Lexus LFA: The most underrated modern supercar
In just a short moment, the V10 engine roared and easily shifted gears at 9000 rpm. I glanced at the L-shaped Lexus logo on the steering wheel and turned freely on the winding road. I even began to wonder if it crossed another dimension.
I really can't think of it, I turned out to be Lexus. When you drive the Lexus LFA, you will inevitably realize the gap between cognition and reality. After all, it is an unusual, unspeakable but deeply underestimated cosmic good car. Many fans will have heard of LFA, but few have talked about it.
Perhaps many people have difficulty accepting the price of this sports car is $375,000, which is already the price of a Lamborghini Aventador. Its custom body is made of carbon fiber composite material, equipped with a high-speed, small-volume 4.8L self-priming engine (produced by Yamaha, which is good at track racing) and a sequential gearbox. Lexus later introduced a more powerful and more expensive LFA Nurburgring Package New Berlin track, setting the fastest track record. From 2010 to 2012, LFA has limited to 500 vehicles worldwide.
All of this comes from the label that dared to open the road every time he slammed the car. Who can think of it? Then the problem is coming, and you will definitely want to see what Lexus (or its parent company Toyota) is making. Since you are sincerely asking questions, I will tell you clearly: No matter what they want to do, they can't change the fact that LFA is a wild, powerful, and unscrupulous supercar.
Not a luxury car, not a GT, not a land cruiser, but a sports car, a super sports car. It is the closest Japanese car to Ferrari, created by a group of people who watched as tall as they grew up, but surpassed the original NSX, overtaking the Dodge Viper for 30 years, or the model of the Nissan GT-R. You may now know how exciting the LFA Formula 1 engine and exhaust sounds are. In fact, the whole car, from head to toe, is a strong presence, the name of the car itself implies "bull", LFA = Lexus crazy.
But the owner of this iron-gray car is not Lexus, but a friendly friend of Jalopnik in Austin. He doesn't want to be named, but his approachable appearance is a driving driver. As a person with such a net worth, he is very humble, and the daily car is also a Toyota truck or a Honda sports motorcycle. However, when he faced the temptation of LFA, he did not hesitate to go underground. Later, he also kindly carried me a journey.
He said that everything started with the roar. "I can't extricate myself when I hear that kind of sound," he explained to me the temptation of the LFA. He also said that he seemed to have seen the "money" party beckoning to him, but before he changed hands, he would first Have a good time, don’t sell it if you can’t. "I think of it as a rational financial investment." He laughed and comforted himself with the excuses that fans have always used. He also said that the car would never be placed in a constant temperature garage. This kind of sports car belongs to the road, and he also decided to make the best value for money.
No matter why you open LFA, pull the wind or go crazy, don't expect people to know the true ability of this car. Its design concept is full of Japanese style: the work is bigger than the shape, the skill is higher than the beauty. Each ridge and every depression, each sharp corner and each streamline is designed with aerodynamics in mind. Its mid-mounted, three-out exhaust pipe appears to be so dangerous that in some states it must have special permission to own it.
Since ancient times, sports cars are like Batman cars, but LFA is the real "bat car", especially the black one. Sitting in the borrowed Volkswagen Golf R MK6 from the back (especially from the back), I really look forward to a person wearing a black leather jacket with a black cloak rushing over to make me fat. Grabbing my collar and asking me, "Where is the drug!!!", it is very dark and very violent.
But what really deserves to be tasted is the body material: carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is everywhere. The frame, hood, hood support rod and steering wheel are all carbon fiber. The large use of this composite material has reduced the total weight of the car by more than 1 ton. In fact, Toyota's production of LFA is to see what kind of technological achievements can be achieved by using carbon fiber, so this car is customized on demand.
As long as there is technology, there is no way. I bet that there must be a carbon fiber dock at the entrance of the Toyoda man. Who told people to have this skill? This design concept is also reflected in the interior of the car. There are models and models, and the simplicity is not simple. Although it is a bit narrow, it is still comfortable. But even if the center console is replaced by a huge touch screen, the internal equipment of the LFA is still somewhat backward.
