Top Gear has celebrated, is currently celebrating and likely always will celebrate the V10. Now, you can join the party if you happen upon upwards of $765,000 behind the sofa/in that pair of old jeans, because this mint Lexus LFA has come up for auction.
And its V10 has covered just 4,400 miles, leaving you plenty of life to savour one of the very finest engines made (literally) by human hands. Or park it in an air-conditioned garage and watch it accumulate. Your choice, really, it's your money.

That admittedly significant outlay buys car #205 of just 500 LFAs built over a very, very short production run, which admittedly allows entry into one of the rarest performance cars in the world. It's finished in white, obviously, with a black leather interior featuring red details.
Then come all the usual goodies. Big, nat-asp V10 producing 552bhp. Six-speed 'box. Torsen LSD. Carbon bodywork. 20s hiding Brembos. Nice seats. A good stereo. Mad dashboard and – with this car – a car cover, a model, some luggage, and all the reading material you would care to display on your coffee table. Or not, it's your choice, really.
Having originally been delivered to its very lucky first owner over in Washington, it's now sitting prettily over on Bring a Trailer. There's a bit of time left on the sale, so if you can find upwards of $765k rather quickly, you too can join TG's big V10 party.

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - long-term review 2025
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon: is living with an American off-road icon in the UK adventurous or silly? Grab your sunglasses (not the fashionable ones – the ones welders use) and pray for your retinas as a bright green Mojito monster truck has entered the Top Gear Garage. Ladies and gents, fans and haters, please give a warm welcome to our brand new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Things are going to get mucky. Yep, an icon is in the house. To a three-year-old, a Jeep is what car looks like. A crayon sketch gloriously exploding into life. And the Wrangler is the OG. This is the brand that gave the world the go-anywhere 4x4 during World War II, and now gives it to anyone who wants to pop to the Co-op. They were basic, hardy, and staggeringly effective – an off-road utility vehicle born from military necessity. Things haven't changed. Advertisement - Page continues below The Wrangler first appeared in 1986 as a spiritual successor to the Willys MB and CJ series, and kept the square jaw, removable doors, and hose-down ethos. Our latest 'JL' model does the same. It's just got a few more creature comforts, a revised grille, and some zingy LED headlights. It's remained defiantly traditional, even as the rest of the world shifted towards sanitised crossovers and bloated SUVs. Only a few hundred are sold here each year (limited by CO₂ fleet averages more than demand), and we only get the binary choice of five-door hardtop versions in Sahara or Rubicon trim. The Sahara is road-biased, with larger wheels wrapped in tarmac-friendly tyres, full-time four-wheel drive, and chrome accents that favour plushness over punishment. The Rubicon laughs in its face. And that's what we've got. Named after the Californian trail, it swaps chrome for grit, and ride comfort for rock clearance. It's got short gearing, a locking rear diff, a sway bar that decouples, and tyres that could double as flotation devices. There are also rock rails, heavy-duty suspension, a proper transfer case, and Off-Road Plus Mode. In the UK, our sole powerplant is now the 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine (not the diesel, nor the 4xe hybrid), paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard. Those four cylinders do their best to impersonate a V6, producing 272bhp and 295lb ft. In a car that weighs over two tonnes, progress is... leisurely. 0–62mph takes 7.4 seconds, and it won't reach triple figures – it tops out at 99mph. But this isn't a car for performance, especially on chunky BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain tyres.

There's also a reversing camera, carpeted floors, and – wait for it – illuminated vanity mirrors. So you can reapply mascara mid-dune. Or mid-downpour in Dartmoor.

Stock up on tuna sandwiches: the Fast and Furious arcade game's coming to consoles
Gaming Big on family, less big on realism Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Here are a few things you're guaranteed to have seen if you've been in an arcade lately: a Minions plushy that's redeemable for 500 million tokens, a spilled Tango Ice Blast, and, most ubiquitous of all, the Fast and Furious arcade game. The good news for anyone averse to two of three of those sights? They're bringing that racer to consoles. Originally developed by Raw Thrills (who also made the Jurassic Park lightgun arcade game) and ported over Nintendo Switch, PlayStation5, and Xbox Series X|S, Fast and Furious Arcade Edition is… definitely not going to cause iRacing to lose any sleep. Think wildly unrealistic handling physics, constant nitro boosting, and tracks where explosions are as common as tarmac. Advertisement - Page continues below If you think we're exaggerating, have a watch of this announcement trailer, and keep an eye on the ratio of cars pinwheeling through the air to cars driving on roads. It's not totally ungrounded vehicular action, though. When it comes to the cars themselves, real models include the Dodge Charger, Corvette Z06, Shelby GT500 KR, Ford GT, Bronco DR, Jeep Wrangler, and more. You might like Interestingly, while local split-screen multiplayer is mentioned in the announcement info, there's no talk of online play. That makes sense in a way – the original arcade version is played in adjacent (worryingly sticky) driving booths so it's a faithful recreation of that experience. That said, this being the year 2025, we'd have expected it to take advantage of the information superhighway for its multiplayer offering too. There's some visual customisation on the cards, along with bonus challenges between the race events 'like stopping a missile in the Swiss Alps or grounding a plane in Hong Kong'. Fast and Furious doing Fast and Furious things, then. Advertisement - Page continues below The game's due for release on 24 October. You've got until then to work up the courage to give yourself that buzz cut and practice saying 'family' over and over and over again in the mirror. Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter.
