Lexus LF-A Sound Check

I know this blog is dedicated entirely to the IS-F, but I could not help but point out this amazing spy footage of the next model in Lexus's F lineup. Listen to the incredible sound coming from the LF-A. This car revs really high at 9k+ RPM. Although I cannot judge entirely from a Youtube video, the sound coming out of this car sounds as good as an Enzo Ferrari. The LF-A is labeled a supercar and will be competing against other supercars such as the Audi R8, Mercedes SLS Amg, and the Nissan GTR Spec V. Lexus has delayed this car for years, but it is finally going to be sold in 2010. This car sports the same F badge as the IS-F. It seems like the white model is louder, however the black model may not have been at full throttle. The design is not out of the ordinary Lexus F styling. The design caters to a very specific crowd, just like the IS-F. They certainly have not been influenced from the designs of the rival supercars on the market. Lexus seems to go out of the way to make their F performance models appear slightly over the top, with excess usage of mesh grilling. The sound coming from these cars is simply amazing. The cars will certainly attract attention from very long distances at full throttle. The IS-F sound seems very mild in comparison. The IS-F was purposely built tame to still capture the essence of the daily driver, with its dual stage intake that is quiet at low RPMs but loud at higher RPMs. I would not be surprised to see a high quality exhaust system included on this performance car.
