Is it just me or is the video not loading anymore? It was fine last night. Must be the huge wave of hits on the LF-A video dragging Edmunds' video server down.

My first and last name initials are F and A. 
Clearly this car was made for me and vice versa.
I am therefore stuck with having to buy one and put an appropriate number plate on this thing.

As requested, though I don't want to hijack this thread. What I really want is a picture of MY LF-A next to MY Murci. Hopefully, some day.

BTW, can you hear the air rushing in as it is sucked into those huge air intakes on both sides of the car?

Actually, the bat wings only extend under certain circumstances, controlled by the computer in the car (over 90F and less than 100mph, if the car engine temp goes above a certain point, amongst others).
Now tires that big are very loud. When idling the car makes more noise than my LS430UL does when I floor it. There's a lot to be said for soundproofing.

The car sounds simply amazing. That engine sounds like a monster, and I fully expect Lexus to use a sequential manual based on F1 technology. When this car is unveiled and then in dealerships, it will be a very big deal.
Also noticed at the beginning of the video was a Supra. Toyota likely was comparing the LF-A's performance to a Supra.
