The Lexus LFA Nurburgring Laps The 'Ring In 7:22 - Where's The Hate Now?

If there is one car that has easily generated the most hate in recent time, it's got to be the Lexus LFA. Boasting a limited build quantity, an outrageous price tag and essentially going against the brand's identity, it has "hate me," written all over it.

But when I drove it, that quickly dissipated. The problem is that the LFA won't be driven by many. Simple statistics, really.

One of the biggest complaints levied against the LFA was its lack of performance given its hefty fee. Well, when the Nurburgring Edition laps the Green Hell in 7:22.85, you've gotta tip your hat because that's a helluva time, no matter the price. AND it was on street tires.

So, now what?
