Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! TH-cam's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's very special 100,000 subscriber special, I present the 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition.
While initially the LFA was only able to be leased, with the 2012 model, they are available for purchase.
Base price starts around $375,000
The Nürburgring takes it up a notch to a starting price of around $445,000
During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth educational videos of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today.

Maybe not the fastest , but one of the most beautiful exhaust sound.
it can still get to 212 MPH
@@MilitristRB Correct
@@MilitristRB which is fast but nothing compare to fastest car there
Fucking Luxury Race Car. The level of detail is crazy.. even the seat controls look badass. That V10 is a work of art
The best car to ever come out of Japan by far.
+Toyota4Life I Agree! Totally!! #JDM4LIFE
I made a Lexus joke in front of my girlfriends dad when i first met him because she told me he likes cars and he took me to his garage and this is what i see sitting in his garage...
Oh didnt you feel like an ass
rly
Sadly not but hopefully one day
can you tell us the joke you said?
Cool story, bruh 🙄
The older it gets, the more amazing it becomes. It has been 10 years since I saw one and over the 10 years span I haven’t found a better supercar than this classic LFA. It’s just amazing.
It truly is unbelieveable that the engine can rev from 0-9000 rpm in .6 seconds, Toyota and Lexus definitely didn't waste those 9 years of development on the car
To those people who think the digital tachometer is too slow to keep up with the revs, he explains in an annotation that the audio was not in sync with the video. Go to 28:13 and you'll hear the sound of the passenger door closing before he actually closes the door.
If I could have any 2 cars I wanted... id take 2 LFA's. 1 to drive.. and 1 to park in my living room.
omwtfyb probably for that price why not 😎
One to rock one to stock!!! Love this car so much.
I’d own 4... 2 Nurburgring editions and 2 normal ones except 2 LFA s gotta stay home in the garage.
My fav v10 sounds.
Viper
LFA
Legendary car, some of the most intricate and impressive engineering in automotive history.
You truly did this car justice. People are so obsessed with numbers these days that no one truly looks at all of the stunning attention to detail and all of the R&D and money put into making it an unparalleled ownership experience. The quality, fit, finish and engineering are stunning.
It would have been nice to mention the Lexus LFA Nurburgring record (on street non racing compound tires of 7:14, which is the quickest lap ever by a car that is not wearing Michelin Cup racing compound tires.
Just a reminder that this car is 10 seconds faster around the Nurburgring than a 911 GT3 RS. And the LFA has a radio and A/C and all sorts of other heavy stuff the GT3 doesn't.
OneTallOrder Porsche has 3 cars in the Top 7 fastest production car lap times around the ring. The Porsche 911 GT3 ( non RS) is 7th so you are incorrect.
Trey S the only one who is incorrect is you the comment was upload 3 years ago at this time the only porsche that was faster than the LFA N package was the 918 !!!
Adrian Popescu You are speaking true my friend! And 918 has soo much more power and it's Hybrid
Of Course 1.7 Million Car
And that was with factory tires to my knowledge
Absolute dream car!
+GBThoughts that right mine too i take one in dark blue
Was working at a job sight in a upscale neighborhood, and I see this 18 year old pull out of the driveway in a LFA, man did that thing give me goosebumps when he revved that engine up.
Just amazing!
The best Lexus ever made SUPERCARS!!
Damn!! Dream car!
Best sounding car ever made hands down!! V10 9000rpm with unbeat Lexus reliability is why its expensive than other luxury car makers and I wouldn't doubt that it still gets like 20mpg LMAO CTFU LOL that's how it should be when u pay for an exclusive and expensive car to begin with
God bless u for the facts. My real dream car. In my area, this beast mostly around 100k used highest ive seen was 200k
@@TheDonYG 100k for a LFA...?
@@TheDonYG thses cars are anywhere from half a million to over 2 million on the market right now
@@MLProductions.1 three years ago I saw few LFAs in my area in northern VA that were around 150k-200 or 300 at most.
@@TheDonYG hmm look it up now increased in value like crazy. I have a hard time believing 150k. Brand New off the lot they had gained value
How are people complaining about loud engine sounds. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?
Narek T. Ikr. Its a fucking v10 what do you expect
I suspect they're what your fellow countrymen call "Karen's".
@@lukespector5550 damn lol I was 15 when I wrote that
Sounds like an F1.
***** Well, no it's not.
dalljalma2 sound better than f1
@@lukus22 avg german nerd
such a beautiful sound, eargasm
What a piece of engineering. I love the V10 quick rev and that awesome digital dash. Great vids as always saabkyle. & Congrats on your Phd...
That has to be the most awesome engine rev I've ever heard.
Amazing amazing masterpiece of a car
The interior is perfection. Such a beautiful and amazing place to be in and put that together with that 9500 rpm F1 V10 engine and incredible handing, it is no wonder the greatest car ever to have come out of Japan.
The first 20 seconds of this video is all i needed
Pursuit of Perfection at its best.
That red interior with the carbon fiber looks sick.
