Thank you all for your kind words. We’re absolutely blown away by your comments. This was a truly special experience and our editor extraordinaire Karston did an incredible job with the final product. And yes, don’t worry. Harrison did indeed get to drive his dream car. 😉. Thanks again everyone, and stay tuned. We’ve got more wild stuff coming.
Insane
I’m sure everyone would love to see his reaction to driving his favorite car
458 and Carrera GT next?
we NEED to see footage please!!
what an amazing tribute guys!
I still remember the one and only time I saw one in the flesh, gelously kept behind a red cord at the Sydney Lexus dealer the year it came out... couldn't drive obviously, neither sit in it... but just looking (and drooling) on it was amazing... never saw another one ever since...
Awe that’s nice he got to drive
the three downshifts while L F A was being spelled out literally might be the coolest thing I have ever seen in a car review
i tought the same! amazing
Perfect ending
Period.
Hahahhaha LOVE IT ❤!!!!
I hate most superfluous things. But. Not. This.
That downshift at the end while spelling out LFA was just pure art
I can't recall a video with a more appropriate and memorable ending. I also thought Thomas was nearly brought to tears over the experience of driving the car.
@@LordPrometheous I know I sure would if I had the opportunity to drive it!
no doubt! that did the trick
^This
I'm not an emotional guy, but watching the exhilaration that Thomas and James experienced followed up with that LFA ending made my eyes well up. Exceptional video.
“It has to do with my philosophy as an engineer. I wanted to preserve an aggressive, emotional element. I wanted the LFA to deliver a euphoric experience. The driver would go to heaven in this car!” - chief engineer, Haruhiko Tanahashi
What a quote!!
"It has to do with my philosophy as an engineer. I wanted to preserve an aggressive, emotional element. I wanted the LFA to deliver a euphoric experience. The driver would go to heaven in this car"- Chief Engineer Haruhiko Tanahashi
And it did
Mission accomplished.
Takes on a different meaning when it could easily be death at the speeds it does 😂
keeping how great a car the LFA is.. they way you've presented it.. the cinematography..the audio.. the editing.. it's soo engaging.. I felt like i'm in the car.. I had goosebumps.. and I know it will be 100x better in real life but the work you guys have put into this video is commendable.. great work guys..
It's videos like this which shows how just how far ahead Throttle House is compared to The Straight Pipes.
Absolutely marvelous work of presenting this glorious machine.
100%
FACT!!!
@@Unicornpirateso too is way ahead of Carwow.
The existence of this car will forever be like passive income for the Lexus brand as a whole.
Even though they lost money for every one that sold lmao
Wasn't expecting you here but Nice to see you 🙂😁
This is what you call a comment! Cool one
It wont. They just dont use all the reputation this car gives them... They killed their sporting branch after making only one trully performant variant of their lineup, the is-f... Enthusiasts have nothing to look for at Lexus.
@@an-dr6eu don't they have the lc500? N/A v8 that sounds great?
It's amazing how the community reception towards this car has turned 180-degrees. From arguments over how it was barely faster than a GT-R back in the early 10's, to becoming one of the most desirable and amazing enthusiast cars ever made.
Yess and the hype is quite recent
It aged better than a fine wine
No shit. I liked it so much better when I was pretty much the only person whose favorite car it was :-/
Because these idiots finally realize there’s more to cars than 0 to 60 times.
I have always like the LFA, Richard did a great review of the car and Jeremy also drove it in the USA during a road trip.
Harrison's initial reaction is priceless. It really is something wonderful to see someone be so very happy and excited. It was surely the best surprise he's ever had. Well done.
I like the little wave by the LFA guy too :D
I watched that part a few times
i sometimes just watch that intro :)
Everyone went nuts and ignored the GT40 in the window 😭
And that f*ck you guys also comes from the inside of his heart 😂
I got to drive my friends LFA a handful of times, the car driven at normal commute speeds literally tells you that it’s bored. Still one of the most impressive cars i’ve ever driven.
I only drive a GR Yaris and it's always bored at those speeds aswell, sadly.
