More Details On the Production Lexus LF-A
Posted by: Ed Hellwig June 12, 2009, 10:08 AM



Sources in Japan have unearthed a few new details on the production version of the upcoming Lexus LF-A supercar. Yeah, you know the car that seems to only exist on autoshow stands and the Nurburgring?

Well, it's back on again and should make yet another auto show appearance in its finalized form at this year's Tokyo auto show in October. The attached rendering is based on both the recent Nurburgring prototype and additional details from an inside source at Holiday Auto, a prominent Japanese car magazine.

Our own insider also adds that of the 500 units destined for production, 350 of them will be left-hand drive. All LF-As will get 6-piston calipers with carbon ceramic brake rotors, titanium mufflers, run flat Bridgestone tires and a six-speed automatic sequential gearbox.

Let the comparisons to the Nissan GT-R begin.

That concept drawing is Hideous lol. It looks similar to the Prodrive P1 but that looks way better....

500 units? That's fewer cars than the GM EV-1. Can you say loss leader?

^ Actually, Camo looked pretty good. I thought the GTR with the Front CAMO/BRA looked great lol...
