in november 2011, car magazine conducted a comparison test between the lexus lfa and the lamborghini aventador. the aventador has a advantage over the lexus lfa. however, lexus lfa weighs almost less. the magazine had established the lexus lfa engine as the better of the two going as far as saying that "[lfa] is powered by the best engine this side of paul rosche’s masterpiece in the back of a mclaren f1." regarding the exterior look of the lexus lfa, editor commented "to me lfa is a glorious looking car - beautifully proportioned and meticulously finished and with drama in every crease and curve". once the editors had the cars on mountain roads, clearly lexus lfa seemed to make a very positive impression on the editors as they commented "the way the aventador quickly reverses in my rearview mirror, my guess was not far off". "[the lfa] zings between hairpins and then peels cleanly into them, front end assured, but never artificially pointy and the rear noticeably wants to edge just a few degreess wide as the v10 feeds the rear tires with its buzzsaw power". in the end in terms of sheer driving enjoyment, the editors were clear that lexus lfa was the more enjoyable car of the two.
