The New Lexus LFA
If you haven't seen or heard about it yet, Lexus is about to come out with the LFA.
Here's the CL sticky link that talks about the car in detail. It's in the Lexus Prototypes and Next-Gen Hybrid Technology Forum on the main page.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lex...-and-pics.html
Here's the link to learn more about the car. You can also download an ebrochure to your computer.
http://ww2.lexus-lfa.com/index.html
According to this, all LFA's will be hand built and they are only going to build 20 per month for 25 consecutive months, for a total of only 500 worldwide. The base price will be around $350,000, and the "very limited" ones will be more.
You get to choose the colors for everything (exterior, seat front, seat back, headliner, carpet, steering wheel, stitching, metal trim, instrument panel, door trim, center console, and even caliper color).
Engine is a 4.8L V10. Horsepower is 552 and it goes from 0 to 62 in 3.7 seconds. Top speed is 202 mph.
Here's the official video...

Moderators: Please delete this if it shouldn't be posted here. I had not heard the LFA was so close to actual production and just happened to stumble upon the information tonight and thought others would be interested. A lot of people don't look at the main page; they just come directly to the SC430 forum from a bookmark.

Then again, some in our government might seek to put a stop to this as soon as they hear about it. I doubt they think anyone NEEDS a V10 and 550 hp. And by the time they tax all the wealthy to pay for health care, nobody will be able to afford one anyway. They will wind up in the cash for clunkers program after everyone that gets one is made to feel guilty for their excess.

Since this is not SC430 related, there is big thread in the Car Chat forum, as well as threads in the prototype forum with lots of info about the LFA. Please continue discussion of the LFA there. Thanks.
