Lexus Feature Advance - Your Heart Will Skip a Beat
Their reputation is built on designing luxurious, beautiful, dependable cars that the world has fallen in love with. Now Lexus can add horse power to their resume as the Lexus LFA offers an unbelievable 552 horse power engine in this two seat sports coupe. Faint of heart need not apply for a loan on this one; if the vehicle doesn't cause your heart to skip a beat the sticker price may put you in cardiac arrest. At £213,000, it's merely a dream for the average car buyer and a steal for those who demand a side order of exotic beauty to go with their heaping pile of raw power.
As you kick back in the semi-aniline leather seat with one hand wrapped around the leather and carbon steering wheel and the other on the 6-speed automatic sequential gearbox, you may not even hear the hum of the 4.8 liter V10 engine as you go from 0 to 100km in 3.6 seconds and glance at the LCD driver display as you hit speeds in excess of 322km per hour.
Turn on the XM radio and twelve speakers with twelve channels will deliver the ultimate in sound with 1,002 watts of power from the signature Mark Levinson surround system. Specially designed for the LFA, this system was built to provide less weight, less heat generation and more power. With one additional seat for a passenger and equipped with dual zone climate controls, you may not even notice your wife in the passenger seat.
The outside world may fade away as you get lost in this stunning ride but you will be quite visible to everyone else as this vehicle is a bona fide head-turner. With thirty dramatic exterior colors like passionate pink, crystal gold or orange, six different paint colors for your brake calipers like red, blue and yellow and three different shiny, wheel finishes, this car is a designers dream. For the interior seats you can choose from ten colors in the semi-aniline leather line or go with one of the twelve colors for the Alcantara, which is often mistaken for suede and is so fancy they call it a ?seating surface.? The car is conveniently divided into zones and each area can be customized right down to the color of the thread used in the stitching.
People everywhere are scratching their heads and wondering why Lexus decided to put this masterpiece on the production line. Some say they did it to bring people into the showrooms as the masses love to look at it and maybe they would buy one of the more affordable Lexus models before they leave. Other say they did it just because they could. Regardless of the reason Lexus will only make five hundred of these beauties and many collectors all over the world have already placed their orders. If you have heads to turn and money to burn, this may be the car for you.
