| Toyota / Lexus LFA only 500 Made Image from YouTube Video "Making of the LFA" |
Anyone who knows me well knows I am a automotive nerd enthusiast zealot who looks at cars or automobiles as rolling examples of applied industrial art & science imbued with technology that defines the era we are living in while also creative fun excitement & emotion & freedom by allowing people to use roads to go places together // exploration & the journey & experience of acceleration & deceleration & handling & NVH & sounds of the tires interacting with the road & the exhaust noise or funny motor & motor controller sounds of an EV that are reminiscent of a brushless power tool turbocharged rocket engine performance scale energy out // in the P100 D Tesla Model S or similar.
500 LFA Made a Marketing Move to Add Brand Value to LEXUS
A marketing move to add value to the Lexus brand & imbue further automative manufacturing ideologies at Toyota to continue making reliable, exceptionally well made, and very high quality automobiles & other vehicles well into the future, especially with innovative solid state batteries & compact IPM Yamaha electric VFD motor generators with integrated charge & discharge controller linked via electro-mechanical breakers via short high current cables direct to the energy storage module or ESM made with cutting edge batteries & super capacitors linked as a system module to absorb thousands of amps of DC during brake regeneration charging & too give off thousands of amps of DC during acceleration, all at 800+ volts to enable smaller wires to do so efficiently & to produce better axial magnetic flux density in the IPM motors for enhanced performance & lower mass //
Aerospace Production Techniques at LFA Works, Japan
Cleanrooms, autoclaves, amazing CNC 5 axis mills & hand laid pre-impregnated thermal epoxy resin bound carbon fibers that makes parts stronger than steel & half the mass of aluminum. Some 15000 parts, ~60% carbon fiber, and a Yamaha tuned engine with high pitch formula one sound that can send body shivers down someone listening to its acoustical emissions, tuned to make more noise & to translate that high revving V10 F1 engine sound into the world where people can enjoy it!
LFA Makes Me Appreciate our 20 MT-03, 10 Prius & 05 Prius More
Limited productions, exceptional production unlike anything Toyota / Lexus every made before / truly a hybrid between the Yamaha motorcycle excellence high power low mass engines optimized like the R3 engine in our 2020 MT03 that sounds amazing, compact & naturally aspirated with an exhaust note that gives me shivers when I accelerate from 3K to 8K while getting onto the freeway, with rapid response that loves to rev to higher RPMs where the 40ish HP come to life as the engine approaches 11K RPM // Yamaha really knows how to make a dope engine & so does Toyota & Lexus so when they work together they get hybrid synergy of design optimization that makes something truly exceptional like the LFA to be produced! Truly a wonderful work of applied technology, science, engineering, manufacturing excellence & amazing Made in Japan automotive artwork quality vehicles that are durable, long lasting, reliable & excellent like our 05 & 10 Prius models //