What other cars would you say can compare to the LFAs experience in your opinion
I was actually telling my friend two days that its my opinion the LFA has the best production engine ever made. I got to drive # 003, the first one publically available and that sound is something I'll never forget.
Wow, I really want to experience one in real life
Something is rising and it's not Jesus
The Porsche Carrera GT would like to have a word with you
@@DefinitelyNotEmma civic at 3 am would like to have a word with you
@@DefinitelyNotEmma vw golf R at 13k rpm would like to have a word with you
When this came out everybody was laughing at it and calling it overpriced. The LFA aged like the finest of wines.
It will cost like $10M decades later I can guarantee that
And now it worth nearly a million dollar
And the GT=R did the opposite in a way.
@@s.z.x.01 it will, just wait another decade and by 2035 this car will fly from 5-10mil
Yeah that's bc you could choose two of 458, Gallardo, SLS new at the time for the price of a single LFA. Now speculators are buying it after seeing how low production numbers were and that V10.. crap smg like transmission for $800k no thanks
I’ve easily watched this 20 times. One thing I’m just realizing that I think is underappreciated.… it is extremely extremely hard to incorporate a musical soundtrack over an engine note like the LFAs, and not have it detract from the experience. The music selection, the timing, the volume modulation…all perfect. They somehow succeeded in making the drama and the experience of listening to the engine even greater. kudos.
Lmao dude, there is so much media out there that life is not long enough to experience a fraction of it, and you spent 20 minutes * 20 times rewatching this same video? Get a grip, man! It's just a car!
@@cuy50just a car? You really don’t get it. This is an experience.
@@glitch1182 Cringe.
@@cuy50 No, what's cringe is you coming to a car enthusiast channel and saying a half million dollar car is "just a car". If you can't see the difference between driving this car and a Toyota Camry then wtf are you even doing watching and commenting on this video?
@@cuy50 you re so lame bro...
As a fun fact, the LFA had its first appearance not on the road but on a race (the Nurburgring 24H to be exact) of which they won their class multiple times. So there's one reason why the chassis (which most people overlook) is also great.
LFA on the game first appeared in Gran Turismo 5 as one of the 268 Premium cars.
I saw (but mostly heard) them compete at the Nurburgring. Hearing them howl through the forest over a mile away in the dead of night was truly haunting and spectacular. Over a field of 100+ race cars the LFAs were the ones you heard.
When you have an engine tuned by a company that specializes in creating the best musical sounds- that's when you know this thing is something special.
Not sure if the engine was tuned by Yamaha, I think it was only the exhaust.
Yamaha also have some of the best sounding bikes on the road.
@@Raven77844 The engine was build by Yamaha and Yamaha tune all engine noise
@@Raven77844 But Yamaha also makes awesome sounding motorcycle engines as well and know A LOT about high revving engines.
@@Raven77844 Not exhaust but that black intake airbox that sits on top of the engine. That's the secret ingredient. They literally tuned that airbox like their pianos at every stage of engine developement to make the perfect sound
The final three downshifts with the appearing letters "L F A" literally moved butterflies inside my stomach
Where?
@@abayamangali 19:32
This car, literally, stirs up a million emotions, and any review with it in it, is pure art, euphoria, and an unadulterated representation of the passion of driving. Thank you, Lexus LFA.
The suits and ties who were against the LFA were right however, never underestimate the power of branding. Its the reason why the LFA will still never be as popular as a GTR or a Ferrari.
We were lucky that the LFA had the backing of the biggest car company in the world, otherwise the car wouldn't be finalize as it would have bankrupted many smaller companies before its launch.
But it's not even a manual, lmfao. Also, the LFA is illiterate and cannot read your comment.
Applause to director and camera guys. Such an amazing production from music to script. This is my favorite car review film and regardless of me being blown away by the vehicle which I was already aware of, I'm also gteatful for the work your team has done for this film. I could feel the passion of everyone involved during the entire 20 minutes.
I watched this video few times myself and showed it to my fellow car enthusiasts. Great job.
P.S. hit me up when you're in North York. Let's grab a beer
also thomas' driving is perfect, he is great at it
Well said. Gorgeous production, authentic footage, and great sound!
