Driving The Lexus LFA - 9000 RPM V10 Supercar (POV Binaural Audio)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июн 2021
- The perfect complement to the LFA's space age chassis is a 9,000 RPM 4.8L V10 that revs like a formula 1 car. Never has my right foot had so much control over my smile.

how does the single clutch downshift so well? I have a genesis r-spec 5.0 sedan and singles like mine have jerky downshifts (unless you apply throttle). nothing like an audi or bmw DCT
É
Great engine mated to a lethargic transmission. The shifts are so slow. What was Lexus thinking 🤔?
And what's with the car key? Insert it? $30K Lexuses have keyless entry and start.

Night rider wheel style
Im Japanese and my dad was involved in the development, that speedometer and wire harness were designed and produced by the company my dad works for as a developer. That’s one of the few things I'm proud of😊
goodo
damn, that's dope.
Your dad developed such a sick car, thats dope
But did they gave him one ?
This car is legendary. Big props!
Those wheels are a crime against humanity.
and so is the underglow, I get that people who like jdm like that kind of stuff, but this isn't something you should be messing around with, it's an LFA for crying out loud
Right?
this
Thank you for saying what’s on all of our minds 😌
Looks like they stole the early (C4) Corvette wheels, made them bigger and painted them black.
At 7:10 watching the wing slowly rise up as you speed up the ramp up to the high brings a smile to my face
Great catch
Nice I think Porsche 911 also did the same thing too
@@alpzeptayes it does. my dad has a beat up 911 he got for $10,000 and when he took me on a ride as a kid he pointed that out to me.
@@joej3365 911 for 10k?
@@alanwatts8239 yes back in the 2000’s from my uncle who gave us a discount but it was also pretty beat
This car was never designed to compete with the best of the best, ergo the 10-year production. But that sound. That sound sank every other supercar ever. That sound is what I want to hear when I die and I ascend into heaven if it exists. Every time I hear an LFA my eyes tear up. Nothing sounds as good as this. Anything this compares to is classical music, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, and Tchaikovsky. A true symphony of sound.
I'd say both the Porsche Carrera GT and E60 BMW M5 also have an amazing sound.
@@bukaratmuhammad9995 Well, in my opinion for the M5 and the CGT they didn't focus as much on how the car sounds, the CGT literally has an engine meant for a racecar under the hood and the M5 is a sedan with a V10 engine which is already insane enough but they didn't quite sound like the LFA. Don't get me wrong they both sound amazing but they don't sound as good because Lexus actually hired Yamaha to tune the car's exhaust so that it sounds godlike. Again this is my opinion and I may be wrong because I wasn't lucky enough to hear any of those cars in real life. I just realised that's quite a long paragraph 😂 lol.
I think the LFA downshifting might just be the greatest sound in the history of sound
If I ever get to hear one in person I think I'd cry. It's that great 👏🏼
Have you heard the e92 m3 downshift, its amazing as well
The GT downshifting is one of the most brutal sounds ever. One of my favorites on top of the LFA
relax
tears after this sound
I firmly believe this is the most incredible sounding car ever made. “Road car”😂

This is the best sounding car of all time and its not up for debate
It's up there with the rotary
@@shadyshelby8361 Eh no
@@AH-lx5nj eh si
Man i could watch him drive for hours.
The LFA sounds and look beautiful.
The sound of the start up @ 2:48 was absolutely insane too.
If u feel useless just remember the Lexus LFA has a sound system 💀😭
Underrated comment bruh 😭
the only comment on which i laugh so hard
@@ahmadzulfiqar3854 Why does Lexus put fake sound speakers in their exhaust
What the heck Lexus
Lol funny comment, this car seriously needs shit to get going
@@greenscreenmachine6405 lexus dont have fake speaker sound dude there's tubing tha runs into cabin from engine for the best experience do. You really think this car needs fake sound its not GR yaris dude
Wow---"this is INSANE" is an understatement. The sound is still one of the best engineered from a car EVER! It is truly legendary. Thanks for sharing with us Tedward!
Sound by YAMAHA
I don't know, Ferrari has some bangers too though. This is definitely in the top 3 for sure though 🙂
@@slargo83 This is hands down the best sounding car imo, nothing even comes close to the symphony this weapon puts off
@@oliverwilkins3 sounds like an F1 car for sure. closest sounding car would be the Porsche Carrera GT
@@slargo83 the fact that this is the only car that had the exhaust tuned by a musical instrument company puts it into a league of its own...but also it can make some people dismiss it as "the car that just sounds good"
Absolute dream car. This was the first video of Tedwards that I watched and I come back to it when it pops up because damn... that engine just sounds too good
This is the best LFA video on RUclips. Thanks for making it!

