LEXTECH

I was looking throught the net recently, and saw that Toyota/Lexus gave the go ahead to what is known for now as the LF-A the 500hp F1 powered coupe, it is to debut at the 2007 Tokyo auto show to go on sale shortly there after in the $100k range. So where does that leave Acura's NSX??

I've seen this crazy contraption at the NYIAS once or twice, where did you read this?

I first read about Lexus giving the "green light" to the LF-A in this month's issue of RIDES magazine it was covering some recent auto show I can't remember which. It shows a picture of the coupe with a caption that said something like better start saving your aluminum cans because Lexus ok's the LF-A.
I was looking through google the other day at work and just typed in Lexus LF-A and then just looked at each of the sites and in one of them thats where I read about it's 2007 release and how Lexus wants to throw as much publicity at this car well before it's debut. I also stumbled upon the pics of the disguised IS460 being tested in Germany where the LF-A was also driven.

There was a thread on here about the LF-A doing laps at Nurburbring. Here's a link to the video of it put through it's paces. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=105484

I wouldn't be surprised to see it stick pretty close to the prototype.

I sure hope they stick to the prototype, I LOVE THE LOOK.

It's very Ferrari 550ish from the side

Quite Lambo like from the rear

And COMPLETELY LEXUS ORIGINAL IN THE FRONT!! !!!

even though its all wrapped up in the edmunds video, look liek ot gonna be a nice looking car. what do they mean that it will be a low-volume flagship model/car? the LS430 wont be the flagship model of Lexus anymore?

I think Edmunds has their stuff mixed up. It would be difficult for Lexus to make a $100,000+ exotic sports car it's flagship and maintain the same customer base?

I' m not fond of the front of the LF-A with regard to the placement of the headlights, they're too low . . .

thanks, changed it.



yea, the lights are too low. I'm pretty certain the production ones won't resemble the ones on the concept. at the current height, the LF-A probably could not pass State regulations.

the low placement of the lights is to make the hood and nose appear longer, thus creating a very distinct design direction.