@@jasondelizthe sound from 499P LMH is also amazing like the LFA.
A true modern classic car.
"The LFA is so good that not even the people who made it, know how to make it again."- J.C.
A rather stupid comment form Clarkson really, its not like they lost the designs in a fire or anything. I know what he was getting at was that Lexus probably couldn't make a car as good but still. Also they are making a new one.
@@oskahuxley6322 a new what? V10 Lexus?
@@sara_m no it's electric
@@oskahuxley6322 I had to disagree, the topic is on brilliant cars, Lexus made the LC500, but it isn't as good as it. The difference?
Cuz LFA spent years if not decades to reach perfection, thus justifying the price!
They are of course making cars, your statement is basically saying sun rises from the East.
What about I put it this way as an example:
"The Peugeot racing cars such as the Rally cars are so good that not even the people who made them, know how to make them again."
Do you agree this time?
@@oskahuxley6322 I think what's more stupid is people who think Lexus actually lost the know-how to make it again
I literally almost cried when Thomas started drive the LFA, crazy how much a car can make you emotional. The LFA will forever be a dream of mine.
This feeling is mutual homie
Me 2
Yup. I felt my tears filling my eyes. Couldn't quite know why, but I felt why.
Same here. I cried as well. Don't know why, I always feel so emotional when I watch LFA's videos.
Now compare that to EVs. Apsolutely 0 emotions.
Rewatching. Still one of my favourite car reviews ever. This is how it’s done, with nothing but passion, full on nerdiness, and artistry.
My heart is singing right now. I've watched tons of videos on the LFA and not a one has matched this in emotion! Thank you, guys, for being car guys and showing that side of the love we have for the LFA. It's one of my dream cars, and I'd love to drive it myself, but at least seeing this I feel like I have.
Thomas: I'm Thomas
James: And I'm James
Everyone in tears: And this is the LFA!!!
😅
Was about to say... For some reason... Got rather emotional..
The level of this film was just INSANE ! Took me back to Top Gear Days. and that V10 ! what an absolutely amazing sounding unit.

I love watching reviews on this car. Everyone has the same reaction when they hear the engine. They literally can’t speak. Having been lucky to hear one in person myself, I can understand why.
I nearly cried watching this. It’s just pure beauty in a car form.
The LFA is the definition of the Relentless Pursuit of Perfection.
What isn’t perfect is the price😬
@@chiggamanchild well.. perfection are priceless
Is it a top all-time finisher on that road course, you know the one? eh?
@@bangagoyofficial well it doesn’t have a manual
@@chiggamanchild Cheapest Yamaha Grand Piano you can buy is just under 150k and this LFA is that Grand Piano and symphony on wheels
The L-F-A with the downshifts at the end gave me goosebumps. Well done lads.
Literally talks to you this car
the entire video gave me chills lmao
I was gonna comment this too
Thought because of the spoiler it wasn't gonna happen ...
It sure did
Same same
Rewatching this always bring a smile to my face. Genuinely proud of how far you guys have come through the years. The team as a whole is incredible and we appreciate you all so much ❤
Approaching 2024 still loving this.
I’m not bullshitting, literal tears came down my eye during that ending sequence
“This car has made me pregnant” and the post coital (sorry, drive) smoke was YT gold!!
I feel James on that. Those downshifts my gawd it’s glorious
Even on the other side of a computer screen, I think I might be pregnant as well.
@@cvssvdrv 😂😂😂 if 2nd hand pregnant was a thing, you nailed it!!
That blokes reaction when he saw his favourite car was actually fucking adorable. Absolute pure joy!!
I hope he got to drive it!
I've watched so many LFA reviews since the car came out, one thing they all have in common, is putting a smile on my face. This one is extra special.
The closing credits with the three down throttles to “L F A” 🔥🔥🔥
My favorite car reviewing knuckleheads and my favorite car? This is the greatest day of my life!
This is the true successor to the Mk4 Supra, to think the GR YARIS is made in the same factory!
