Lexus LFA

When you think of Japanese supercars you think of cars like the Toyota Supra and Nissan GTR which are legendary supercars. But there was a time when there was an even more special and unique Japanese supercar, one that is known for its design, speed and sound. This car was the Lexus LFA. It was the only true supercar Lexus ever built and it was produced from 2010 to 2012.

The 12C is also very well designed and it looks great considering it was the first road car McLaren ever designed and created. The 12C also has a unique suspension system. There is also a convertible version of the 12C called the 12C Spider which is also pretty good looking too. Yet som...
