Does Size Matter? Lexus LFA v Dodge Viper: DRAG RACE

2 incredible V10s are about to go head-to-head!

Check out brand-new and secondhand vehicle deals with Carwow:

Who's prepared for an American vs Japan face-off?!

We've got our hands on a 4th generation Dodge Viper ACR, and it's lining up versus the legendary Lexus LFA!

The question is, which V10 will make it to the finish line first? Let's take a more detailed take a look at the statistics …

First up we have the Dodge Viper ACR. It's powered by an 8.4-litre naturally aspirated V10 which produces 608hp and 760Nm. However, it's had a minor tune used to it, implying the output is most likely to be around 650hp and 800Nm! All of this power is sent out to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual, and it suggestions the scales at 1,533 kg. As of today, it's valued at around ₤ 130,000.

Next up, we have the Lexus LFA. It's powered by a 4.8-litre naturally aspirated V10, and this develops 560hp and 480Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels just through a 6-speed vehicle transmission, and the vehicle ideas the scales at 1,480 kg. As new, it cost around ₤ 336,000, but since today, it's valued at around ₤ 750,000.

The question is, which of these legendary V10s would you select? Let us understand in the comments!

Thanks to for helping us to establish this race!

      ​​@Tmoney94It has nothing to do with money because I love most cars that are more expensive. Watch Clarkson review, it’s a stupid car…the seat, pedals, and steering wheel are all skew, the fuel needle isn’t even straight either, it’s slow, and the sound is incredibly overrated 😂 an R8 V10 sounds way better

    I always have to smile when people talk about the Lexus V10 knowing it was co-designed by Yamaha and one of their contributions was to create the acoustics that everyone loves. They have a really detailed description of how they achieved this on their website.

      Also most people don’t know that the final exhaust tuning was done by Sango Co., Ltd, a Japanese exhaust specialist and Toyota supplier. It’s said that Sango were actually responsible for the final exhaust note. I think Yamaha worked mostly on the intake and cabin exhaust experience.

      @kamranki ^ more people need to know this. they just keep repeating ‘it sounds nice because music company yamaha designed it’. but in fact, most of the exhaust design, including exhaust note tuning, was done by sango. yamaha did the engine intake and cabin channeling.

      ​@Stainless1911i think 1980s and 1990s Cars also have tons of personality and characters. Like the 1999 R34GT-R, 1997 Supra RZ and Vector M12.

      @Stainless1911 I’d imagine the same thing, my point is that back then there would’ve been people who generally considered contemporary cars characterless, while, say, the 90’s for them were a time when cars had character. It’s a sentiment that has been around forever is what I’m trying to say.

      ​@SwapBlogRU I see what you mean, but that was just my personal opinion. From the mid-2010s onwards, fewer and fewer models appealed to me. If you were to ask me for my favorite cars from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, or 2000s, the lists would be endless. Today, however, I’d really struggle to name any, aside perhaps from cars like the Ferrari 296 or SF90 and a few other models.
