^^ Nothing like an LFA on the dyno!!!!!



Looks like it might have taken place at one of the Lexus Corp. Offices in Irvine or Torrance..

I'm leaning towards Irvine...

OMG, the dyno run sounded so good. First time I've seen that electric spoiler in action.

The most beautiful thing about this car is how absolutely raw it is.

That is just incredible. That angelic sound is simply unheard of before.

Does anyone know how much LFA put down to the wheels?? Since it is a RWD chassis dyno, it will be very accurate.

That angelic sound was available from the Carrera GT before, I still can't decide which sounds better, C-GT or LF-A.

It must be a low reading dyno or it was a really hot day, as stock GTR usually dyno at 420~440 whp.

That is the MotorTrend dyno. Isn't it?

That was a big blunder they made where they strapped the LFA to an AWD chassis dyno rather than RWD. Ofcourse, the LFA was going to dyno low.

Found this clip of a funny attempt to copy the LFA champagne glass commercial but with paper cups. LMAO at the camera guy about the cup not being glass because "its a recession." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPPV5JKyhoA
