A screaming LFA breaks a champagne glass.
Posted on 00:08 by Unknown
Lexus, notorious for their obsession in perfection, has been rather humble lately with their new and overpriced masterpiece, the Lexus LF-A. But now, Lexus has put their latest V10 into the hands of a physicist to turn it into an art. They summoned the V10, with the insane burble of the rumbling engine that goes on to make an incredibly erotic cry. Cry that is so intense and magnifying that it makes a champagne glass shattered into a million pieces. That’s right, Lexus has just released a new spot featuring their lovely V10 beast roaring to life and shattering a champagne glass with nothing but its exhaust note, in its latest advertisement.
Now before the skeptical cat comes, Toyota had claimed that they had hired a physicist to find out which type of glass would resonate at the same frequency with the LF-A’s exhaust note. This was supposedly achieved at an incredible 7000-9000 rpm. Thus, no CGI was involved in the whole recording process. The LFA among other things is known for its beautiful sounding engine and this has been achieved meticulously by a group of engineers from Yamaha’s instrumental department, through the tuning of the multi-stage exhaust system.
Lexus has been causing quite a stir with the LFA recently, as it was announced that all 500 models had been sold. The more interesting point to the story is the fact that a third of these customers were from Germany. Yet this is a land of BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Porsches. Maybe they really like the futuristic TFT HUD after all.
Each buyer has already put down their 100,000 Euro down payment so it might be too late to check your bank balance. Nonetheless watch the video and enjoy the precision of Lexus/Toyota engineering, if you’re like me who could never afford such posh supercar.
