VIDEO: Lexus LFA Launch Control Up To 160 MPH

Now I know we've covered the Lexus LFA extensively but there's good reason for it. It is a fantastic machine, no matter what you say. The stats back it up as does its look and shrilly V10 powerplant.

When I got my chance to drive the LFA I didn't have the opportunity to sample the vehicle's launch control, which seems to be standard with high-performance cars these days. But leave it to someone to get a crack at it, record the act and slap it up on YouTube.

Ah, I love technology.

Note: observe the LFA's brisk acceleration to over 160 mph as well as its shift times