Every little detail reflects the designer's dedication, such as the design of the door handle, the lustrous aluminum pedal. But its navigation system really does not know what to do, since driving is the real fun of this car, why do you have to open the navigation? Pull it. Another point that has to be mentioned is the analog digital tachometer above the steering wheel. Because the engine's speed is too fast, it exceeds the response limit of the pointer type tachometer, so it has to be simulated by the LCD screen. High-end foreign gas looks good. But I definitely don't recommend staring at it while driving, and it's good to watch the road.
Later, I was not willing to look at it from a distance, and asked for a few laps. The owner taught me how to start: turn the car key, pull the shift lever backwards, press the start button, and the work will be given to the hungry engine. I know this will be a driving experience worth remembering. So what is the experience of LFA opening up? Let me give you a hint: it has no speed limit device! It has no speed limit device!
Let go of all the impressions about Lexus in your mind, comfort and luxury, tall and steady, forget it. This car broke all the dusty insights and completed a gorgeous turn. This is a car that will let you release your nature. It is even wilder than the McLaren 650S that I opened on the same road earlier this year. LFA will never drag your hind legs, and will never play cards. Once on the road, it is the beast of the head whistling.
When you want to pee and have not opened the chain, its speed has reached 9000 rpm red line. Once you catch the steering wheel, the car is driving you instead of driving, and the strong push back feels the adrenaline soaring. The compact V10 engine is as heavy as the V6, but has a horsepower output of 552hp and a peak torque of 480Nm. It is said to be only a little more than 3 seconds. Unlike other supercars, the LFA unfortunately releases its wildness. Its top speed is said to reach 202 mph (about 325 km / h), but I did not test it.
Part of its powerful power experience comes from the 6-speed semi-automatic transmission. When shifting, whether it is automatic or manual, it responds positively and quickly. Gentleness is not the style of LFA. Whether it is now or a former enemy, it is a pediatrics compared to LFA. It's not as smooth and delicate as Porsche or Ferrari, but it's fast enough and strong enough. The reverse gear is a small button on the left side of the dashboard.
The rage of the V10 engine circling around the mountains, the owner said yes, everything in the LFA is wonderful, but its roar is really tempting. It restores the temptation of the F1 car, not the turbocharged F1 car that is now being squandered by the population, but the F1 that had to be watched with earplugs. That kind of sound, the two words are summarized: I want a life. Sitting in the back row listening to the performance of the engine is simply the best experience in the world.
But its engine, gearbox and overly primitive features also cause problems. It is difficult to find the most effective point of the power belt on the twisted and twisted road in Texas, so that the car can drive through the corner more easily. The transmission requirements are also high and must be maintained at high speeds, but this is not a good thing for the V10.
Like the Honda VTEC, the LFA is basically at a high speed. It doesn't start to release powerful torque like a python or even a Corvette STIngray. You have to do it yourself and get to the peak speed. In order to make it really smash, you have to guarantee that you can't be scared by its powerful power and roar. It takes at least more time than me to get an LFA to take the time to get used to it. You must first find out its temper to find out its hidden hands. I didn't even figure out how it was on the road, so I ranked first on my wish list.
The LFA is an absolutely stunning and absolutely fascinating car. Although it is limited, although it is underestimated, despite its large and small problems, it is absolutely worthy of the test of time, independent of the world, and proud of it. However, all this has raised a question for us - can LFA be a successful Lexus car? I can't tell, it depends on how to define success. It really does not achieve the ultimate effect of the Audi R8, it is too rare, too expensive, too unique. Lexus has never had a super-performance car since the LFA, and we have not seen the emergence of carbon fiber. And even if it's fast, where can it be? That's right, but I still recommend you. If you have the chance, you must open the LFA, open the hood, and appreciate the fineness of the carbon fiber. Listen to the sound of the engine. You will understand what I said.
HD Slip Ring is an electromechanical device. It allows the transmission of power and signals from a stationary to a rotating structure. It consists of an electrically conductive rotating ring, with one or more stationary contacts. They are called "stations" or "spokes". Electrical signals (power and/or data) are transmitted through the slip ring. This is done by means of brushes that make contact with the ring.
It is typically used where there is a need to rotate one object relative to another. Especially for passing power and/or signals from the stationary object to the rotating object.
Regarding it's application in conjunction with other equipment, we'll need high-quality production. Oubaibo uses components imported from the United States and high-frequency signal processing. Which has the characteristics of small size, lightweight, good insulation performance, stable transmission, and so on. Its unique design makes it an ideal choice for many applications.
