The definitive account of the car Jeremy Clarkson described after its launch as ‘The best car I’ve ever driven’

It is unique in Layout, with a front-mid V10 naturally aspirated engine, a carbon fibre composite body frame, active aerodynamics and many other one-of-one packaging features. Nearly all its components and systems are clean-sheet designs. It was limited to just 500 cars, and it never covered its costs for its manufacturer. 

The LFA took nine years from conception to launch, and the story took many remarkable convolutions. This is that inside story, by Tanahashi-san himself. A book as detailed and personal as the car.