I was fucking tearing up for them. I'm so proud of them to finally getting around to drive the LFA among Savagegeese
@@hansennaidoo9833 No, this is greater than the supra
@@hansennaidoo9833 growing up I was obsessed with the Supra, and when this was announced I felt like it was the new version of the Supra they made to take on supercars. Similar shape with the short rear end and long hood. A next gen Supra dialed up to 11 to take on lambos and Ferraris of the era. I feel like anyone who loved the MK4 back then got very excited about this car
@@Sickwitit18 I agree
When a car review is getting you teared up, you know that Lexus and Throttle House both did a phenomenal job
I think someone is still cutting onions
Absolutely
Same here
100%
Oh man. I wasn’t the only one then.
hands down one of the best car reviews i have ever seen ... maybe even the best. the emotions they endured while driving was real. can b heard in thier voices and seen in thier eyes. felt as though i wass there in the car with both of them experiencing the same excitement and awe as they were. NICE...
Years later and I still come back to watch this. Just amazing all around.
This is one of the best car videos, if not THE best car video I've ever watched.

Fuck yes Panda... fuck yes
hey Panda!! never thought I'd see you here
Hell yeah
Top gear disco volante review still has it beat for me
He smoking after the downshifts was hilarious. These guys never disappoints. I’m not even half of the video yet and it’s already legendary.
Would have been better without the childish *yucky smoking bad* kinda cheapening it, but it was funny. Just have a dam smoke, its fine.
@@attackroflchopter4403 yeh, lung cancer’s fine. Smoke away

@@cibo4569 as if thats something terrible lmfao. His choice dammit
@@hasangenc2922 yeah their choice, but it IS something terrible.
Love this review and hands down my favorite greatest car of all time. Most reviews are too busy explaining how audience should feel. This review actually shows how car makes the driver feel- how audience wants to feel. Love it.
Agree. My favorite car too
That's the joy of driving such a legendary Car, seeing those guys like a kid in christmas morning opening their gifts... the pure joy and enjoyment, is just irreplaceable
I never thought a car review would make me so emotional. This was unbelievably well made and produced. You guys are *LITERALLY* the best car reviewers today.
You haven't watched top gear
@@Tetrathegod yeah I have, they’re basically the bar.
The clarkson review of a Ferrari (599 I think) near to the end of top gear in Scotland is unbelievable
Me too, i almost cried 😢
this video made me legitimately emotional - who's cutting onions, goosebumps, lock my office door, don't-let-them-see-me-cry emotional. Well done, fellas. Well done.
*stands up and claps*
same here, something about this car is just out of this world. too bad i will probaly never get to see on irl let alone own one
@@GraceTheTDI never say never! 💪
You guys got emotional over this? Lol
I can't stop coming back for more. Just a work of art. The car and the content. Great job guys.
ikr have watched it like 15 times now
Saw my first one in person today. Just incredible. And because of this video, I could hear it while it was sitting silent in the dealership.
Just watched this again because it popped up on my feed and I…..legit got teary eyed at the sheer beauty of the LFA, the passion from James & Thomas, the sounds of that engine screaming, the cinematography by the team. This is what my childhood memories of car sounds accumulating into the BEST sound I’ve ever heard. Thank you TH.
You know the car is amazing when both Thomas and James looks like they're about to cry driving it.
And ngl, I know next to nothing about cars but when I heard that sound, I understood what Harrison felt.
about to cry ?? no sir, they fizzed in their pants is what happened. One of the top regrets of my life that I am yet to drive one.
i hope las Vegas rental car or someone in Cali have one, pay around 300-400 dlls to drive it around 15 min... i can say idfc best money spent
tell me your watching LFA sound compilation now😂😂
not gonna lie when I first heard this car that's what I did for next 2 days this one and the Lamborghini Murcielago RGT and the Porsche Carrera GT
This video is their opus.
@@am0eba168 I did after watching this vid. It's now my favorite sound along with the R8 v10
19:30 yooo that whole outro especially L F A with the downshifts, goosebumps all over. well done editor, excellent
That ending could make a grown man shed a single tear
It’s sad I remember how bad they talked about this car when it launched. Never gave it a real chance. But now as all the car lovers that gets emotional when we seeing and hearing this car. We understood then , even more now. This is a special car. Imagine a Leno in the future reviewing this car. I’m glad to be a witness today. Awesome video.
