Not hard, but I can honestly say I love every car in that collection! So many amazing cars, it is dream land! That 997 Turbo manual in black I would have in a heartbeat!
Thxs - Millenium Heroes / Octane are a fantastic operator. I purchased one of their " more accessible" cars .. The service I received felt like I was buying that LFA. 👍
Excellent video TGE & truly enjoyed watching your Lexus LFA film & nice the black edition was an right hand drive vehicle which as you said are extremely rare to see on For Sale in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧.
national geographic did a documentary about the designing and making of this car was amazing to see the level of attention to detail .I thought this car was ugly until I saw one in real life .Gorgeous car a Japanese masterpiece
The creation of the 1LR-GUE V10 was led by Lexus' chief engine designer, Okamoto Takamitsu. The engine starts life at Toyota's Myochi plant, where the engine block is made from molten aluminum. The block is then sent to Toyota's Honsha factory, the same facility that used to house Toyota's F1 engine operations. Here, the block gets milled, drilled, and polished, emerging as a precise engine block. In a sealed room, Takumis hone every sharp edge using precision polishing tools. After this, a highly skilled Takumi pre-assembles the finished engine blocks to check for precise fitment. Disassembled, they travel as a unit to Yamaha's Iwata city plant. It is at this plant that four highly skilled Yamaha Takumis fully assemble the V10. This process takes 2.5 days for one engine. Before the engine gets installed in an LFA, it undergoes a half day of exhaustive testing.
these are a pretty rare case I think of where the machine itself exceeds the badge. In that sort of money a Lexus badge is never going to carry the same sex appeal as a Ferrari etc - but the LFA is a brand all of its own that does stand with those names.
G500: You. Rezvani Hercules: The guy she told you not to worry about. I could see you in one, Tom. Causing all kinds of chaos. Decent spec, all in? Circa £400k.
Dont understand the 2 year servicing suggestion. The fact that it's a Lexus means diddly squat. Any oil degrades after 5k miles so that would be a maximum interval, or annually, whichever is first. If you have the money to buy one, why would you cut corners servicing it?
Its the iconic sound of the raging 550hp naturally aspirated 4.8L V10 motor contained within that beast that does it for me. Symphony of pure orgasmic harmony that thing. And then we talk about values. Values have ⏫️ 🚀 gone to space. Absolute winner this thing. You'd of won buying one when you got the Carerra GT.
😂😂😂😂 that POV camera gear arrangement thingy is outrageous. More of that please.
😂 it’ll come back
My head says CGT, heart says LFA. Wallet says neither. Great video!
‘His TDF’ and the face afterwards is a quality bit of content 😂😂😂😂
Never thought id see a child and a dalek in an LFA. Brilliant
😂
Tom your best video yet. The LFA is perfection 👌the camera looks impressive too 👍
Tom inside an LFA with a phone right in front of his face. Chaos! Also, the sound that car makes is mayhem
Tom was right… this was a HONKING video 🤌🏻
Yes lad!
Not hard, but I can honestly say I love every car in that collection!
So many amazing cars, it is dream land!
That 997 Turbo manual in black I would have in a heartbeat!
Haha that contraption on your head was hilarious but that LFA is chaos . Super cool
Really enjoyed that Tom. Well done mate. 👍😎
Thxs - Millenium Heroes / Octane are a fantastic operator. I purchased one of their " more accessible" cars .. The service I received felt like I was buying that LFA. 👍
Top guys!
I can listen to that V10 sound all day long 🔥🔥
LFA next to a CGT in the garage would be CHAOS!! Glad to see these type of uploads coming back around Tom🍻
I guess I have CHAOS then….
@@ByeEnzo good call, I appreciate your taste
Brilliant Tom. What a car. An absolute dream car of mine. Soooo cool 😎
Absolutely love the watch brilliant and the LFA oh My Goodness keep winning TGE Thank you
LFA vs CGT noise test needed
CGT’s are recalled and not allowed on the roads atm so maybe I can go back to octane for a rev off but not sure that’s a thing
ship it to america, they let anything on the road here, and I know someone with an LFA Nurburgring here in Salt lake ;) @@TGE
Excellent video TGE & truly enjoyed watching your Lexus LFA film & nice the black edition was an right hand drive vehicle which as you said are extremely rare to see on For Sale in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧.
Love the SeenThroughGlass set up 😅
What a sound you wouldn’t get bored with that
More of this please Tom.
I won't skip ads to sweeten the deal. ❤
Thank you! Noted 🫡
That LFA in the black would be amazing sat next to your Porsche CGT.
Best sounding car ever ! Close call with the Carrera gt
Agreed!
