Footnotes:

The Stig's favorite car was the Lexus LFA.

Here are his comments on LFA:

Some general comments:


"Its a Stig type of car"

"But it's also the number one crowd-stopper and though not all the people we speak to like it, everyone wants to know what it is

Stig commenting on picking LFA as the winner:

"Amazing track weapon, super-stiff chassis makes it extremely sensitive to inputs...V10 engine has power everywhere and delivery to make the most of that...brakes powerful but don't interfere...lots of grip in slow and fast corners..food balance into...through, out of corners. What's Lexus? Does it also make fridges?"


Stig laptimes:

Ferrari 458 Italia: 1:19.2
Lexus LFA (old wet lap used): 1:22.8 (Apparently, Stig ran out of time to run dry LFA lap)/
LP570-4 Superleggera: 1:20.8
GT3 RS: 1:21
SLS AMG: 1:21.6



Enjoy! :chug:

I just find the fact that a car company created 20 years ago has a car being compared and favored to a Ferrari

Yeah, LFA is doing amazing considering it is Lexus' first effort on a supercar and favored as a track car over a Ferrari (and ofcourse, the engine sound as well).

Excellent read. Would love to see a C7 Vette, 2012 Viper and New Ford GT compete against the best from Europe and Asia someday

This specific line spoke most about what Lexus is really about:

How many other cars out there compete with the LFA in this detailed manner?