My favorite car
That startup always gives me goosebumps
Extraordinary description of the car by an extraordinary human I love it
Agreed. The fact that LFA did a 7:14 when it carries the weight of so much luxury and also is focused on experience than numbers and without using racing slick super slick compound tires commands the highest respects from the TRUE enthusiasts.
It is a no compromise exclusive exotic supercar like the mega factory episode showed. It was intended to be a racing car with an F1 V10 9500 rpm engine without giving up all of the luxuries and the experience of driving a proper racing car.
This isn't the best sounding car, no no, this is the best sounding thing!
I know this is a 5 year old comment, but dude I see you everywhere or at least used to. I might have even said that to one of your comments a couple years ago too.
That start up sounds amazing
The startup sound and engine sound are literally eargasms.
I am so in love with this supercar. A Ferrari and Lamborghini are faster and arguably more stylish but at the end of the day this is a dependable Lexus that's also extremely fun. After seeing Kyle's impeccable walk-through, I've come to the conclusion that Lexus set out to make a headache free supercar.
The LFA has handling and grip few cars can match, and it's incredibly agile because it weighs less than 3300 pounds. Its engine sounds amazing, and revs to 9000 rpm, making good use of its close ratio transmission, making its nuburgring lap time is only 7:14, which beats the Lamborghini Aventador, Bugatti Veyron, Nissan GT-R, Audi R8, Mercedes SLS AMG GT/Black Series, Lamborghini Gallardo, and all but 6 cars. The LFA also took 10 yrs of development to create, its 65% carbon fiber, and only 500 were made. LFA's are amazing even tho there are some flaws we spot
Thank you man for your videos, i like them .. it's nice to discover these jewels closely !
Even the cranking up sounds amazing
love how composed the engine stays when revving it.
9:10 I think that is the first time Kyle has ever said "um" in his narrations
He's so impressed with the car
+Xplosion51 stfu
+Xplosion51 RACIST! STFU
+Xplosion51 lol every1 is takin the b8
+Xplosion51 Lol, they make this troll life we live so easy.
The sound is epic!
The sounds of this car idle are all in key. Insane.
better sound and nicer than the r35!
This the Carrera GT and SLR McLaren engine sounds are my favorite ever.
Then you have not listen tot he Aston Martin Vulcan at full swing!
ugh that exhaust note 😍😍😍👌❤
Loving this exotic beauty and excellent video as usual Saabkyle
It's not discontinued, it's special made order only now
Does that car come with cup holders or does that cost extra?
Amazing exhaust! One of the best definitely.
Sir, I just wanted to say your vids are amazing!! What a perfect job you have!! I stumbled upon your 2013 GranTurismo MC vid while researching what Maserati to buy and your excellent and informative analysis has been the deciding factor. I whole heartedly thank you for educating me. I got the exact MC as you detailed. Except I have a red illuminated trident on the front clip.
Thank you again and you have a most loyal and devoted fan who is passing the word about your channel!
One of the ONLY LEXUS vehicles I actually don't mind.
Idk man, the new LC500 is sex
The 1st gen is300s are amazing too
I adore every Lexus.
I own a 2008 GS350 and love it, sexy and fast as hell
Toyota’s two best cars
LFA and Supra 😘😘
Just a beautiful piece of art.
One of the best sounding cars ever.
They used an electronic tach because an analogue couldn't keep up..... I don't think the electronic one can either lmao
its a glitch with the video... he put an annotation to clarify
Toyota says that it has a digital gauge because a regular gauge wouldn't keep up
couldn't get enough of that exhaust sound
Sounds incredible.
it's sad that Lexus lose money with every LFA they sell
The LFA is no longer in production.
Why?
said torres because it was too expensive to make and it was show car
Dear Santa...
I never appreciated supercars. They just appeared to me like basically the same. Huge amount of power, crazy handling, exclusivity and more but always looked like soulless machines. For me the soul of a car is the memories you build in it but i might admit that this car looks like having one from the start. I owned expensive and fast cars in the past and always came back to old common cars because of the soul and history it had. I would definitively give a chance to an LFA. I'm affraid i'll have to content myself knowing i fuel filled one, which is already way more near of the car most people will ever be. Thank you so much for this very complete and detailed video. You showed the everyday aspect of it, not just the supercar in it :)
Ohh loved that sound 😍😍
And still doesn't have a cup holder
And this is why you are not a comedian.
jpat gon , who says I wanted to be a comedian ?
jpat gon , woahh , chill , no need to bring out nasty words ;)
^fuckin pussies
TheBuzz379 , you funny man
Aventador SV or LFA Nurburgring? I love both, but the price just a kills the LFA
Aventador SV isn't as special as this. Only 50 Nurburgring editions of this were made, and there are Aventadors all over. Thousands of them even if they aren't SV's. So many special edition Aventadors.
I would take this over an SV, p1, and laferrari. Combined
2jzandy s Not p1 and laferrari.They are simply better.
You have the best car videos on TH-cam. I really enjoy your material!
Very informative for the user's end. Thank you very much for the video.
