Yeah, I don't know the details or specifics of that accident so I can't say but considering it has a carbon chassis and Toyota are beknown for safety kinda surprised the driver died in that accident.


I've seen a couple different LFA's (Amelia Concours) but not in supercar class to me despite all the hype. The FR chassis being the main reason, true exotic supercars should have MR layout. Same for the Honda HSV-010 GT with it's FR V10 which was suppose to be the 2G NSX. LFA didn't wow me like a McLaren F1 or LaFerrari.

It's just the sound for me. I think it's a good looking car, but that V10 wail

It was - but - he was going hard enough - and plenty of chances to mash the throttle - they just didn't want any top speed runs, which is understandable.
