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 higly modifiedSupra.

I would at least hope that it wasn't stock.

The Supra is a great car but if the LF-A was being tested against the Supra, it would be a little disheartening to say the least.

I really think a V10 is by far the best engine choice for that car (unless someone would like to stuff the Audi R10 LMP1 diesel engine in it - Now that's dreaming.) Now make it reliable and sexy, and you'll really eat away at Ferrari sales.

That white Supra is Toyota's "lead" car whenever they are testing on the 'Ring. You will see that car in one of the video's of the IS-F as well when it was being tested there. It disappears fairly quickly and then once the run is done it escorts the car back.
