[FM6] 2010 Lexus LFA - Race Edition (OUT NOW!)

2010 Lexus LFA - Race Edition







The 2010 Lexus LFA tuned by PTG Jamie is a must drive for those wanting to try something different in S class but something that is still quick enough to keep up with those KTM X-Bows!


The 4.8L V10 powered front-mid engine beast took me by surprise with its roar power and ability to brake hard in a straight line. I was not able to keep up with most S class cars on the long straights but where I was able to make up time on other cars was at sharp corners where the downforce at corner entry and acceleration out of corner exits felt just right. There were a number of times I thought I had missed the corner by braking too late such as turn 2 at Sebring Short, but the car just planted its nose through the apex and I was set up perfectly for the next corner.


The Lexus LFA’s lightweight carbon fibre construction allows for its supercar handling and performance. The car just looks nice with its sharp edges and matte black vents.


The gears feel nice and balanced right through from 1st gear to 6th gear. Each gear accelerates hard and quick to its optimum rev limit of 9000rpm. The Lexus LFA by PTG Jamie revs so hard that the engineers had to install a digital rev counter as the conventional needle wasn’t fast enough.


One of the biggest cons of this car is understeering at high speeds. The car just struggled with rotating its nose into the corner entry at these type of speeds. For example, at the first sweeping bend at Rio National Reverse, I had to just take my finger/foot off the accelerator and wait for the car to get through the corner entry and midpoint and then start accelerating again. On the plus side, the tune feels like the faster you are going, the more grip you have which is a bonus through these type of corners, but you just need to be careful of not going straight through the corner due to its understeer.


Please do yourself a favour and sit in the cockpit while driving this tune and listen to this beautiful V10 engine. In the high rev range it sounds like you are in a quiet F1 car. This noise is one of my favourite sounds in the Forza series.

I love the write up on this. Well written. I am glad that this car is getting some attention. I like the ad and the PTG race paint by PTG Fox as the livery does the cars lines some nice justice wearing the PTG colors. Great work once again team.
