There has been a lot of rumors that a turbocharged(?) V10 LF-A will have 550+ hp, only because the natuarlly aspirated 5.0L V8 engine is already getting about 400 hp.
And having a top speed of 200 mph is "reasonable", considering that a Lexus supercar will not be all about sport, but have some of the luxury amenities that you would expect under the Lexus badge. Think Aston Martin, not Lambo...

I wonder if the LF-A will have the same ML system as the LS or a totally different one.

I forgot how many there was in a Vanquish S (as an option), if I remember correctly it had 13. So whats an extra 6 speakers lol
One thing I hope Lexus puts something in the LF-A so you can launch the car like a F1 car, which would be so cool.

True to the concept
Finally, here it is. For the first time without disguise, the V10 powered Lexus LF-A prototype driving is its rounds at the Nürburgring.
It’s close to the concept as we all expected, with just some minor changes. The official debut will probably be at the Car Show in Frankfurt during September. In the meantime the guys at Lexus will continue testing and fine tuning suspension and handling.
With photos of the Honda NSX mule surfacing a little while ago, Lexus probably wanted to let the readers of car magazines across the globe have a glimpse of the LF-A instead of the NSX mule. The Japanese super-car war has just started, beware of the Ninjas.

I wonder if this will get self park lol 
OT: One thing I am wondering right now is when Lexus will redo the SC, will they make the new SC look like the LS or more like the LF-A hmm.... One thing it be interesting if Lexus does make the new SC look more like the LF-A so it could be similar to Ferrari's 599 and 612. Thing is be long enough to atleast fit 2 adults (properly) like the MB CL. Plus have the same engine or slightly detuned one.
