Toyota uploads three-hour video of Lexus LFA engine sounds!

As of the time this article was written, the world has been treated to a lineup of supercars and hypercars offering astonishing performance that defies imagination.

However, the author argues that none of these models can rival the sound of the V10 engine in the Lexus LFA.

Yes, even though this model has long since ceased production in 2012, the quality of the engine and exhaust soundtrack, reminiscent of a Formula 1 machine, remains difficult to match.

If you find that white noise isn’t helping you sleep soundly, you might want to try an alternative that’s perfect for petrolheads: listening to the sound of the Lexus LFA engine!

Toyota quietly uploaded a three-hour video on the Toyota Times YouTube channel, featuring uninterrupted pure sounds of the Lexus LFA.

For the information of our readers, the Lexus LFA is powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine, the 1LR-GUE, capable of producing up to 552 hp and 480 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition, meanwhile, features a retuned engine that generates 563 hp, with a gear shift that is 0.05 seconds faster, along with aerodynamic enhancements more suited for track use.

At the same time, Lexus sought Yamaha’s assistance to further tune the engine, exhaust, and intake systems, resulting in a soundtrack that is hard to replicate by any manufacturer.

As someone who appreciates this unique genre of “music,” we hope Toyota can provide recordings of the fantastic engine sounds produced in the past, such as the six-cylinder 2JZ-GTE, the sole V12 1GZ-FE used in the second-generation Toyota Century, and, of course, the legendary 4A-GE engine.
