Lexus LF-A engine sound

[dawheat]

Sounds too much like a Ferrari imitation. No originality whatsoever.

Nope - I don't know how anyone would think that unless you think all supercars sound the same. Ferrari's this decade sound much deeper - IMO to their slight detriment. The F355 IMO is still the best sounding V8 road Ferrari. This V10 sounds amazing and is unique for a road car.

I bet that you could also drive this regularly without something breaking, leaking, wearing out, etc every 5K miles like a F430.

OP's link just sounds like a short stroke high revving engine. doesn't have any of the character of an italian, imo.

The engine is definitely a screamer. 4.8 liter V10, 552 HP @ 8700 RPM, fuel cutoff @ 9500 RPM.

9500 rpm - wow...personally think that car is pretty sick. FYI, for all Lexus fans, Lexus Magazine is now online. Doing some work with them - they've got all the latest vehicle news and insider info if you're interested.

I love the sound of this engine. Not that it's playing the song, which is cool, just the sound of the engine's throaty/raspy growl.

It looks like a next gen Supra. The rice boi's should go crazy for it, lol. Truth be told, it's about time Lexus built themselves a super car. Every other luxury brand out there has had one. BMW with their M-series, Mercedes with the AMG and SLR Mclaren, Jaguar with the XK and so on. Even Nissan has one which I'm sure they'll roll over to their Infinity brand and remove all the rough edges and call it a G38 or something.

The parts on the track are over produced. Like what a student does when instantly having access to a big budget.
