Recorded live at the unveiling of the Lexus LFA in South Africa, the ZACS team speaks to Lexus South Africa’s General Manager, Brian Hastie. He tells us more about the LFA and some of the other developments from Lexus in South Africa.

That's a very pretty car.

The Lexus LFA is a super car like no other. With an engine that revs to 9000rpm in 0.6 seconds, a special digital tachometer needed to be developed that could cope with the demands. There are too many technological innovations to mention here, so it’s better to listen to the podcast where we discuss things like its unique carbon construction, development of the engine and exhaust note by Yamaha Musical Instruments and the exclusivity of the Lexus LFA, not only in South Africa, but worldwide.

Ooh what is that hidden under there?

Ja, definitely a Lexus, the sign in the background gives it away.

Even better looking in the flesh
