I turned the sound up on this video and it sounds like a manual transmission to me. Now that would be cool. At 2:34 into the video they appear to blip the throttle on down shift and at 2:45 as the pull onto a main highway, you can hear them upshift.

go down to Lexus GT

is that the front of the pic i posted before...it looks pretty accurate according to recent spy shots

the only difference would be the lights being more aggressive

Good find! The front looks too cartoonish for a sports car IMO. Quite unique (thank god it doesn't look like a Murci) but not beautiful. Doesn't look very much L-finesse'd either. Hopefully at least its performance will match up.

I am not a fan of this new headlight styling direction....

It lacks any L-Finesse touches but sadly seems confirmed by the spy shots. Why not something refined, which improves the original version, sort of like Sup's sig?

I totally agree with you. The pic looks pretty legit, the surface details, shading etc. look mathematically correct. Now this could be a rendering based on a real photo, but I think the features are real.

I think it has been overstyled and is borderline repulsive, first of all the horizontal lights do NOT work with the F1 nose, the lights work on the Murcielago because the hood lines run with the direction of the lights. Secondly there are too many vents, 8! lol...absolutely disgusting. I guess the best color for this car will be black.

enigma354, anyway I just slightly edited the pic in my sig (added lower and shoulder vents), I just love the original shape of the headlights and the design of the bumper on this rendering. This is what the LF-A should look like.

If that is not a photoshop looks like the engine is indeed in the front and needs lots of air to breathe.

Default Lfa

If it is a PS, then it's a popular one cause here's another one in red and it looks the same. From the pictures, i'm not liking it. And if you compare it to the camoflauged spy pics posted earlier, there are similarities, unfortunately. I like the original concept more. The other pic is the Skyline gtr.

Original concept is way better, this one seems good but it's more like a Toyota than a Lexus supercar.
