For car lovers of the challenges supercar always give a nice adrenaline rush, but when you challenge the best of Japanese technology, represented here by the coupe and sedan LFA Lexus IS-F, it could give serious problems to faint of heart. The idea of a duel between the two sports is coming to the Japanese division of British Lexus, that the occasion has brought the two almond-eyed race cars on the track Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in Leicestershire.
The coupe LFA is a supercar produced in a limited edition of 500 copies, all sold already. In the video resumes the high-tech equipment in the foreground (note the red part of the rev counter from a height 9000 rpm.), An instrument panel that gives the impression of driving a video game generation.
The LFA has a 4.8-liter V10 capable of delivering 560 hp well, downloaded from a 6-speed sequential gearbox. With the power to weight ratio of 2.64 kg / hp, got plenty of balancing the cavalry with the mass contained within the car's 1,480 kg, the LFA unleashes a shot from 0 to 100 km / h in just 3.7 seconds and reaches an impressive top speed of 325 km / h.
Performance is clearly not be solved without them the "little sister". In contrast to the LF-A, the Lexus IS-F is indeed a sport derived from a sedan produced in large scale. The IS-F uses the generous and powerful 5.0-liter V8 flagship LS 600, optimized and upgraded to a height of 423 hp and 505 Nm of torque.
The abundant power produced is discharged through the front-wheel drive equipped with a sophisticated eight-speed sequential gearbox. These performances by the Manufacturer Japanese speak of a maximum speed that can exceed 270 km / h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in just 4.8 seconds.
Like the LF-A, IS-F also uses a limited slip differential type Torsen able to pass when there need the high power to the rear drive wheel with more grip, with clear benefits on the rate of entry and exit the most demanding curves.
