Jay Leno track-tests Lexus LF-A Spyder
Lexus LF-A even in it's least exclusive non-Nurburgring edition Coupe form is a very rare car. But if you're looking for the last word in Lexus exclusivity, there is just one car that will do - the Lexus LF-A Spyder - it will make your neighbour's LF-A appear as exclusive as a Toyota Corolla.
American talk-show host and high profile car collector Jay Leno recently had a chance of driving LF-A Spyder, while he was visiting Japan.
LF-A Spyder is a one-off, permanent "top-less" version of LF-A Coupe - it hasn't got convertible hard-top or fabric soft-top, nor does it come with a removable hard top, ala Bugatti Veyron Vitesse.
If you get caught in rainstorm while driving this, your best bet is to find a petrol station or a multi story parking lot.
Performance-wise it uses the same drive-train as LF-A Coupe, so no added value there. Since LF-A has carbon fiber body and is built around a carbon fiber tub, lack of roof shouldn't affect chassis stiffness and handling. Jay certainly was very happy with the way it handled high-speed turns in Fuji speedway.
Since Lexus LF-A is one of the best, if not the-best, sounding car on sale, absence of roof and rear window should make its gorgeous V10's scream even more enjoyable from driver's and passengers perspective.
But The Sultan Of Brunei is even worse, over 6000Cars is just rediculous. you dont need 11 of the SAME cars in the SAME color..Retarded.
Anyhoo, Jay is a TRUE Auto Enthisist, doesnt care what make you are or where yo come from, and takes good car of the cars he has, I also dont think Jay is the kinda person to Rip off a LF-As roof, or i could be wrong..
Maybe it's his?
BTW, I'm interesting in how many cubic meters does Jay's garage occupy? :D
Still, Taking the roof of this thin IMO just ruined its good looks, SInce its a One Off...By Lexus? Or a custom Job will make all the difference in price, and i also find it a bit weird Jay leno is reviewing a One-Off..
If I understand correctly, this car has any roof, so it's even a bit less weighted than the coupe, but I guess, right, the performance may be worse, because of worse aerodynamic. About the exterior - that's your point. I guess that no one is bothered about the price, cause I think it's already sold.