I absolutely hate those wheels but love the car and the review
it's such an understaded car, it needed something to stand out ;)
I can only assume they swapped out wheels to let the OEMs sit in a lovely storage bin until they're ready to sell this. Stock wheels are probably hilariously more expensive than these already expensive HREs.
@@MyRealName stand out .....with that winter steel wheel look 😂
@@Bwillev that is very smart.
@@domtoretto3280 Well they wanted the sleeper look lmao
Thank you for uploading this. Probably the closest I'll ever get to driving an LFA but it was thrilling all the same.
The first five seconds of this video are an absolute masterclass in how to hook your viewer. Literally just explode into the video with EXACTLY what the viewers want to see. This whole video is just such a treat. Thank you dude 🙏
Thank you!!
@@TedwardDrives I love Lexus LFA
I have been waiting for the day Tedward gets his hands on an LFA.
We need a 10 hour driving compilation of this car. No talking just driving!
One hour for each of the glorious cylinders.
Id watch it,I’d watch the whole damn thing. This car is an absolute masterpiece
The drive has to be in the mountains for more shifts.❤
@@ryandonahue5288 So first its going to sound like a 1 cylinder then a 2 cylinder????
The sound man… the fucking sound… It’s so beautiful.
The build quality/design of it is so impressive as well, really holds up after even 10 years. It doesn’t look or feel too outdated.
I’m in love with this car. Always have been. Got to see one here in New Zealand on a racetrack. One had popped up for sale at Lexus NZ so they sent one from Singapore to demo at a big racing event for advertising. I have just today bought Sony XM4 noise cancelling headphones. I’ve heard binaural audio in shitty headphones. But holy shit this is insane
4000 rpm.
LFA: chilling
My car: AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH
Diesel gang rise up
4k rpm is nothing lol my motorway cruising rpm is like 3.5k in top gear since my car revs to 8k
@@stefan_4508 well yeah, try driving a diesel. At 4k it's near the redline
🤣 our old Diesel SUV would do max 3.5k RPM. 1.2 k RPM to 2K RPM is like the normal drive, way different torque curve than the other N/A V8!and Turbo i4 we used to have. And I love it. All cars, no matter fast or slow have a ton of character
@@AdrianKurian I was gonna text the same😝
And my diesel 4*4 still has limit at 4500🤣
Literally an F1 car for the roads. I actually like the single clutch transmission. Means it’s basically a true automated manual transmission
Yep, and it should be durable as hell too.
if it's similar to the r tronic in the 1st gen r8s they suck. most people complain about the lfa trans
Literally sounds like an F1 car, if only it had 8 gears
a dual clutch would have been superior in every way
@@lk4493 don’t think you would be able to appreciate the sound as much tho
This entire video gave me chills. Thank you.
What an incredible car! Gives me chills just watching you drive it.
When Yamaha do car engines they go nuts, that Lexus V10 and the Volvo V8 are crazy.
Yamaha just build the head unit to improve the sound
2JZ
@@baseline4102 They where also involved in the development of the engine itself
@@estanislao7964 Exactly. Some say, neither Lexus nor Yamaha do know or remember how to built a car like this anymore...
Emission regulations shouldn't be the problem with a car that is built like a couple thousand times like a Bugatti.
Why can’t they do everyone else a favor lol
They immediately went out and sourced the worst looking wheel they could find for one of the best cars ever made. Great job guys 👍
love those aero rally looking wheels.
Classic design. And evidently polarising as well
@Yurmums Vajeje Taste is relative. The wheel turns, it works. And it certainly does not detract from it's Performance so I wouldn't call it rice.
Furthermore pristine LFAs already exist anyway. And others are Modded more to your taste too.
I celebrate the variety.
Agree they look like trash!
The wheels look horrible. The style doesn't fit this car, and the choice of color is also bad.
