WEAVING THE FUTURE
Three different processes of carbon fiber construction are used throughout the LFA's chassis. However, when it came to forming the A-pillar and roofline, there was no way to create such a complex three-dimensional shape. The solution: We invented a loom that weaves carbon fiber strands in 3-D.

HIGH-SPEED
SYMPHONYIn conjunction with Yamaha®, LFA engineers precisely tuned the V10 powerplant to deliver immense power. Then Chief Engineer Haruhiko Tanahashi employed Yamaha's musical instrument division to help create an unmistakable auditory experience for drivers and onlookers alike.
TRACK-HONED,
COMPETITION-PROVENNearly every element of the LFA's suspension was conceived, tested or modified while testing at the Nürburgring. Ultimate refinement took place while competing in the endurance races held on that legendary course.

KING OF THE NÜRBURGRING
The optional Nürburgring Package included aggressive aerodynamic aids, a track-focused suspension, 10 more horsepower and a recalibrated transmission.
These elements allowed driver Akira Iida to lap the famed Nürburgring in just 7:14.64--a record for a car equipped with non-competition tires.
DESIGN
0 TO 9,000 IN
0.6 SECONDSBeneath a hooded instrument panel lies a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) panel and a motor-driven ring that houses the LFA's legendary tachometer. Its digital needle was the only way to accurately keep up with the V10 that revs from idle to 9,000 RPM in 0.6 seconds.
FROM THE FUTURE,
FOR THE DRIVERInside the LFA, the driver sits as close to the center of the vehicle as possible, providing extraordinary levels of feel and control.
This sense of control is heightened throughout the cabin with nearly every piece of leather, metal and fabric inside each LFA, chosen by its driver.
DESIGNED DOWN TO THE LAST MOLECULE
The LFA is a complete expression of the L-Finesse design philosophy that balances Incisive Simplicity, Intriguing Elegance and Seamless Anticipation.
The result is aesthetically stunning yet incredibly functional. It is a study in how to manage every particle of air flowing around a vehicle capable of 202 mph [*].
