Tiff might have had the traction control off. The stig had no problems with the power delivery. Every other publication I've read has said the opposite. There was no tending to steer out in the rear. A slight drift maybe but not a complete powerslide, I would say it's his driving style- downshift, mash the pedal, hand on. More finesse is required with the LFA. Downshift, linear throttle, steady hand, accelerate hard half way through. It seemed to work for the Stig, it should work for everyone else.
A thing I remember was the torque being what it is, publications said it was easy to get on the throttle half way through a turn because you could jump on it and not expect the back to throw our because there wasn't an insane amount of torque, but the willingness to rev with the engine means there's ample power. Tiff- what's good man? Are you a D1 fan?

I've never seen a happier reviewer... just like a kid with his/her favorite toy. Awesome video, thanks for posting it.
IMO, this confirms the 'total driving experience' idea that the LFA is all about. You just have to drive it in order to justify the cost.

have you looked into the possibility of getting the car in say hong kong or uk? don't know where else has rhd.
personally i believe lexus still have cars waiting to be sold. i was trying the 866 number randomly and it's still working.
how's your relationship with the lexus dealership? if you know some higher up people, i wonder if you can plead your case and get some attention?

As for HK, I believe they are all spoken for, I was thinking somewhere like the UK where Lexus are still not as popular.

My relationship with my dealer is very good. They are coming around to pick up the IS-F next week as it needs a service and when they come around I am going to ask if they would service a car imported from another country.

LFA at Goodwood by AutoBlog.
LFA looks just astonishingly good in red. So much better than white.

I like the last review even better. Lots of triangles, low and wide, about the same weight as F430 but more space (not to mention it's a GT with an F/R layout).

I'd imagine that decision is still up to Lexus. However, this option probably makes it easier to export/import a car from the US to Japan.
