While I feel this current version of the LF-A (F series) pushes the styling envelope, it does remind me of the current state of the Formula One cars. They are all full of swoops and fins as a result of extensive wind tunnel testing. Maybe we'll get used to it in a street car.

Thanks for the pics, xcntuatd77. Just a little advice...try using a tripod next time. Human hands are not attached to a steady foundation after all.

Looks a good bit like a last gen ES in that shot too.

I hope they give the interior a bit of the New LS' graceful swoops and curves. Mirroring the exterior.

I'm no expert but they look like decent clean headers!

And man that engine is HUGE.

A beast.

I would expect the headers to be cast metal for production, probably aluminum and they could replicate the tuned profile of equal length runners but it would exit down and back. I can't wait, maybe I can figure out how to come up with the $$.

I think it was XeroK00L that asked if the LF-A v.2 is a running vehicle...I forgot to answer him but yes it is NOT a running/driveable vehicle.

I love the way the engine looks. Not too fond of the car's front bumper though. The vents are weird.
