Media personality and entrepreneur Jeremy Clarkson has revealed his desire to own a specific car among the thousands available in the market. Known for his recent work on “Clarkson’s Farm” in addition to his car-related content, Clarkson expressed his admiration for the Lexus LFA, a V10 supercar he first experienced in the early 2010s. Describing the LFA as a car he still dreams of owning, Clarkson highlighted the unique sound of its engine, likening it to a “wounded bear” and emphasizing the sheer joy it brings.
Having previously labeled the Lexus LFA as the best car he has ever driven due to its mesmerizing V10 engine sound, Clarkson pointed out its flaws while emphasizing the emotional impact of its noise, a feature he feels is lacking in electric cars. In a conversation with car reviewer Harry Metcalfe, Clarkson discussed his reservations about electric vehicles, citing the absence of engine noise as a significant factor that diminishes his enthusiasm for them.
Reflecting on the evolution of cars over the years, Clarkson identified a shift towards electronic components in vehicles post-2015, expressing nostalgia for the reliability and simplicity of cars from the past. He lamented the current trend towards electronic and complex systems in modern cars, contrasting them with the straightforward and environmentally friendly nature of older vehicles.