For that price the key should've been made out of gold
I agree you would think they would have thought of a better key but at the end of the day it's still a lexus, even has the standard lexus chime sound.
What do you mean by that? That lexus is cheap? Not at all diesel boy
DieselDemon18 the real key is made from carbon fibre and titanium
look it up
Dan lee Making money was not there goal for this car , it was to make a name for themselves.
Well have fun with your Lamborghini that will blow up after some thousands of kilometeres.... Or have fun with your Koenninsegg that's extremely overpriced. At least Lexus is japanese engineering which makes it a reliable car beside the italian engineering when your ferrari's engine simply blows up.
TAKE A BREATH. Your voice makes me feel so uncomfortable for some reason...
hahahaha
Hahahahahahaha
Great narrative. Very thorough. Nice work.
My dream car :( absolutely incredible Japanese craftsmanship
So my comments are all shit, got to drive one and it was really awesome.
your really lucky to get to drive one
yet no god damn cupholders
Oh that engine spooling up!
One of the best sounds car ever
this car is a masterpiece
$445,000 car and that's the type of key you get.... Wow
Ferraris get a red plastic key too, I don't see anyone bitching about that.
awesome!The diamond in the world of car!
such a beautiful supercar, best I've ever seen :P
wow terrible lag in the tachometer...
yeah, almost 2 sec of delay, bad mistake.
Pedro Bittencourt If you guys had annotations on you would have found out it was just the video fucking up, lol if you really think a supercar would have such a rudimentary problem, the point of the electronic tach was so it could actually keep up with the revs.
It depends on how you tune the meter, it can be changed to precision, race, etc.
Phoenixlover822 they're referring to the video and sound not syncing up which made it look like the tach was lagging behind but it was just *****'s video, the tach works fine has nothing to do with the tach settings..
it cant keep up with how fast the engine revs thats what i was told
Beautiful car. But 450,000 for only 550 horse power?
560*
You're not paying for the horsepower.... You're paying for the engineering and craftsmanship. And it's 375K not 450.
The damn car is a work of art!
You're paying for the japanese engineering lol, i wouldn't care if the thing had 400 hp i know that thing is art :)
+CorkyBurrito Yes they lost money off of this car because that's how much they spent on research and development and clearly you don't understand the words engineering and craftsmanship to say what you said... To each their own but at least have some respect for this car and what a masterpiece it is.
That Review was great, I watched the whole thing!
amazing review, thank you so much!
0-60 in 3.6 seconds is slow lol
ExeKuTioN Cro please leave
ExeKuTioN Cro how the fuck is the 3 second range slow?
The LFA took 10 years to develop, so while technology advanced, it started to fall behind. But it's still a beauty.
Matt Aventador is 2.9 seconds, Porsche 918 is 2.6 seconds, 911 turbo s is 3.1 seconds, even the Murcielago LP640 from 2006 is faster (3.4 seconds). Heck even the first GT-R was faster in 2008 with 3.5 seconds 0-100. And GT-R cost 80.000$. Sorry but 3.6 seconds is just slow for THIS kind of car.
Lexus has never planned to build a car for outright speed.....it's the experience. Ask Jeremy Clarkson and he'll say the LFA is the best car he ever driven.
I think the fixed wing is bullshit.
it looks bullshit at first but let it sink it and you find how beautiful it is
same here
+Black Man It's Nürburgring Edition, so basically it's a GT3 car ready on tracks and it's way more capable of providing more down force.
You see every GT3/GT4 tuned car has big fixed wing instead of fancy small auto-rising wing, right?
JimRaynor2001
I think it's ugly. That's all I'm saying. Also this isn't a GT3 car.
It doesn't name it. But it's tuned specific for tracks. Big wing is needed just like other track cars. You see Porsche 911 GT3 RS4.0, McLaren 650S GT3 and P1 GTR?
IT'S REALLY REALLY REALLY AMAZING CAR SENSE OF THE WORD
my favorite car of all time
R35 is cheaper and better
Not realy
Not better just cheaper. lol
I am a GTR fan as well. GTR of course is one of the best supercars in the martket, but I have to say. GTR might have better performance, but it is no way GTR is better than the LFA. LFA is not only about performance. it is the artwork which toyota engineer took 10 years on it, just listen to that exhaust note sound just like a F1. We have to face it, LFA is the best car made in Japan's history.
Feng Zhang Lexus is American.
BMX Kid r u just kidding? Then Obama is Japanese.
That exhaust note is music to my ears!
such a sweet ride
Sweet God oh God that red interior just looks soooo sweet. Makes me melt.
Best sounding car ever
wow that is a Beast Lexus LFA Looks Boss
excellent, keep the good work bro
This... This is my dream car. I don't know if I need the Nurburgring edition but I really really really want to own one these one day
Same...Nurburgring edition too
i love the lexus lfa it's a great car i love the sound!
One of my first dream car...😍
I love the little tray for your passenger to roll up on
Looooove This Car!
This thing is amazing

Beautiful Lexus. I love the LFA the most out of all super cars.
