Video: Motor Trend Drifting The Lexus LFA

Since 2000, Lexus has reigned as the top-selling luxury brand in the United States. That has been entirely off of crafting an image of unrelenting quality - you know, the Passionate Pursuit of Perfection.

For the most part, performance didn't play a part of the equation until the IS-F arrived. With the LFA, Lexus is aiming to show a different side of itself. And that it definitely does, and Motor Trend displayed that well in a new video showing them testing the car.

Drifting is a uniquely Japanese sport, and is primarily done with lower cost cars like Nissans, Toyotas, Mazdas, Mitsubishis, Subarus and the like (we know we missed some in there). But what about a $375,000 Lexus LFA supercar?

Is it the king of drifting? We don't know about that, but Motor Trend certainly had a good time throwing the LFA around a track. This is the kind of fun magazines are afforded. You can check it out below.
