LFA is the first supercar developed by Lexus, which was developed by the top design and engineering team of Lexus after 10 years. Mr. Haruhiko Pengqiao, chief engineer of LFA R&D project, said: "In the past ten years, we have tried to surpass every limit to achieve this goal, including developing advanced carbon fiber single transverse chassis and body. I believe that we have created a car with the driver as the core of design. " As the pinnacle of Lexus F-series high-performance sports cars, LFA supercar represents Lexus' infinite passion and unremitting exploration spirit of breaking through tradition and constantly challenging new limits, and once again confirms Lexus' brand concept of "perseverance and pursuit of perfection".
[Edit this paragraph] Forward-looking technology
LFA supercar uses a variety of forward-looking technologies to create a high-strength, ultra-lightweight body. The latest application of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) can not only achieve four times the strength of aluminum, but also perfectly reduce the weight of the car body. This lightweight, high-strength and impact-resistant material is completely independently developed by LFA R&D team. Engineers changed the traditional weaving method of Toyota Motor Corporation to the accurate three-dimensional carbon fiber weaving method, which not only helped to control the quality more accurately, but also laid a solid foundation for the application of this engineering technology in future products. The body structure of LFA is made of 65% carbon fiber reinforced plastic and 35% aluminum alloy, which is lighter than the same aluminum body 100 kg and stronger. This is not only a technical improvement, but also minimizes the environmental impact during LFA production. LFA's carbon fiber reinforced plastic technology comes from aerospace projects, thus creating an ultra-light, high-strength and high-performance chassis. Compared with the traditional steel brake disc, the brake disc made of carbon ceramic composite material (CCM) has the advantages of 20 kg lighter weight, remarkable thermal decay resistance and longer service life. With the application of many advanced materials, LFA supercar 1480 kg has low dead weight and excellent dynamic performance, which provides an important guarantee for its rapid acceleration performance and perfect handling feeling.
[Edit this paragraph ]V 10 engine
The core strength of LFA supercar comes from the new 4.8-speed V-type 10 cylinder engine. This mid-front V 10 engine is the same size as the traditional V8 engine, and its weight is not more than that of the traditional V6 engine. Its power output is as high as 85.7 kW (1 15 German horsepower). Compact overall size, lightweight structural design and excellent performance enable this high-performance engine to output the maximum power of 4 12 kW(560 HP) at 8700 rpm, and the maximum torque of 480 Nm at 6800 rpm, and match the exhaust manifold with equal length and the 12-hole fuel injection system. This is also the fastest and most powerful engine in all production cars. The acceleration time of LFA 0- 100 km/h is only 3.7 seconds, and the top speed of 325 km/h is exciting enough. The low friction program design of LFA engine is very successful, and the engine only needs 0.6 seconds from idle speed to limit speed. The powerful dynamic performance of the engine must match the intelligent photoelectric tachometer, because the traditional pointer tachometer can't keep up with the rapid change of LFA engine speed. This excellent mobility comes from the research and development experience accumulated by the engineering team in various competitions.
[Edit this paragraph] Perfect experience
LFA supercar has competed in the North Ring Road of New Bogling for many times in the research and development stage, and achieved excellent lap results of 7 minutes and 24 seconds, which profoundly proves that LFA supercar has excellent driving performance that challenges all professional tracks. In order to achieve the perfect sense of control when galloping at top speed, LFA supercar is committed to achieving perfect dynamic balance with advanced technology and innovative design. LFA supercar adopts the design of engine front and rear drive, and the new 6-speed sequential gearbox is installed on the rear axle. This distribution can combine the maneuverability and linear stability of the front and rear drive structures with the smart steering performance of the middle and rear drive structures, so that the car body can achieve the optimal distribution ratio of front and rear weight of 48:52. The sequential gearbox (ASG) is controlled by the shift paddle under the steering wheel, which works seamlessly with the engine to ensure that the driver can operate freely even in the most extreme driving environment. This intelligent gearbox is equipped with high-precision machined gears, which can bring accurate shift control and reduce gear noise. The upshift operation takes only 0.2 seconds. The unparalleled handling performance of sequential gearbox (ASG) greatly improves the driving experience, and the driver can experience the smooth feeling that all mechanical parts work together when shifting gears. The low body center of gravity design, aluminum alloy racing suspension system, external aluminum single-tube shock absorber specially built for the 24-hour endurance race of New Borgling and powerful braking system give LF-A excellent cornering sensitivity and high-speed handling stability, showing the ultimate driving feeling of passion and pleasure.
[Edit this paragraph] Limited production
Lexus LFA supercar will be officially put into production at the end of 20 10 according to the global booking situation, with a global limit of 500 cars, and no more than 20 cars will be off the assembly line every month. Each V 10 engine will be assembled manually by the engineer and engraved with the engineer's signature, which is of great collection value.
[Edit this paragraph] Humanized service
As the most outstanding high-performance flagship work of Lexus, LFA Super Run will once again awaken the dream and glory of flying around the world. Every car owner can enjoy the exclusive humanized service while experiencing the pleasure of driving. The Lexus G-BOOK intelligent co-pilot equipped with LFA also enjoys the same four-year free use right as other products sold in China. Nationwide, all Lexus dealers selling LFA models can provide daily maintenance services for LFA customers. In case of difficult technical problems or maintenance of special body materials, the specially trained team around the world will ensure customers enjoy exclusive peace of mind service. Considering the special materials used in LFA supercars and their special uses in professional racetracks, our service will not include four-year/100000 km free maintenance service, but we will, as always, provide all LFA customers with the same four-year/100000 km free warranty service as other Lexus non-hybrid vehicles.
