrolheads?
It’s only taken a couple of weeks to get the answer to that question – the gold-plated petrolheads win hands-down. Well done Lexus.
So Lexus-lusting, wedged-up petrolheads got treated to plenty of spine-tingling V10 wailing at Bruntingthorpe. There were track rides (although we’re not too sure any of the attendees were actually let loose behind the wheel) and some playful jousting with the Lexus IS-F.
Fortunately Lexus took their camcorder with them for your enjoyment.
percy says
I’ve tried very hard to dislike the Lexis LFA. It seems ridiculous to sell a Toyota for over 300,000. Despite that I am forced to concede the LFA may be a world class supercar after all.