They might look good on some other car though. Like some old Jaguar restomod or something...
@Yurmums Vajeje it's aerodynamically beneficial. Not without reason some race cars sported turbine wheels
Hell yeah, thank you for the vid!!! Badass vid!!! Legit a “tutorial” the LFA. dope vid!!!!
Sounds absolutely spectacular!
The level of engineering and details in this car is insane. The shift with the cuts, no crackle pop bang stuff, just pure high revving na v10 made to sing. Thank you so much because this car feels so forgotten sometimes but to me, this has the perfect amount of engineers pushed so far, and man those shifts, omg.
And let me tell ya, even though it had a single clutch transmission, it still shifts decently fast.
As much as people talk about DCT's being better, I kinda miss that short power interruption of a single-clutch unit, so I say this car is, for all intents and purposes...
*Perfect* .
@@Roddy_Zeh Oh yeah totally agree with you. Dual clutches are good for numbers only, and they are smooth for every day can't take that away, but where is the drama, I mean this is what is the closest to a manual, a nice sharp cut between gears and that downshift blip. I love this car so much
@@frozenpete788 DCTs can have plenty of drama.
@@Chair991 flashed / tuned, maybe, but factory form, nobody cares, people want to be fast to the 0.01 sec wank thing, the only drama you get is that stupid fart on upshift and bang on downshift. Dct's are made to be faster and smoother because of the dual clutches, make them work against what they were designed for makes no sense
no
Is no one going to bring up those horrendous wheels on such a rare masterpiece like the LFA?
Why would you ever replace the LFA wheels. And if you were to replace them…. WITH THESE?? Must have got COVID after purchasing it because the owner has clearly lost his taste
Don't buy it then.
@@jaypers232 a very tasteful (pun not intended) burn
They ugly
Or the seats? Or the undercarriage light? Horrendous!
This car will sky rocket in value in the coming years. Oh thank you so much for this great POV and sound track!
Already 2 times the,price
I remember seeing a blue LFA at the Javitz center back in 2009/2010. The back of the vehicles exhausts release hot air after a while that can cause heat burns if someone stands too close to them.
LFA as the rep from Lexus said comes from Lexus Fuji Apex as it was the area where they tested the vehicle on runs. They even spoke how it is literally based on an F1 car for the sounds.
This car is perfect in every way.. Cant believe its almost 10 years old
It's definitely not perfect it is amazing but not perfect infotainment is garbage. Transmission is very outdated.
@@reroyals4206 who cares about infotainment in a v10 super car? 😂 get yourself a Honda or something
@@joelramos3504 at the end of the day it's it's gt car lol and lots of people do care. I don't care but it is a flaw. What about the transmission it is very slow compared to others.
Perfect in every way? The LFA transmission is garbage. My $20k car shifts much quicker than this.
@@iu2 Is it winning the race against this car tho? Stfu
finally a recording inside the car that does it justice. honeslty it baffles me how many people who reviewed this car utterly failed because they just dont get it: that sound is to be worshipped. They should be hundreds of high quality clips of it both from outside and inside the car but there just aren't. This car is a hidden gem.
Thanks Matt
I’ll take a 20 year old flat 6 any day. This sounds really, really not good to my ears.

It's fascinating how Lexus is now using some elements of this car in their production cars now. The sliding gauge is in the IS500 and some others and that knob on the dash to change driving modes is in the ES models now.

I think its a very fair statement to say that the lfa will by far forever be the greatest sounding naturally aspirated v10 ever built. The sound of the acceleration is absolutely incredible paired with the way the single clutch transmission shifts through gears makes it truly a work of art.
Cool but I think that Lamborghini Hurácan V10 and Audi R8 V10 plus are also on the same level.
