bhp V10 is an animal! The car explodes up to 100 km\/h from standstill in just 3.7 seconds and if your ear drums had not been perforated well before, this carbon fibre concoction of a science experiment will only stop at 325 km\/h. <\/p>\n<p>The rear-mounted, six-speed automated manual transmission incorporates a Torsen limited-slip differential. Control arms comprise the front suspension, with a multi-link arrangement at the back. The car also features a Brembo carbon-ceramic brake setup consists of 15.4 inch discs and six-piston monoblock calipers up front, with 14.2-inch discs and four-piston calipers at the back. Forged aluminum 20-inch BBS wheels are then wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tires. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gtspiritmedia.com\/gtspirit\/uploads\/2014\/03\/LFA2-696x385.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-93775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/LFA2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/LFA2-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/LFA2-696x462.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/LFA2.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of only 500 Lexus LFAs ever built made a special appearance at the 2014 Calgary International Auto and Truck Show.
