Hearing a Lexus LFA is always a great time. It's arguably the best-sounding road car ever built, with a naturally aspirated V-10 engine and an exhaust expertly tuned by Yamaha.
EkannoRacing in Bahrain decided to test out their LFA Nürburgring Edition on the dyno, and managed to squeeze out a best run of 531 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque to the wheels. But the numbers aren't what's interesting here—it's the noise. It's 9000 rpm of V-10 bliss.