They said “it revs your heart” & they meant it!
Thank you yamaha!! 🎵
19:33 _downshift_ *L* _downshift_ *F* _downshift_ *A*
I got chills... what a car. A true masterpiece of engineering.
The vid was beautiful
The day Throttle House surpassed "old" Top Gear in production, filmography, writing, engagement and emotion was today. I take my hat off for Thomas, James and the crew at Throttle House. This is some of the best 20 minutes of video I have ever seen, period. I have never had this much goose bumps from a review before, this was truly an awesome piece of automotive journalism 🤩Wow, simply wow.
This production doesn’t even come close to Jeremy Richard and Hammond. Did you even see their LFA episode? Please stop saying dumb things on the internet, this was great but not in the realm of those boys.
@@bobbythomas6520 Well who is saying dumb things on the internet now? 🙈 This video is three times the length of Top Gear's video, so yes this has more and better production etc packed into one video. And considering the budgetary gap here, this hands down beats Top Gear - yeah it's not even close!
@@KrisRifa 3 times the length and still not as good
@@KrisRifa and the LFA episode was definitely longer than like 7 minutes lmfao. Even with them doing guests lmaooo you’re a total tard never have children
@@KrisRifa yeah it’s not close because this isn’t as good lmaooooo
The presentation of this car..... there are no words of how really great you guys and your team did. 💙 Beyond blissful. That sounds is heavenly
That sound sends shivers down my spine legit...the down shifting just sounds...amazing
“My only regret… we had to flip a coin and stupid James got to drive first…” 🤣😂🤣 That line was brilliant!
The last downshifts into the "L F A" had me in tears. There will never be another car like this. It's all EVs in the near future
Straight up! I was sitting there like why am I crying?!
idk why. this is my first time nearly tearing up over a car. nothing like this has ever happened to me
I'm glad I'm not the only one that was feeling that way like why do I have water eyes right now over a car review. But it was beautifully done and an amazing car.
One more downshift at the end and I’d have drop a tear. Glad I’m not the only one, cheers to all
Bruh literallly in tears
This is the greatest video on my favorite car i've ever watched in 32 years of my life. Thank you for this experience Throttle House. I've watched this over 10 times and the music, the ambience, the sound and your expressions in each moment, bring tears of joy. I don't know if you both will ever read this but I met you at this year's Safe Auto Meet 2023 and brought my LC500 In that Infrared. Thomas and James, you have both become my idols in the automotive world and I will forever be grateful for your passion and enthusiasm for cars. Thank you once again !🙏🏻
i could watch this video 100 times over, you've encompassed everything about this car perfectly. Even if owning one is a pipe dream for me, i cannot wait to see one in person one day
I found out about this car by seeing one om person back in 2019. Didn't know at the time how big of a fan I would become.
This brought familiar feelings that only Top Gear has given me.
To the entire team of Throttle House..
Well done.
Thank you.
which is nearly impossible these days...i felt it too
Yep same here…this is the feeling “old” Top Gear gave me…and that I never thought I’d experience again honestly.
These guys and their team on on too greatness!
I believe Harrison gave 200% his energy for the sounds, and LFA totally deserves it.
Another awesome episode guys!
And still he did not get to drive it. :(

This is by far my favorite car review video. Just amazing! Damn near brought a tear to my eyes when I heard that exhaust. Just amazing fellas!
This video is award-winning; writing, directing, cinematography, audio, emotion, all perfect for a legendary piece of automotive history
Jeremy Clarkson made a profound comment after reviewing this super icon, "the LFA is sos good so much that not even the people that made it at Toyota know how to do it, again" how class is that ending, the most epic thing I've seen in motoring journalism...
@Super Genius he was driving a yellow one...let's not forget to give props to yamaha for homologating that exhaust note..

THANK YOU GUYS for bringing me closer to understanding what this driving experience must be like. Big fan of the show & this was far and away my favorite episode👌🏼
Happy Motoring!
This is the best videos you guys have produced. I don't know how you captured this sound. It gave me goose bumps just hearing that éngine and the drifts.
As electric cars become a common thing.
