Journey of Tofu

I saw the review of an excellent car in my opinion on UK BBC Top Gear. Its the Lexus LFA supercar. I know Lexus had before this made all those luxurious car, in example, the famous RX350 in Malaysia. But to come up with a supercar, and this is not your ordinary supercar.

What made it even more appealing to me, is its ultimate engineering. Carbon fibre takes up 65% of the body's weight. That means, its light! It has 552hp at 8700rpm, carbon ceramic disc brakes and so on. The sound of the engine, if you're sitting inside racing, I think you'll feel like you're racing in a F1 car. Just listen to it! And this car project took Lexus 9 or 10 years to complete to this final beauty.

Now, the one thing the review mentioned is, the rev meter is made of digital display. Why?? Because the analogue (that means the old, needle thing) rpm gauge can't match up with the speed of the rpm. How cool is that? Even the wing mirror is made so that the aerodynamics is optimized!!!





A car, made out for sheer engineering excitement, the LFA.




The only bad point? Its limited production of 500 cars, and with selective customers by Lexus, as well as a price tag of 340 000 GBP (pounds), which is like...RM1.87 million, without tax. T.T
