Best Motoring, gone but not forgotten, as it goes out with a roar

[Dinesh]

It might be the end of days for Best Motoring and Hot Version but trust the guys with petrol running through their veins over there to make sure the staple diet of petrol heads the world over goes out with nothing short of horsepower rage and redlining rev-limiters.

The final track battle pits the Lexus LFA against the likes of the 2012 Nissan GT-R, Chverolet Corvette ZR-1, Porsche 911 GT2 RS and Ferrari F430 GT3. Quite a varied mix with a couple practically prepped for track duty while the other three are more street-tuned. Nonetheless, as with all Best Motoring videos, take it with a large spoon of salt.

The results may surprise you and you definitely get to see how the cars stack up against each other in terms of acceleration, cornering and launching, to give you a rough idea of how they perform.

Say a little goodbye and then hit play for the last 11 minutes of Best Motoring you might ever see.

The true GTR is seriously fast on the track....damn man haha

 

[shark79]

GTR to Exotics, BRING IT ON!!

 

[GasPedal]

damn , turbocharged awd car is fast.......the heavy 4 seater is the winner......when the race start i thought the lightweight and ultra expensive lexus lfa is gonna win.......
hail to nissan gtr.......

 

[alantjw]

if only the LFA has turbo.... SOB

 

[spec-c]

if this race was held in tsukuba, the results would have been a bit different i suppose. but its interesting to watch the ferrari vs corvette, cornering prowess versus american muscle!

The launch from the GTR was amazing. It just jumped past the F430.Nice!

GTR + T.TSUCHIYA what a great combination.. cool video Best motoring are the best

 

[stormlcc]

the GTR is still king! Lexus (toyota) LFA is RUBBISH for a £300k car, it's more than 3 times the price of the GTR! Give the Porsche GT2 RS (the widow maker) a better driver and it'll eat all of them for breakfast, but it's still more than twice the price of the GTR. All in all, the GTR RULES!!!

I'm still not a fan of the new GTR, but it's speed and cornering ability is just undeniably one of the best in the world

LFA has come a long way to be called rubbish

I wonder what would the result would be if tsuchiya drove the LFA instead

Even if tsuchiya drove the LFA, and he won the race, the GTR will still be close to it's backside

this car used 10 years to make, toyota spilled a fortune on it, and with a huge (hypercar) price tag it still isn't the fastest, what's the use of it? It isn't pretty this car (especially it's back), it isn't fast enough, it isn't affordable and it ISN'T AN ITALIAN EXOTIC. The only thing Lexus (toyota) did right was to make it sound good. 300k quid for a sound is (in my book at least) too expensive. If I want a nice sound from a car, I'll pay 1/3 of the price for a Maserati, thank you