People will remember for decades that cars used to have a soul and the driver and the car are connected through an immersive experience
The LFA will remain a testament to an era of mechanical art that's already seeing its sunset. Watching these cars run now is like watching your love in their best years, still strong, alive and beautiful. I'm sure similar wistfulness has been expressed for various standouts across eras. Well, this one is ours.

@@gopalreddy5667 Kind of you to reply.
Beautiful bro
@@jordandevereux6835 Thank you, inspired by the car of course.
That "sunset" depends on if we can get carbon-free fuels in quantity. I think a future where we get to reuse the engines we've built is probably a faster outcome then electrifying everything - and maybe a bit more fun.
This is literally, and I mean that in the most genuine way possible, THE best car review video ever made.
word!
Top Gear P1 with Clarkson is pretty epic too.
Yes by faaar!! And i wached many topgears and others everyday . God a tear comming then i realised broh keep calm its a car😅Blessedthis team🙏🏿
This is the best car review I’ve ever watched!
Just phenomenal!
At the end where L F A came on each downshift was legendary!!!!
Everyone in the comments have said everything I would say!

I Agree
You guys deserve to carry on the legacy of Clarkson, Hammond, and May
Never thought about that.... but its true! My brain now demands a cross over!
I don't think any trio would be as legendary as those 3 idiots. they're like the godfathers of car journalists😅
I think it would be better to stop comparing every good car journalists to those 3. It's almost annoying now.
Every good video of cars have a comment like this one. They have their own space, their own style, their own place. No need to compare with other guys. And I'm not trying to be rude or something, I just think a lot of journalists have their own place, no need to be the shadow of others.
@@nikobellic737 well said
@@nikobellic737 Exactly!
It is genuinely these type of videos that are the reason why I have been subscribed to this incredible team for so long. With such amazing production, it's almost criminal that this isn't a TV show. Thomas, James and the rest of the crew have worked hard to get to this point and the quality really reflects that grind
TV is duying slowly bro thats why yt exist
Throttle House is too sacred to be on TV.
I don’t think a throttle house tv show would be the same, there’s always a middle man that fcks something up. This is raw content compared to a network series
It is the best RUclips channel ever. They NEED a TV show.
@@themostbeautifulworldever NO, please not... TV is far too comercialized... Maybe a Netflix series, but i dont think TV would do their channel justice
This is by far my favourite video and it’s 2 years old, keep up the great work.
I can’t contain myself for feeling so nostalgic about Lexus not making another version of this magnificent engineering before making it completely electric. The world deserves a second generation LFA with that glorious F1 exhaust sound. Those great detailed, well refined lines and above all, the feeling that car leaves behind on a true car enthusiast.
Top gear said it the best the LFA was so good not even Lexus knows how to do it again
@@neo4102Ayumu Uehara and her great friend, Shioriko Mifune both secretly also own the LFA.
The intro montage looks like it’s taken straight out of Top Gear. Especially with the vignette. So many good memories
Better than Top Gear.
What makes both stands out is how both the guys can love a supercar that just too whole for this world. Thomas and James looks like nearly cried driving this, and Clarkson excuses a new Lexus back then just to get the LFA on the talk for the rest of his show. Pretty awesome.
This was emotional. Can't fake the utter respect and awe these boys have over that car.
Lexus created an automotive mic drop with this beast.
I loved the fact that the sound of the car was the one of the most if not the most important point of the video.
Even when James is talking the engine sound is not muted or decreased...oh the bellowing..
LFA looks its best from rear three quarters. From this angle you can see the three exhaust tips.
"Master has given Dobby an LFA!" truly a wonderful sentence
It really is crazy how everyone who drives this says its the best car they have ever driven. It must really be that good. I know I’ll probably never drive it but i really hope i somehow do
Crazy how almost everybody hated it at first. Said it was slower than everything it ran up against. Hated it's slow gear shifts etc. Remember like it was yesterday. It's amazing to see how these same people have come around.
