Curator’s note
A Yamaha-tuned V10 that revs from idle to 9,000 rpm in 0.6 seconds.
The LFA took Lexus nearly a decade to develop and was built by hand at a rate of about 20 a month. Its V10, developed with Yamaha, became famous for its sound and for revving so fast that an analogue needle could not keep up.

The story
Lexus LFA
Development began with an aluminium chassis, but Lexus switched to carbon fibre partway through, building its own loom to weave the material.
The V10 is light and compact, and Yamaha’s acoustic engineers tuned the intake and cabin sound like a musical instrument.