Hmmmmmmmm CGT with exhaust is 💥💥💥💥
@@TGE let’s face it if your lucky enough to own one , you are living the dream ! Well done mate
Love Japanese cars, and LFA is the boss
Serious video this is 💯 Tom a real G 🙌🏾
Phenomenal V10 sound, in a class of it's own!! £1000 for service every 2 years, unbelievable collectors car, POV Camera 🤣😂
I'd actually say the LFA would be more similar to the SLR McLaren than the Carrera GT just with the front engine/rwd layout. Seriously epic machine 👌
This POV thing is hilarious 😂
national geographic did a documentary about the designing and making of this car was amazing to see the level of attention to detail .I thought this car was ugly until I saw one in real life .Gorgeous car a Japanese masterpiece
Great video Tom. Total dream car. Just wish I knew where I could put a drink!
A sensational drive.

That is absolutely NUTS! I want one!!
That head cam is HELL!
Reason for digital dash was that an analogue needle wasn't fast enough to match the speed of the revs rising
That’s WILD
A symphony of sound,🙌🙌
His face when you held the gear to hear it 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Indeed a HONKING video!
🥸🥸
27:06 They drive on the left side of the road in Japan FYI.
Tom it looks sick mate
Wtf is honking, good to c u getting into proper cars , brother ,after the gt!👌👊🤝👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Stonking... Honking, it's all the same
Love a long TGE video.
🫡
we need more pov TGE !!!
Amazing 😊
Whoa…. That 205 GTI in Red ❤
LFA would be a great investment. What a noise 😊
these are a pretty rare case I think of where the machine itself exceeds the badge. In that sort of money a Lexus badge is never going to carry the same sex appeal as a Ferrari etc - but the LFA is a brand all of its own that does stand with those names.
Cool car, amazing sound...but nowhere near a CGT. Btw what about the lancers... ;)
There is a LFA hybrid V8 replacement coming very soon
Who said this?!
That is a weapon..Tom that is definitely a bit of you😃
6:37 ring alarm ‼️
Do u think its true when people say the LFA's interior is cheap and it sounds monotone?
Don’t really agree with either of those things! Judge for yourself though in this video!
When are you taking the wrap off , and telling us the story lad
This week!
Fredwood from the gentleman driving 😂😂😂
Great camera that.
🫡
Given me the notion to get my v10 out of its two year hibernation…OK, not a CGT, LFA or Hurricane/R8…but still has the screamer v10! (M6)
Manual conversion and eisenmann exhaust pls sir
Its an amazing engineering piece, but it doesnt have anything on looks vs CGT.
I do not care about the car or the sound, only the hilarious Iphone camera arrangement. Please use it again haha you are the man.
😂🫡
Can you put that on Crisps head?
Clarkson's favorite car
LFA is superb..
G500: You. Rezvani Hercules: The guy she told you not to worry about. I could see you in one, Tom. Causing all kinds of chaos. Decent spec, all in? Circa £400k.
Just buy one!!!
Imagine walking around London with an iPhone strapped to your hand. To be fair, the quality is excellent
It would be gone within seconds! 😂
How many dash cams do I need to order to fill the LFA fund?
😂 I don’t get commission so don’t feel you need to bother tbh
Japan drives on the left. with right hand drive cars. excellent video. LFA would be my choice over a carrera gt all day
Was it worth it to meet your hero Tom?
This time yes! Isn’t always

“His TDF”
nice
Driving it with the POV cam on was probs asking too much?!
😂 probably/definitely illegal
Sorry mate but sounds like you phoned it in doing the stats , still a great vid on rare motor 😊😊😊
F does that mean? If you mean reading them out - I did. So what 😂
Tom, Have you ever driven a Senna? Would love to see you test driving one of those.. Though i do know your opinions of McLaren hahahaha
I’d actually like to drive one. And I’m not averse to them anymore…
@@TGE Senna and or a 765LT 🫡
29:29 😭
POV F1 Halo is Chaoos 🤣
The only thing that’s a letdown on these modern classics for me are the automatic- manual gearboxes. Cutting edge at the time, they didn’t age well.
I would rather have a CGT any day off the week
Your powers of the universe won’t let this be better than the CGT, even if it is. It’s a unicorn car
CASH😊
E90 has got 4 doors, not 5. 😉
Very boring comment
Nice car, but I'd take the CGT over the LFA every time.
Peugeot 205 gti cooler than the bmw
JWW comment ☠🤣" "
Ignore the 2 evo,s wot ya scared of 🤣🤣🤣
10-year old tyres are an MoT failure!
😴