@@JamaicanMeCrazy LFA was faster than any car made before it at the track. LFA broke the lap record at the Ring. Faster than any production car before it including McLaren F1, Enzo, Porsche, Zonda, Veyron, Lambo etc

@@MsTiagosk8 You're wrong. LFA production years was 2011 to 2013. LFA broke the ring record in 2011. As I said LFA faster on the track than any McLaren F1, Enzo, Ferrari, Porsche, Zonda, Veyron, Lambo made before it and even the year after it started production.
@@oot007 You're too quick to call people wrong without doing some research, you think I don't know about the Ring record ? It was the Nürburgring editon LFA and Motortrend said it was actually the 4th fastest time, all this is easy to find ☺️
that last part with the downshift spelling out L F A gave me goosebumps! thank you Throttle House.
I got so many chills watching this video. What a vibe! The light rain along with the leaves falling made the perfect setting for this wonderful car.
Brings back memories of watching Clarkson drive it all those years ago, that sound will forever be iconic!
I remember watching that episode so vividly. The fact that the tac has to be digital because an analog tac couldn’t keep up with the speed the engine revs is insane. How could I forget
Hammond really didnt know what he was talking about then. His review was scathing
I was thinking back on the downshifts to Clarkson saying it sounded like an animal with it's paw trapped. Ow.....ow.....ow.
When Toyota sets its collective mind into creating a world-class car, it doesn't disappoint. If they had only treated the Supra to an all-Toyota effort. Great video.
It would have been an incredible car, no doubt. But fact is, that Supra would be a bad seller too :(
@@shahjalalalamabir5393 also as Toyota stated a fully in house developed Supra would have costed $90k
@@patrickmartin3322 at least it would’ve been good
If Toyota had actually taken the route of completely rebuilding the Supra from scratch then it wouldn’t have been cost effective considering how many they would’ve had to sell to justify the price tag. They had their reasoning for letting BMW basically do most of work for it, but it is a shame that as of now (in the US), the fastest vehicle Toyota makes which is actually from Toyota is the RAV4 prime. I’m assuming the new Tundra with the 3.5 liter twin turbo V6 and hybrid will be faster, but as of now, the fastest actual Toyota is a hybrid CUV (in the US). I don’t think it matters too much though. People don’t buy Toyotas because they think they’re fun to drive (the new lineup is actually pretty nice) or because they’re jam packed with all of these new features which a majority of people will never even use regularly. They buy these cars because they know it will last them a very long time with little to no trouble, and nobody wants to go out of their way to spend money on products that just don’t last
What about the GR Yaris?
How many times I have to watch this video to get bored .. all the respect to you guys
Not only the best car channel with the best entertainment channel. I wanted to join you as you knock down those gears.

this deserves an emmy award - the cinematography, the shots, the angles, the music, the narrative, all in unison to truly depict how epic the LFA really is. remarkable.
nah fr
I’ve rewatched this video so many times just for the exhaust sound thank you
I think you guys enjoyed making this video more than any other, but gosh I enjoyed it so mush! LFA is my favorite car by far and I really enjoy your reviews but this is in another level. It is so emotional, so beautiful, so artistic. This review shows how capable you guys and your team are of making exceptional videos as Lexus showed how capable they are of making the most beautiful, amazing, perfect car ever. Thank you.
Still the BEST and MOST beautiful engine sound EVER. There's no other like it....
Word
Yea ppl compare it to Carrera GT which i feel just screams at high frequency like the engine is about to blow up but this makes a more refined deeper noise throughout the rev range.
@@dheerajmurthy393 Lexus worked with Yamaha on the exhaust if I’m not mistaken. And that sound is heavenly

I know that I already made comments here but I can’t stop watching this video… The Intro, the production, the Sound of the video (Thanks to Harrison obviously) and cinematography…. The funny too… It’s simply amazing!!!
This is one of the best, if not THE BEST videos I ever seen!!! Respect to Tomas, Jamas, Harrison, and the entire THROTTLE HOUSE Team!
I come back to this review every few months. Undoubtedly the best car review ever done on RUclips. Great photography, sound and pure joy pervaded by you two is fantastic and uplifting to watch.😊
You know a car is legendary when people are still talking about it some 10 years after it come out, what an incredible piece of machinery
And to think that it was in the production stage for just as long.
