The Lexus LFA may have been the first supercar built by the Japanese automaker but it proved very popular (even though some examples are still for sale) and is unquestionably one of the most iconic supercars of the past decade.
While the Lexus LFA has been universally praised for a number of reasons, the key highlight of it is a screaming 4.8-liter naturally-aspirated V10 engine co-developed with Yamaha.
This engine famously revved so fast that Lexus was required to install an all-digital tachometer as an analog one simply couldn’t keep up. In addition to that, the V10 produces a mechanical symphony making the LFA one of the greatest sounding supercars ever, putting it up there with the likes of the Porsche Carrera GT and Pagani Zonda.

The video below shows a limited-edition Lexus LFA Nurburgring being put through its gears on a dyno in Bahrain. It sounds absolutely phenomenal on video and we imagine that hearing it in person in a confined space like a dyno room would make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
During the best of the dyno runs performed, the car churned out 531 hp and 370 lb-ft (501 Nm) of torque at the wheels. By comparison, the LFA is quoted as having 553 hp and 354 lb-ft (479 Nm) at the flywheel, indicating that the V10 pumps out slightly more grunt than Lexus claims.
